Reviews

I liked the movie. Premise didn't seem great and hadn't seen luci in anything butChesapeake Shores, but she played her part well. I think the blue contacts are too blue but her face sparkles and shows emotion. She did a really good job and probably needs more chances as hallmark needs new leading ladies. Marco was always okay but he was great here and it worked. They had chemistry , the other characters worked somewhat. I watched it twice already and say it's really good for hallmark and not bad for a regular non hallmark watch.

I don't get the review lengthrequirement from IMDb at the large number. I prefer shorter reads as most people do especially when I do t post spoilers.

I really like Rebecca dalton but she was so passive this whol movie. She got ran over by everyone else in the movie. She is a leading lady and needs to act like it. By everyone. She has a presence and Jesse Hutch is who he always is a solid p,Ayer. He is so in. The background that this movie loses.

I wish for better from GMAC than what this is the Susie Abromeitmovie is way better. I wanted this to be better I really like Rebecca dalton but this missed the mark. She has been really good in her movies but this one isn't her. Notsure she was the star but whop,ayedher sister was excellent for the most part.

It's a shame these reviews have to be so long as it's not worth extra words because being direct without spoilers makes the most sense.

I will say Jesse hutch was better in this than the one with Vanessa Lengines who could have been better.

I saw the trailers and the lead up's to this movie. I wasn't impressed. Typical hallmark prince and American girl pushed Romance. I have liked a few of 5he prince and such romances. Taylor Cole did one that kinda worked as did meghan Park. Not both of hereby the way.

This one only had the slide as a forced scene. They had chemistry. Stephen I liked in the Ruby herring mysteries which is another good o e Hallmark is killing. He played the role well. The script was soft but not forced so credit there. They didn't need to do a lot of muscle filler like the other newly released Christmas movie.

I will watch i5 again. We aren't looking at Oscarmovies here but enjoyable, watchable and surprised how much I liked Katie Cassidy. I will say stop the lip fillers but she was great.

I really like Torrey Devito and she was ok in this one. She usually Carrie's her emotions better. Her acting was better in. RIP but I didn't really like that movie until I saw it twice. The mother in law to be was quite good. She played the part well. She seemed like a demanding mom.

The Greek male lead was so unbelievable and missed the mark. He had little chemistry.

The movie drama, always drama In hallmark, was extremely week. The movie seemed forced in parts. Tortes mom was good and future sister in-law but the rest were so so.

I hoped for better but there wasn't chemistry and many parts forced. I will adjust my review after I watch again. Hopefully for the better.

They arent going down the path. Allison Sweeney character has lost her juice in last two movies. They are trying to create drama we're one is not needed. It's a shame hallmark is doing this to another great mystery series. The writing on the last two have been suspect. It's what they did to ruin Mystery 101 before they decided to end it because. Jill Wagnermadea Christmas movie for GAc ( pretty ok btw).. that was the best series and now dropped. I liked Gourmet Detectivesecond best buttheMurdershe baked series was good. I also loved Kellie Martin mystery series. The Hailey Dean should not have been cancelled. Shame they do this. What happened to Ruby Herring because initial Jane mysteries not good. Cut color murder, where's the nex. When you throw spaghetti on the wall you need to see if it sets.

Bring back the good ones explore the new ones and stop replacing them with new garbage.

Reshma Shetty gets an A. WillKemp gets a slightly lower B+. Shewas excellent. It reminded me of heredays on Royal Pains we're shewas a scene stealer . She has great screen presence and sold her rolereal well. I wish hallmark would use her more. There was ch3mistry between her and mr kemp. It wasn't appeared forced. They sold it. It's fun to watch a movie and figure out two people work. In movies we're they don't they become painful and hard to watch.

This movie had none of that. The periphery characters worked as well. I was.impressed

Be really good to see more of these characters. Pay attention.

Her last two Christmas movies lacked real substance. While she and Corey Seiver we're good together in both movies. This one. Just came together in the end in a hurry. They built the story and felt like they rushed the end. Ms hall was near perfect self in the role and mr seiverwas good but I the writing or scope of the script was off.

In their lady movie I think the stars overacted a little in the beginning. In this one it was 100 percent not their issue.

I say more Nathalie hall and maybe put her one of the mystery series but the writing needs not to be rushed.. it should be more likeJolly Good Christmas which was excellent.

The movie was decent. Th3 acting was good. There was nothing in it that made me want to watch it again in a hurry. Th3 neighbor was great and the lead male and f3male worked. Didn't see chemistry but wasn't necessarily their fault. The writing left more areas trying to incorporayeneighbor but didn't build chemistry. I would have hoped they acted more bonded like watching Christmas on my mind or one of my other favorites. Christmas in homestead worked it all. Need to pickup the pause in these or justspend logical time building chemistry versus trying to get the viewer to assume they have it. Spend more than 10 minutes to make the movie.

I exp3ctedi5 to be week. The female lead was a 9.5 while Malelead was a solid 8.5 maybe 9. They worked. I exp3cted repetitive fare but this was different.

