A Hallmark movie that breaks the mold of Hallmark movies. I was shocked. No high powered career women, or rich writer desperate for love. Just a girl who draws courtroom scenes, who's father studies penguins and then goes missing and she breaks some laws to go rescue him. Now that being said it was still a Hallmark movie, so there is plenty of cheese and cornball moments to help give you cavities. They actually forget that, while cute, Penguins are a prey species and them saving them would hurt the Whale species that feeds off them. Nothing to dramatic, but the whole premise for why she stays in Antarctic after finding her dad is a little lack luster. If you want some cheese, but not the typical girl boss gets it all, that Hallmark is known for, it's fine. Oh also you'll have to ignore the bad CGI and Photoshopped penguins and ice.
