There's no orange-colored sky, but Alicia Witt is a cute, giggly carrot-top in this one. Her meet cute with Mark Wiebe is they get into a traffic accident. She's been sent on alone by his brother, her fiancé, to meet his folks and spend Christmas with his family; Alicia and Mark meet at the airport and he gives her a lift to their house... but it's the wrong family. Her fiancé has the same name.
It's a cute set-up and very charming, although the contrast between the two families, played for comic effect, is handled like a sledge hammer. In addition, her fiancé is intent on making a lot of money by having her sell her beloved antique shop on 23rd Street -- although it fronts in Soho, several miles and four neighborhoods away -- to a real estate developer for a lot of money.
Well, no one ever claimed that the scripts for Hallmark seasonal romantic comedies were subtle. There are a couple of laughs along the way. If it's not great, it's all handled competently.
