A Disappointing Continuation

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

I watched this special show with my daughter while she was home for Thanksgiving. This story is inspiring and actually not so easy to predict as most stories of its genre. The magical "It's a Wonderful Life" type structure of the story and superb casting made this a tearful and joyful as well as entertaining movie to watch.

Christopher Lloyd says "Maybe it's time travel". For me that was the funniest part of the movie, and maybe the only funny part.For most of the movie there are none of the warm, or nostalgic, or ah moments. I'd hope for more from a Hallmark movie, but especially if it is a Christmas Hallmark movie. Actually, except for the so-called sleigh ride, this movie could easily not be a Christmas movie.One thing I hate about movies where the protagonist suddenly has a life with a whole new history, and no memory of it, is that she is expected to know all that missing history, which of course is ridiculous. I suppose it is meant to be funny, but it doesn't work for me. This movie managed to get past most of that when she quickly gets to her grandfather who fills in most of the missing pieces. But then there has to be a scene with a recent former student who asks her to quote something from the missing past. It wasn't funny; it was painful. And it wasn't necessary.The reunion and rehashing moments with Jason and Lindsay were painful as well. Lindsay nearly destroys Jason's new life.I will admit that the possibly predictable "Stop the wedding" doesn't happen. Resolution comes in a different way, which is alternatively predictable. She should have known what getting out of the carriage would mean.So we have our happy ending and we get some of those warm moments that the rest of the movie lacked.A little BTW, don't writers of these things understand time zones. Her mother calls from Stockholm while she's at an evening party in Connecticut. That means it is wee hours in Sweden. Another BTW, don't underestimate how big a deal a professorship at Yale is. That is really the Big Show in Lindsay's world.I am sure this was a good movie. The actors were convincing. Despite the pain, or maybe because of it, I identified with the characters. I just didn't enjoy it despite the ending.

Wow. Can't believe there's only one review on this. Casting was superb, and the story was sweet. Can't believe myself didn't notice the movies from this channel sooner. Always have been a sucker for romantic comedies - even more so when a holiday is added to the mix. First saw Master Eloise Mumford was in Not Safe For Work, and she totally grabbed me in that low-budget movie, then Christmas with Holly - oh, that was awesome. She did excellent job here, and I sure hope to see more of her in Hallmark's holiday stories(Though, for this particular movie - the Dalai Lama part was a tad bit redundant. Just saying). Master Stahl-David... his performance with Master Zoe Kazan in In Your Eyes totally inspired a new story out of me, and in here, his chemistry with Mumford was really amazing. However, even with these amazing protagonists(even with Legendary Master Bill Shatner), of course the top spotlight stealer goes to Master Christopher Lloyd - I seriously did not expect to see him here, and I can't even begin to describe the excitement whenever I even think about his line; "Time travel?" Reference to Back to the Future - man, already made me excited with his cameo in A Million Ways to Die in the West, and now here - top score. The story goes really great: it's really helpful(even with all warnings against knowing too much about the future) to see what happens(or what would happen) in the next few years, to actually know the every step of your way, the ramifications every move you make would bring... then go back to the point of origin, and do things in according to your true self's heart. It's like the story Big Fish - the boy saw how he would die in the future, and learned that he would survive everything else that he came across - it's very helpful. Gosh, I just love so much about these Hallmark stories. Hope they never end. Fantastic work from this kind, open-minded twenty-five-year-old here in China, and may the wonders never fade, and the arrows of Cupid always aim true and find their marks. Congratulations.

Loved this movie. The characters are sweet and charming. Truthful and loving without being sugary. Acting is excellent and as someone who loves any movie with a time travel component and Christmas movies in general, I found this to be the best of both worlds. You just can't help but love Eloise Mumford from the moment she steps on screen. Her smile and gentleness are completely captivating. Michael Stahl-David is a wonderful sweet and funny leading man, and Christopher Lloyd is the perfect companion for the journey, I also love the Back to the Future trilogy and the reference although subtle is not lost. Enjoy this feel good story about finding what is really important
