Just perfect...

A different way of telling a story

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Watching this movie again five years later, it's striking how sterile and predictable this year's Hallmark movies are.Emily Hampshire is not the usual fake looking blond used these days as the female lead in Hallmark movies. She's cute, quirky and funny as the lead girl. I've never been much of a Joey Lawrence fan, but he's fine here as a decent guy out in a bad spot. The ending is as stupid and contrived as they come, but you really want to see these two together, so it'll do. It's strange home Hallmark movies these days completely avoid any mention of religion, so it's nice to see both Jewish and Catholics portrayed.

This is a bit quirkier take on the plot device where two strangers need to pretend to be in a relationship for the holidays. I enjoyed quite a few laughs as this Jewish girl agrees to this with a Catholic boy.Their first rule is no touching and they break it about 10 seconds later when Julie sees the office creep and grabs Rob and kisses him. In fact this movie probably has more kissing than I've seen in any of these Hallmark friendly movies.They keep getting into little dilemmas where they have to do some quick thinking that usually leads to a "white" lie. At one point, Rob's whole Catholic family pretends to be Jewish because Rob and Julie have told her family that he is Jewish. Admittedly this isn't PC which hopefully can be forgiven, but it is funny.Joey Lawrence and Emily Hampshire are cute together.This story is a nice change on the theme and takes a tiny twist at the end.

Here is yet another Hallmark Channel Made-for-TV Christmas movie, this time starring the awesome (ha!) Joey Lawrence (whooaaa!) He's actually does have decent acting talent and isn't all that bad. Neither is Emily Hampshire, the lead Canadian here. But the movie itself has a dumb, overused premise and is nothing but predictable. Why I'm watching 90 minutes of Christmas fluff each week I am not sure. You'd think more than 1 out of every 20 would be above average but they're seemingly all nearly the same.5.6 / 10 stars--Zoooma, a Kat Pirate Screener

I really like joey Lawrence as an actor and when i seen that he was going to be in this movie i just had to watch it. The holidays are stressful and very lonely if you have no one special to share them with, I'm always single on the holidays so i know. This movie had a sweet twist in it being that the man was doing this online arrangement for his dying grandma and not just to show off to his buddies. THe other thing that i thought was funny is how drunk he got at the work Christmas party. You knew they were going to end up together because thats just how these movies go, but the funniest part of all is that at the end he finally made one of his mothers "visions" come true. I recommend this movie to anyone who like a laugh and a good looking actor, or can relate with a crazy family.
