Help for the Holidays (2012 TV Movie)
7/10
A Slightly Different Hallmark Christmas Movie
9 March 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Do you ever expect Hallmark to veer from the formula? Ever think that everything isn't ideal in one of their movies?

I'm not going to restate what other reviewers have already said about Summer Glau and the movie. It was a fun watch and had me from the get go. I was almost expecting snow in sunny, warm LA, California, but alas not a single phony flake or artificial snowplow mound was to be found. No women were seen wearing high heels in a blizzard either. And that was just fine with me. The red roses given early in the film are seen later wilting and looking less than pristine, another plus for keeping things real.

Yes, this is a fantasy and a romance movie and the little imperfections I saw were a welcome bit of reality in an otherwise unreal world. Well worth the watch.
