8.1 stars.
Same old formula with fairly new players. This is simply a repeat of a half-dozen other Hallmark films, the only difference is the pajamas. Any guy would love the overalls pajama design as long as they are comfortable. Stamp a brand name on 'em and you have a winner.
Charlotte owns a boutique clothing store in New York City, she is career driven, hasn't really come home since her father died several years ago. Yes, I know, I know, this trope has been beaten to death.
She goes home for Christmas because her shop and also, coincidentally, her apartment must close down for repairs. She has no choice, so she drives home, accidentally gets into a fender bender with a mechanic named Spencer, a real heartbreaker, all the women in town swoon over him. Maybe he's not interested in anyone for now, because he lost his wife a few years ago, but Charlotte could be a contender...let the romance spring forth.
As with any movie that gets a rating 8.0 or higher, I need not elaborate any further. It's entertaining, the romance is fresh, the family is likable, there is even some drama. Charlotte sabotages her life on multiple occasions. She needs an attitude adjustment and Spencer is the only person that can help her.
On the annual watchlist? Affirmative.
