A summer camp with a week of Christmas in July is clever and it worked. There were some interesting twists on traditional Christmas things and a couple that were closer to the traditional done in July. But that was just setting.
The story boils down to some of the usual suspects. A PA is trying to impress her boss that she is actually a writer and gets an assignment. Mom and Dad are ready to retire the family camp business with one last hurrah. Peyton and Thomas had a bad breakup but the week at camp throws them back together. And there is a big misunderstanding that threatens the rekindled romance. So predictable from there on out.
There is a secondary romance story between two men. A third story is a longtime married couple working through some issues.
Tori Anderson and Corbin Blue have chemistry. The transition from Peyton avoiding Thomas to them being perfectly comfortable was invisible. There was no transition. One minute avoidance, the next it was like no problem. But then they spent some good time together.
For me the clever take on Christmas in July at summer camp was enough to hold me despite the story that was otherwise a repeat of many other Christmas movies.
