Basically the movie The Holiday where the men switch instead of the ladies, and in different cities....

I really wanted to love this movie, but I simply did not. I liked it. The story was sweet.CONTAINS SPOILERS ~ ~ ~ ~This was a cute story, like many Hallmark Christmas movies, about finding love. There was not a lot of chemistry between some of the actors/actresses and that is the only reason I could not rate it higher. Country Boy and City girl were adorable together, very believable as a couple. I liked their characters and the acting was not too bad. I don't think for one moment anybody would believe city boy would be interested in any girl. They should have cast a different actor so that the "connection" they spoke of would be believable. Their story had no sparks and at the end of the movie I thought, they wont last.In the end the movie was alright, but I felt there was something missing to the plot. They could have dropped the scenes with some extras and added to the plot about Ryan's past, Shawn telling her everything about his and maybe helping the audience to believe they really like one another.Anyhow, that is just my opinion. I still think the movie is worth watching.

"You woke me up, Ryan. You made me realize that if I'm always planning for the future, I won't be present for it when it comes. You showed me how to be present." I think that's the quote gsuddy914 was looking for.Though it's a story line that has been done before, it wasn't a bad production. I've seen other Hallmark Christmas productions that I enjoyed much more, but it was still a nice movie. The only thing that started to bug me was J.T. Hodges, who played Owen, side burns. There are some shots in the movie when he is in profile and his sideburns look as if they are colored in with a brown marker. It doesn't even come close to his hair color and looks as if there are two streaks on each side, not that close together. It kind of threw me out of the movie a bit after I noticed it.All in all, not the best but still a nice movie for the holiday.

This movie has a somewhat predictable plot line, as do most of the Hallmark holiday movies: boy meets girl, boy loses girl (through a series of misunderstandings), and boy and girl finally get together. In this case, it's a gender reversal of the movie "The Holiday". There are some cute twists to the story and the dialog is believable. Unfortunately, as is usual for Hallmark, the characters are a little simplistic, so I was pleasantly surprised ... no, DELIGHTFULLY surprised at J.T. Hodges' cover of "Joy to the World." It was wonderful. His rendition was simple, fresh, while still being respectful. It made me want to hear more and I've watched the movie twice just to hear the song again.
