Plot
Charlie works for a company that is taken over by Walcott, who believes family values are a priority. Career-driven Charlie does a little fibbing when under the pressure of Walcott's standards, and believes she's in the clear. But when Walcott invites himself over for dinner, she borrows her friend's house and daughter and hires actor Buck to play her husband for the evening. The one-night "act" turns into a full-time gig when her boss decides to rent the house next door for the summer, forcing Charlie and Buck to stay together in the fake lifestyle she created.

Reception
Hal Erickson from 'All Movie Guide' wrote: "'Family Plan' will probably seem a breath of fresh air to anyone who hasn't seen such movies as 'Picture Perfect' and 'Good Neighbor Sam', or who can't remember the mid-1960s TV sitcom 'Occasional Wife'." The movie premiered with a 1.4 household rating and was viewed by more than 1.9 million unduplicated viewers. It was also part of Hallmark Channel's third-highest day to date, and was ranked among the top 10 in the time period for household rating (#10).[http://www.futoncritic.com/news.aspx?id=20050330hallmark01 Futon Critic: Hallmark Channel Press Release 3/30/2005]
