Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!

Konterr Brilliant and touching

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Kirpianuscus I have many "stones" against this film. flaws, predactibility, unrealism. but the poor of it has a small virtue - the name of town. and the spirit of family of a small community. and the idea of recipe for the cookies of aunt Sally. so, it works. with the well known love story and the end who you expect be different - sure, in this case is real forced, fake, bizarre -. but who coould resist to... Cookies Jar ? and, sure, twoo good looking lead actors, P. Lynn Johnson remembering Eve Marie Saints and the flavor of cookies.

cammietime This movie gets lost and has some disconnected plot points, but overall it is worth watching once. The leads are interesting to watch but lack chemistry. "Jake" is a little dull and Hannah is kind of all over the place. What annoyed me most was the portrayal of a corporate takeover and related negotiation....what was shown was complete...bologna. Companies do not send a single person to negotiate for a buyout, nor do such negotiations occur on the factory floor in an open area surrounded by employees. CEOs do not travel to meetings alone to negotiate, and usually quality, legal, HR, IT, and compliance have a seat at the table and give critical input on any corporate acquisition. Also, as much as this movie likes to believe that emotions and passion can save a company circling the drain, in the real world a failing company requires liquidation or a complete overhaul to return it to profitability...which always includes layoffs and replacement of most management.

Jack Vasen When Hannah meets Jake, there's a little friction especially over the contract that Jake is stalling on. As he "mulls" it over, they get to know each other and enjoy the process. A cute little girl helps move the process along. They are a nice couple but I can't say the performances were either outstanding or poor - they were pleasant.Meanwhile, Hannah falls in love with the town. In fact this is probably just as much of the story as Jake and Hannah.Through the story, there seems to be a mystery lurking in the shadows. If you paid attention you possibly saw the answer to the town's problems, but the movie saves it for a last minute reveal.

pensman I sometimes wonder where the Hallmark Conglomerate came from. When I was very young, Hallmark meant special programs—Hallmark Hall of Fame--produced by Hallmark Cards and these were special specials. Now there seem to be a proliferation of Hallmark Channels.I'm retired now and my wife watches the Hallmark Conglomerate and occasionally I drift into a chair and semi-watch. Laptops mean you never have to attend to any show ever again. This was the "episode" my wife was watching: Christmas Cookies. I figured it out pretty quick. Christmas hating/ignoring female exec gets sent to a cute town, Cookie Jar, to close a deal that will allow a food conglomerate to swallow the town's single industry—Aunt Sally's Cookies—and put everyone on unemployment/welfare/Medicaid in rapid time.Female exec meets sweet B&B owner who drops a crumb/clue into the plot early that I suspect will eventually save town. In-between, heartless female exec (Grinch, used to be Scrooge, but now all baddies or semi-baddies are Grinches) begins to find love for male owner of Aunt Sally's and doesn't want to destroy all the nice people she has met in Cookie Jar.But the owner is going broke and has to do what he has to do which is sell the company. While all of this is going on the exec is falling in love with the owner, refuses the proposal of her New York boyfriend, gets an idea from her Christmas loving sister, helps her boss accept the idea the cookies need to be made in Cookie Jar and saves everyone's jobs, and then gets her heart's desire. Pretty sure that was what happened.I have a hard time knowing who the actors are in these Hallmark shows as they all tend to be very pretty or handsome and tend to look alike (to me). In this case it's Jill Wagner as Hannah Harper and Wes Brown as Jake Carter who lead the cast.
