Honestly I found this a bit refreshing. The love story was one that existed prior to the start of the movie and not some world wind 2 week romance or two people reunited after years. I do feel that it belonged on HM&M and not regular Hallmark as it wasn't light like Hallmark movies are. Overall it was a sweet story about family and the spirit of Christmas.
I watched this movie waiting for something to happen... I think this was one of the most uneventful, boring Hallmark movies that I have ever watched. What a waste of a couple hours.
Something different about this one, and the acting is not that great..
Hallmark Christmas 2018 has been a dissapointment to me; but this movie reminded me of its prior brilliance. It does have a sad turn; but so does Christmas sometimes. I loved the lead actors and their chemistry was apparent. It is a great reminder that there is laughter even in the face of loss. Worth a watch.
6/10 - irritating main character causes this one to fall into sheer mediocrity
Totally straying from the typical Hallmark formula, this movie had potential to be a refreshing change viewers sometimes need from the "love at first sight" predictability of holiday films. Perhaps with a better script this could have worked. The two leads had zero chemistry...as a matter of fact, if I were told that they hadn't even met before they started filming their scenes together, I would not be surprised. All their scenes felt like an acted out first read-through. So very boring, though I did enjoy the actual storyline. I wouldn't recommend this one unless you run out of any other holiday films.
I happen to disagree with most of the reviews. I thought this was amazing. Not your typical Hallmark movie, in which the leads kind-of date the whole movie (they just don't know it) and kiss at the end. In this one, they have been dating for a year and go to Sam's house (Nikki Deloach) after her decesead grandmother reunited the entire family after a long time. I thought the chemistry was amazing. The relationship between the siblings and the whole family was probably my favorite part. Yes, there was very little plot, and it was kind of stupid, but I really enjoyed it. Nikki Deloach is always a pleasure to watch in these movies. And after than ending this is basically yelling for a sequel, which I would watch.
