A different way of telling a story

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

...like each Hallmark film. but, in this case, "nice" real works. in beautiful manner. good - looking actors, simple story, unrealistic scenes, magic, and a wood angel who I want to be mine. a decent pretext for a love story, with few crumbs of past story, an article and a so predictable end , forced and pure fake than you expect from the first half of film. so, aChristmas love story. a real nice one.

I usually avoid spoilers. This review has massive ***SPOILERS*** I have to give the story some props because the premise of a writer doing a story on the history of a piece of art (the angel) is kind of unique. But a lot of what goes with that premise is ridiculous. And once we find out about Brady's tree on the roof, bingo, we know the ending.But that ending makes so little sense. The purpose of the angel was not to bring great-grandma and great-grandpa together but to bring Susan and Brady together??? Great-grandpa built the cabin in Murphysburg but lived in Bethlehem and then gave it to great-grandma even after she rejected him??? Susan, the copy-editor and wannabe writer has a month to write ONE story which will qualify her to be a staff writer??? (Is that all she was doing for a month? Because that's what it looked like.) OK, it's a love story. Actually two. And a Christmas story. There's a magic angel involved. I should just go along for the ride, right? I did, for the most part, but the acting wasn't good either. I usually like Jennifer Finnigan, but I thought her performance was stiff and shallow. Jonathan Scarfe had moments, but I also thought he was shallow. Tahmoh Penikett should have been a smooth player, but he was just a creepy stalker.True Christmas story lovers may find this movie OK, but there are so many better ones.

While this wasn't the worst of Hallmark's Christmas movies in 2015, it was still below average and disappointing. It's not a spoiler, but lets just say the "twist" of the ending was no surprise.While I give props to making the main character a newspaper copy editor -- a different occupation than usual -- these unbelievable newspaper details were just silly:* She's never actually seen editing, only writing. * She's given about a month to write one story. * This is technical, but newspapers have been shrinking in physical size for several years. The paper she is holding at the newsstand looked almost twice as wide as today's newspapers. * Trust me, no newspaper report types "The End" * The editor assessing her first story is holding a printout of the story. It's 2015. At a major metro newspaper, it would all be done on computer.

During the holiday season tons of Christmas movies come out. They are purposely made to be feel good movies They are great to have on while you are putting decorations up - making cookies or anything to assist with that magical time of year. Which is a great thing especially that time of year. However you can only watch X amount of very expected guidelines with predictable repetitive story endings. Sometimes regardless of it being the holidays you want some substance. This offers just that. It is a great storyline that you really have to follow. Don't get me wrong it is still a feel good movie but part of that feel good you get is from when you walk away thinking wow!!! - That really was a great well thought nurtured storyline with an interesting story told!!! That is just my opinion - I say well worth watching & deciding yourself!!!
