Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
Manthast Absolutely amazing
GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
InitforREEL I love movies like this, based on pure belief that there's no such thing as coincidence and everything happens as it should. Alicia Witt plays a perfectly innocent wise young woman, whose want to hold on to her father's memory by keeping his store is more about following your heart than your pocketbook. Her current (and wrong-for-her) fiancé, who is in real estate, encourages her to sell her memories (the store) and become a multi-millionaire because of the store's location. She realizes this man has no sensitivity or understanding of her feelings and who she really is. Of course, there's more to the story.....she had met another man in the most peculiar and humorous way, a way that probably really could happen. As it is said so beautifully in this movie, "Life is about Timing, and Timing is Everything in Life and Love.".
cammietime The first two thirds of this movie is really good, above average for a Hallmark Christmas movie. The plot is actually somewhat interesting and not the typical woman goes to small town and meets an old friend romance thing. Nobody is a marketing director trying to finish the "big job before Christmas," but yes of course they are all from New York City. One of the main relationships in the movie is not very convincing, but the other is pretty believable. Unfortunately, after two thirds of good plot, the movie implodes and the irresistible ridiculous events of Hallmark Christmas movies and questionable leaps of logic and timing start to occur. One "yeah right" moment happens after another, leading up to an ending that is the biggest can of cheese ever. A desperately desired epilogue is cut to a few irrelevant moments. But Alice is refreshingly believable and unique for a leading lady in a movie like this. Worth watching but the ending makes you puke.
Dark_Lord_Mark I have never looked at Hallmark movies, till 2016. I brushed them off but after watching 15 of them, YES 15 in a week, I must say, most are quite good and well acted and well written.This movie is no exception. Some familiar characters with familiar plots but it is somewhat refreshing characters. Yes you have a lead ready to be married only to meet another man, but the story is about Christmas, love and fate and does it all exist and intertwine? The movie is about accidental meetings, disaster, and accidental misunderstandings couple with good family and a lesson on life and love and how we maybe should love the simple things.Go watch this movie, 9.5 out of 10.
JaynaB A charming, if predictable, holiday romance.Alicia Witt, as a sweet and artsy semi-ditz happily running her family's antique store, is engaged to a polished, money-focused, big-city real-estate salesman. Through a series of cute travel mishaps on her way to meet his family for the first time, she ends up at the wrong house a couple of days before Christmas. That warm, happy family, by a credulity-stretching coincidence, welcomes and cherishes her in their extremely - but tastefully - decorated home. Of course they have a very nice son who falls for her, and shares interests and values that aren't on her fiancé's radar. Complications, emotional struggles, and a happy resolution ensue.Apart from that one weak plot coincidence to get her into the family, and the general niceness of both men when the chips are down, the only thing that annoyed me was the heroine's little speech at the end, in which she declaimed about a character issue that was not well set up.Overall, a nice way to spend 2 hours while you're writing Christmas cards.
