Audience Member Loved it! Wonderful story, great cast and catchy soundtrack. I watched it twice. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Charming. Great music. Ending a bit rushed but good for a gay movie. Maybe you've turned the corner in mainstreaming. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member An adorable cookie cutter hallmark-esque movie! It's refreshing to see a movie with gay representation that doesn't focus on trauma or the coming-out process. This is a cheesy, silly must-see! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a charmless, hopeless, wretched, painful, toxic exposition. I'd have been better off watching paint dry. I will never endure this awfulness again. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member 2.5 stars This was the first Hallmark-y /Harlequin serials formula Christmas movie I sat through. It was painful but OK. Plus a good breakthrough with LGBTQ representation—now every person can be a focus of generic, overly sweet and substance-free, low-set-design-budget tv romance holiday films. It had it all: opening with an office Christmas party in a big city where the main character is going back to his (her/their) small hometown to settle a family issue like selling the house or stopping new construction over a town landmark, and they have a meet/cute with someone, and decide to save the day and stay. This time there are two hunky actors in plaid and sweaters instead of one. The set design scored a zero, with a dance bar that looked like a bar mitzvah hall. Don't think the moviemakers here planned to have DinD more than it was, so it's fine. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Formulaic but sweet holiday rom-com, given a bit of distinction via (highly attractive) male leads in a same-sex love story. Opening snark is a little high, but convincing chemistry slowly grows between Wyatt and Heath culminating in a lovely outside slow dance scene, and the stakes are suitably raised in such a way that one is actually not sure whether or not our couple will make it based on their different personalities and values. (Gay twist aside, it's a holiday rom-com; what do you think?) A radiant Andie Macdowell—more relaxed, warm and lovely than ever—really gives this a boost, along with the Colorado-set scenery.
