Jerry R Ok a couple of people like this movie, fine. Count me as one who thought it was terrible. Why? 1. The screen play (story line) was convoluted and did not flow. 2. I do not appreciate being surprised by lesbian characters. (State it upfront so I can decide for myself). 3. I through it was a very bad production, despite having Bethany Joy Lenz and Tyler Hynes. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/16/24 Full Review Donna P Loved the movie. Great chemistry and acting. I laughed and got sad and hoped they'd end up together. Adorable movie. Have watched it three times ❤️🥰💚 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/30/23 Full Review hawk i I LOVE this Christmas Movie. Bethany Joy Lenz and Tyler Hynes have great chemistry. The writing is engaging and funny. The brother sister dynamic is wonderful. One of the BEST Christmas films ever on Hallmark! Please pair these two up again. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/21/23 Full Review martin f It's hard to review Christmas Rom-Com made for TV, their main goal is to be simple movies with a predictable comfort story, one-dimensional characters, and absolutely no stakes. So in this category, it's a really good Christmas rom-com. You won't have much from the story and some side characters can be grating, but the main lead, especially Bethany Joy, are fun to follow and relatable, which it's enough to make the movie work. I was also happily surprised by the lesbian characters in it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
