In the film Sweetin plays Lucy Taylor, a character who doubts she will ever find true love. That’s until an unfortunate coffee mishap brings widower Jack Evans (David Haydn-Jones, pictured at top with Sweetin) into her life. Soon Lucy and Jack can’t seem to stop bumping into one another, especially after his daughter Sophie (Dakota Guppy, pictured below with Haydn-Jones and Sweetin) enrolls in Lucy’s class. As their encounters become more frequent, a mutual attraction develops. Jack, though, can’t overcome his fear of loss and allowing himself to love again – a definite roadblock to the happiness Jack and Lucy long for.
“I thought the script was so sweet and most importantly I loved the connection between the Lucy and Sophie characters,” Sweetin shared. “It was the first movie I've done in which a young character played an integral part, not just of the story but also the relationship [and] bringing the two characters together. It was something I hadn't done for Hallmark, in that I have a relationship with one of the kids in it.”
After growing up on-screen, the Full House and Fuller House star has a unique appreciation of working with young actors. “I do have a different understanding of what it's like to be a kid on a set,” she revealed. “I just get it. Adult actors don't understand what it's like balancing school and work and I certainly remember how it felt when everyone else was having fun and hanging out, and I had to go to class. I remember that being the worst. It brings a different level of understanding having experienced it. Like when they need a break and are afraid to ask. I do step in as I remember what it feels like having to just go along.”
