Hallmark are making poor Christmas cards, but they deserve a huge round of applause for this Christmas movie. Based on the same old cliches, the whole bunch of them, but cleverly embroidered around a great story. We are used with Christmas movies to be heartwarming but predictable, this one will up the game . Fresh an unexpected, just when we thought that we have seen them all. I guess that the retro touch is intentional, some sort of a hint that this movie aspires to sit at the table with the big classics. It does stand out of the crowd after all.
