Audience Member This has been playing in the background for 38 min. I have paid attention off and on for half the time. Enough for me to know the story, who's who and what's going on. I really didn't think they made pictures like this anymore. Feels like a bad Hallmark flick from the 80's. I haven't seen much in the way of chemistry between the actors yet. ...and I'm not going to, because I'm turning this off and watching something else. That's enough said about this. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/21/24 Full Review katie d I felt like this Hallmark Christmas movie was lacking a bit of Christmas spirit. When he walked into her apartment, he commented on how it was decorated like the North Pole, but honestly it was quite plain, boring and not decorated that much! The storyline was not really specific to Christmas either. I also didn't see much chemistry between the lead characters, but I actually liked the character of Valerie better. This was a last-minute surprise addition to the lineup of 2018 Hallmark Christmas Movies, and I think it would have been okay to leave it out. Oh well. I'm just glad I wasn't watching it live, so I could fast-forward through the commercials! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member No chemistry between the 2 leads.
