Very well executed

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Good movie but grossly overrated

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Just saw this movie and we live in North Dakota. There would be no way people would be walking around with unzipped coats or lighter clothing. The license plates were correct and the GPS map she was using was also correct, just way colder than the movie portrayed. Also, not all that many trees in North Dakota. I liked the story, but mostly just liked that fact that it took place in North Dakota. Wish it would have been filmed here.

OK...I felt this movie lacked hearat! It's about a famous news anchor/reporter and her "best"friend from college/producer that ended up going to a small town to report on Christmas. I am a big fan of Lifetime movies and no matter how corny, predictable, etc. I still love them. This one was disappointing! I like Lori Loughlin but in this movie, I didn't feel it with her. She seemed negative from beginning to end. Very little emotion and warmth. There is a scene in the beginning where the two check into a hotel. A teenager, who works at the hotel, (Loughlin's actual daughter) carries their heavy suitcases up the stairs and neither character offers to help this woman, a star-struck girl. Like I said, it just lacked any warmth, love, emotion, etc.

Watched it when it premiered, and I wasn't crazy about this. Felt that the main female character's confession about not liking Christmas was handled very over the top, being conveniently paired with an old college flame as her current TV producer. Loved seeing Willie Aames (an old crush) but have to agree with another reviewer--if Christmas devastated him so much, why was his home decorated like an enchanted Christmas village (gorgeous however). Wasn't crazy about Lori Loughlan's character. No wonder she wasn't married--she was a pretty hard lined you know what. Felt the father/daughter relationship was irrelevant to the story line, almost coming out of nowhere, as the writers felt that strained father/daughter relationship would help heal Kate's hatred of Christmas. That part of the story could have been easily left out, as I felt it contributed nothing. Perhaps she and Colin Ferguson's character (forget name) breaking up at Christmas would have been a better catalyst for Kate's yucky Yuletides and their reconciliation at Christmas be the Christmas miracle she always wanted. Would I watch this again? I don't think so.

When newsreader Lori Loughlin says on air that she doesn't like Christmas, she and her producer, ex-lover Colin Ferguson are shipped to Christmas-centric Hollyvale so she can "find her Christmas spirit". Can she do that when the town seems to be losing its own? I sat down to watch this Hallmark TV Christmas movie, expecting it to be pretty much predictable, standard fare, but soon found it something entirely different. The script started in one direction and quickly veered into a mystery about the town and then into yet another one, eventually revealing itself as a meditation on what Christmas means to people in a secular age.Although the stand-out role in these movies is usually some old-time performer in a support role, intended to please old geezers like me ("These young whippersnappers don't know how to hold your attention!"), here the laurels belong to Mr. Ferguson with his rubber-faced reaction shots. Well done all around!