Hallmark hit one versus their cookie cutter fare at times. I think I have watched 4 times in 6 months.

We need more of the same and moreoftheirmysteries they r3lease too cautiously.

Watched it again Phillips northeast is. Superb. Use her in more movies.

In my top ten hallmark Christmas movies Ms Teagarden has two. The Christmas miracle on, forget the name, and my Christmas Family Tree. She is great onscreen. This one misses a beat( pun intended).

I watch the other two over n over but will wait awhile before I watch this one again. It wasn't ad it was just kidding something always there in her previous movies.

Very happy hallmark signed her to a longer deal. Her movies and acting are usually spot on.

The chemistry from the leads is great. Bethany joy Lenz is great with Tyler Haynes.

They are solid actors and make this movie. No spoilers just pure enjoyment.

This is stupid in my brain but I enjoy this movie Avery time I watch it. Th3 music isn't one of my favorites, I assumed I would hate it for that butthetwo leads worked so well together. I will watch again.

I was sure I was going to hate this movie. While I like about half hallmark movies. Some I enjoy a lot and others are dribble. I expected dribble. Funny though I like both leads and never expected that from the previews. The singing wasn't as droning as expected. The dream sequences seemed like movie filler versus quality but at the end of the day it. Worked.

I watched it again 2 weeks later. I didn't miss much the first time, but I still really enjoyed Krysta performance. The two mothers were fun. Everyone else did well in their role.

I expected to give this a three as I watched it with my wife and enjoyed it. I enjoyed it and rated it for what it is. A very solid Hallmark movie.

New add

I watched it again 6 months later and this movie is very good. I don't like musicals but this was good and Krysta was excellent.and santino was really really good. Not my typical fair but really enjoyable. Just fo4 clarification I get no residuals if you watch.

She's understated bu5 good. This one with Ryanpeevey is most enfjoyable. Beluev3 ch3mistry but believe her angst through the movie. Ryan is good but it is very similar to other roles.

I kep5 watching and Italian Ricci is reall6 good. I enjoy her charchter. Her sister is better but they are two best in movie that's a fun enjoyable watch.

Tried to watch or 4 times until I finally got through it. It is a story that gets you nowhere. The characters although well played go nowhere. Bad story that will never watch again. I enjoy movies that get me to watch again. This never delivered that. If you had too sit through it once you would agree.

JessicaLowndes movies usually grow on me but this one isn't good from start to finish. Jesse metcalfe killed Chesapeake shores on leaving but this was his worst performance. I think it was the scrip5 was thin. Little passion, the supporting actors roles were so much better.

I will try again but this came off worse than a train wreck.

I really enjoy many hallmark type movies and I give some a slightly better review than others do but that being said anyone who gave this more than a 6 works on the movie or is related. I thought I was fair with a five even so it's a tough watch. I should have said 3 or 4

Again I like most the stuff the two leads have done but this didn't work. Jessica solo song towards the end was good but the rest weren't.

People need to realize that when you see such a disparity in reviews people who work for the movie must be trying to keep the reviews to watchable range.

While hallmark flare it is better than most. The female leads are quite good and believable. I would watch it again. Better storyline than previews suggest.

Good watch.

Nazneen Contractor did a good job for this movie. I was bored to death either last one. This had real chemistry and was well worth the watch. I almostdidntgivethis a chance and if I could I give it a 7.5.. it's not an 8 but I would watch again. While somewhat predictable as all Hallmaek fare.it was good.

She carries this movie and I really like Brendan in his his others.

Her personality shines through and creates much of the chemistry. Brenfdan is no slouch as he carries the spark as well which is what isexpected in a hallmark movie. I was a little disappointed the script missed a few beats but all in all a watchable Xmas movie.

Kristopher over acts a few times but I think that's 5he role. I wish we had a little more remembrance of the childhood stiff arm but other than that they. Worked well. I would say if you don't work well with him you can't work with anyone.

Heather hemming was excellent. She nailed her role and than some. I was shocked Luk3 Macfarland wasn't as good. Usually he nails every role. This on she kicked his booty. He was solid although his country accent wa# at best case mediocre he kept the characters tied together.

Need more of Heather.

The acting minus the fact that Eastern Europe doesn't speak Western European English accent. She stayed on point as did the other characters. It was a fun light hearted well acted movie. I thought Merritt was really good as was Trevor.

I would watch again and that's the bar on a Christmas movie. I would give it about a 7.5 but either 8 or 7.

Simliar but different than most Hallmark type movies. The storyline and characters worked especially the two leads. The ending was a little weak but I would watch again and best movie I have seen on GAC except maybe Kindhearted Christmas.

Susie Abromiet ( spelling) was exceptional. Keeps me watching the movie as does her best friend. Mr Combs never one I looked out for in movies was awesome as well. The nerdy rival was over the top a bit but what was worse was Susie's charachter never challenged his garbage as she should have directly.

Just an opinion.

It was good. Jennie Garth was great. Cameron is always good but they had chemistry. I will watch again this year but will definitely rewatch. Gac needs more of this duo as they finally had one that worked.
