No, he isn't. I only wish that Ed would do a little murdering. This movie is terrible. The only reason you're going to watch it is because there's an elderly woman controlling the remote and you're not going to have the guts to punch her out and take the remote. Spoiler: Ed pulls up and ask her if she knows what two and two means. She of course knows the answer. They kiss and a crowd of firemen applaud. Roll credits.For fun, try to watch and not be completely freaked out by that same piano line playing over and over and over; or by that annoyingly loud fake bird noise in that screams every few seconds when the scenes are set outside. I've been a vegetarian for 23 years and if I could catch that bird I'd get all Ozzy Osbourne on it.

Hallmark has a tradition of producing enjoyable family movies. I always look forward to a new production.I watched Second Chances for one-half hour and then I turned it off. The background music is louder than the voices. And the music is a constant, annoying "bing-bong" type of music that truly interferes with the clarity of the speaking. It is the same Hallmark music in so many of their movies. It is like a record continually playing, and like listening to a concert and a lecture at the same time. The music never stops. Every word should be clear and one should not have to try and listen intently. This is not relaxing entertainment. The classic movies had music when there was action, not when people were speaking. You could hear a pin drop and every word.So this movie gets a one star for incomplete, annoying viewing. Very disappointed in Hallmark.

a film without surprises. the plot, the problems, the end , the pink sauce - all is well known. but it is not boring, not dusty. and, in few scenes, it becomes almost charming. the secret - first, the Prince Charming represented,in a honest role, by Greg Vaughan. than - the children. and, sure, Ed Asner in a not great but useful role.dramatic and dramatic story of a fireman and a dispatcher, the past, present and future in a impressive combination, the choices and the hesitations, the wise kids and the best choice. a family film who represents another page for life lesson. for Hallmark - a must see. for the others - a not so bad oasis of comfortable entertainment.

An average Hallmark film where a 911 female dispatcher finally meets "The Cowboy," a fireman she has often worked with via the emergency telephone system.Jenny is NOT a widow as indicated on the summary line. She is rather an abandoned mother of two very precocious children.When "Cowboy" is forced by an injury to rent a room from Jenny, love shall obviously blossom between the two with the aid of the children.This then becomes a story of hesitation. Jenny worries that with Cowboy's dangerous job, the children will be vulnerable to losing a father a second time.Ed Asner co-stars as a senior in an old-aged home who knew Cowboy's father, long dead from a fire.The children really show compassion by reading to seniors at the home.It's a nice movie with traditional Hallmark themes.
