That was an excellent one.

Better Late Then Never

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

I have many "stones" against this film. flaws, predactibility, unrealism. but the poor of it has a small virtue - the name of town. and the spirit of family of a small community. and the idea of recipe for the cookies of aunt Sally. so, it works. with the well known love story and the end who you expect be different - sure, in this case is real forced, fake, bizarre -. but who coould resist to... Cookies Jar ? and, sure, twoo good looking lead actors, P. Lynn Johnson remembering Eve Marie Saints and the flavor of cookies.

I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 400 (C H R I S T M A S ) MOVIES AND SPECIALS.BEWARE OF BOGUS REVIEWS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. NOW I HAVE NO AGENDA! I AM HONEST! I REVIEW MOVIES & SPECIALS AS A WAY TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT I HAVE SEEN!Aunt Sally's Christmas Cookie Company is sold to a large conglomerate and executive Hannah (Wagner) must seal the deal and shut down the factory, which is the small town of Cookie Jar's lifeblood. What was supposed to be a simple assignment for Hannah becomes complicated when she meets Jake (Brown), the factory owner who's determined to keep the factory in town. Despite not being a fan of the holiday, the Christmas spirit in this small town is infectious and she gets swept up in the joy of the season This film is very easy to enjoy. The location work in the film is well done. My favorite part of any Christmas movie is to see how they decorate the sets. This is one of the best visual designed films that I have seen this year. AS for the film? Well its good. You know how it will end. I am more than happy to say that it is "One of the better films" on the Hallmark Channels.

When Hannah meets Jake, there's a little friction especially over the contract that Jake is stalling on. As he "mulls" it over, they get to know each other and enjoy the process. A cute little girl helps move the process along. They are a nice couple but I can't say the performances were either outstanding or poor - they were pleasant.Meanwhile, Hannah falls in love with the town. In fact this is probably just as much of the story as Jake and Hannah.Through the story, there seems to be a mystery lurking in the shadows. If you paid attention you possibly saw the answer to the town's problems, but the movie saves it for a last minute reveal.

There are lots of similar Hallmark movies around Christmas time. Often they involve a bailout of a struggling business in a small town and this movie is no exception. But this one is above average for a couple of reasons. The leads are likable attractive and not annoying. Jill Wagner is lively without being too perky as the corporate executive trying to bail out the cookie company in a quaint town. Wes Brown is the head of the struggling cookie company who wants to keep the factory and the town going. Of course romance ensues in a gradual not too cute way. The little Christmas traditions are quite alright and the rides on the sled look fun. Also the cookies are delicious looking. So there is an appetizing focus to the movie. The weakness is the solution to the problem seems a bit sudden and unconvincing - but what do you expect from this kind of movie.
