Simply Perfect

An Exercise In Nonsense

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Love it! Niall is my fav on all halmark movies.Great actor..... he comes across so quinine. Love this along with all his others. Can't wait for Marrying Father Christmas comes on

I looked forward to this movie with great anticipation, but it was a complete disappointment for a Hallmark movie. The only redeeming quality it had was Erin Krakow. The plot was awful, the romance had no spark, the good feeling you are left with after a Hallmark Christmas movie was missing.

My first complaint is the first thing we see after the flashbacks. "One Year Later." Come on now, are you guys in love or not? The way they left it in Finding Father Christmas, it does not make sense that they would be apart for the better part of that year. That goes double.I didn't buy that she would spill the secret, at least not the name. And not once did anyone say to the reporter "You may have thought you heard that, but do you have any evidence?" Erin Krakow may have one of the best "in-love" faces in Hallmark. And she and Niall Matter certainly played that well. Lucky guy got a lot of kisses and hugs. Krakow is also always great with kids. I had a hard time feeling the soft side of Wendie Malick. Even when she was being loving, it still sounded stiff. Peter, played by Jim Thorburn, was back and forth like a tennis match either welcoming or condemning Miranda, but that's the fault of the story.The story wasn't deep enough. It tried to mingle huggy, feely romance with tense foreboding and the result to me was just blah.I should have seen the climax coming, but it was still good.

What a great story. Great cast. Great casting. Great acting. I'm usually disappointed with sequels. This was as good as the original. Great writing. Watch both together to see how well the first movie blends into the last movie. Thank you Penny for getting this started. You will ALWAYS enjoy a Perry/Lind casted movie. The director hit all the mushy parts perfect and how Erin managed to get the veins in her head to pop out with such emotion is a sign of a great actress.I certainly DO NOT work in production and have never been on a movie set- although my son is an actor. I stay out of his business AND he has never worked for Hallmark. Wish he would. I simply enjoy it when Penny Perry casts ANY movie. I am never disappointed with the results. My God look at her success! Ya want a review - here it is. You want a synopsis - try elsewhere. I know how hard it is to write and develop depth in characters. Here the writers did just that and Perry/Lind matched the actors to characters. Is that so hard to comprehend? They SHOULD be praised.
