Strong and Moving!

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Blistering performances.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Sexy looking guy as a main character, with pleasant looking female lead as well as their two good looking female assistants. Light, fluffy movie was fun to watch for the first time & again for a second time.

Yes, the plot is different than the book, but for me that's a good thing. The movie tells the story of two very awkward, lonely people who find each other and create a safe space for themselves as they make peace with who they are. While not as "deep" as the book, it's far more approachable for the majority of people, and is 100 percent certain not to traumatize you in what you thought was the middle of a pleasant Christmas story (which happens to some people with the book, as you can see when you check it out on Goodreads). If you're a fan of the book, this probably isn't for you. But if you like sweet, heartfelt Christmas movies, please give it a try.

Enjoyable and its always fun to see mutual interests grow to friendship, especially at Christmas.. the most stressful season! The film takes us on an original premise, a promise, to watch strangers reveal how they came to be where they are today... and how they can help each other resolve issues, and take pleasure in seeing it unfold. Isn't that the Christmas spirit?Oh, there are definite production problems along the way... the extras working in the film are so bad, its distracting beyond belief -- particularly in the food court, and the snow man building contest. The fake snow is also very annoying. But the main characters do keep your attention. Sarah Smyth, as Ashley, was particularly believable. You want to believe that it's a wonderful life... including for a lawyer and a travel shop operator. Miracles... and good people... can live Christmas every day of the year. Now, it's time to read the book.

Loved the book by Richard Paul Evans. This movie "based on" the book actually had almost nothing in common with the book. The names of the characters, their jobs, and the fact that they made an agreement to be one another's companions for a few weeks until Christmas were the only parts of the story that even vaguely resembled the book. This was a totally different story! The book had mystery and substance. The book showed a dramatic character arc as both protagonists eventually fell in love, shared their innermost secrets and found they were still loved. The movie is stupid. HALLMARK, why would you make such drastic changes to a perfect story?
