7/10
Above average, good acting, lacking romance

If you want an accurate description of this movie, just read the top three most commented featured reviews with the highest percentage of helpfulness. It's a pretty useful algorithm if you ask me.

I think this one is above average, although not by much. Taylor Cole is in my top of female leads for Hallmark. I don't watch movies that don't have a female lead I really like. Unfortunately, I have resorted to deleting all the movies with Lacey Chabert and Danica McKellar and I'm half-way to deleting the Candace Cameron Bure ones. These three, while pretty and accomplished, do not provide sustenance for me. Many say they are pillars of Hallmark, but I don't see it. And so at this very moment I still have 72 unwatched on my DVR and I've already seen like 85 to this point. And that's even with deleting the ones mentioned above. If a movie containing one of the three women noted above is highly rated (at least over a 6.7, I might break my rule and give it a shot).

That all being said, these reviews are written mainly for myself, because I am not a great writer (I was told in college that I was not gifted as a writer, although I really enjoyed it anyway). And so with that, I must say I'm mainly writing these reviews so I can come back to them every year to see which Christmas movies to see again. I don't think this one is on the annual watchlist, but maybe once every five years.
