SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
The excellent story just carries the emotions in this movie. I was fully engaged the whole time even through the traditional elements (ice skating, ginger bread house making, tree trimming). Loved the movie. Willa the single mom was played perfectly by Autumn Reeser. I think this may have been a good role for Lacey Chabert as well. Finn (David Haydn-Jones) is an illustrator of Willa's son's favorite book. The interaction between the 3 was just perfect. The use of the sketching was effective. The cast also includes Teryl Rothery who was great in Christmas Getaway (2017). She is always a delight to see but in this movie she played the limping aunt of Bramble house maybe to the detriment of the movie. We also have 2 others who played in Cedar Cove. These 3 supporting cast roles is probably why I did not score it a 10.
This is based upon a book titled the same, which I haven't read yet but might do so next Christmas. They say that books are always better, so perhaps I need to check it out and put it on my list of goals since reading is one of my new year's goals and it would be perfect to read it before we watch it again next year. We all know that Hallmark repeats their previous year's movies unless it is Friday, Saturday or Sunday evening (premiere time) when they play their new movies (during the holiday season). But about the movie, it's worth a viewing and I might watch again next year as well.
Once again, the casting department of the Hall Mark Channel comes though in flying colours. Their talent & expertise in casting young talented actors is proof in this movie. Liam Hughes, though cute, is so talented beyond his young years. His performance and especially the scenes with the character Fin(David Hayden-Jones) is outstanding. The chemistry between those two is what makes this movie not to be missed. The actress playing the mother is definitely believable but the predictable ending to the movie brings tears to ones eyes. What a wonderful Christmas movie! Well done, Hall Mark. Liam needs to be in more Hall Mark movies. He has a great career ahead of him and I look forward to seeing him in more movies.Robert, Victoria, B.C., Canada
Autumn Reeser is fairly hot in this movie, great hair but not much of a bod. She really wears nothing sexy at all. Big disappointment. I kid you not but the lady who plays the innkeeper is actually a scene stealer. I would watch a movie about her. It's a fairly original story line. I could live with it. Watch it again? I wouldn't just because there is not enough going on. Finally, the kid is annoying and kind of weird.
