Autumn Reeser is one of my favorite Hallmark actresses and she didn't disappoint as Jennifer in this one either. While the actor who played Kyle seemed too stiff. Maybe it was supposed to be part of his character. Kyle started out with a chip on his shoulder and didn't loosen up very much throughout the movie. Apparently, he had been hurt by his ex fiancé and found it difficult to trust again. Jennifer comes to town to reconnect with her past. She is the next CEO of a huge company, owned by her grandfather. Most everyone knows the family name, and typically they just want to get close to her because they want something. So at least Kyle and Jennifer have trust issues in common. Lol
Anyway, what usually happens in these movies, happens. Jennifer spends time with Kyle and they fall in love. However, she neglects to mention who she really is and the fact that she's loaded. To be fair, she tries to tell Kyle twice, but he starts mini rants about how rich people are evil basically. So of course Jennifer stops trying to tell him and later Kyle finds out. He gets upset and sends her away. A coworker of his talks sense into him and he goes and gets her. It ends with a kiss, of course.
What did I like, except Autumn Reeser?
*The actor who plays the grandfather looks so precious.
*Jennifer stands up for her choice not to tell Kyle her position. They both have valid points and share them. Later, they both apologize and explain.
*The town was idyllic for Christmas.
What was missing?
*There was no magic or spark between Jennifer and Kyle. Maybe the actor was trying so hard to have that chip on his shoulder, that it hindered his ability to show emotions. Or facial expressions, except for a few smiles. I just wasn't feeling them together. It was way too awkward at times, even near the end.
