Too many fans seem to be blown away

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Finding your way even when you're not sure where you're going. How many times have we made plans, only to find we have to take a detour. Bonnie Somerville plays a wonderful role and there's a warm connection between her and the young "Jo" played by Madison Brydges. Maddie Duncan (played by Bonnie) sets off on a road trip after being given a Classic Red Mustang; just that thought alone would be exciting for anyone. However, there's much more to this movie; it's about unexpected change and walking away from the "on-paper-perfect-plan" of your life and stepping into a happiness that you never thought could possibly exist.

I'm from Argentina so during Christmas time - which is not a huge thing as it it in the US - it's summer in my country, luckily i've spent the last 6 years in the US during that time and it's movies like this that make me appreciate every journey even more. Christmas is such a special thing and this movie translates exactly that feeling. It is truly magical. Yet this movie is everything we know about Hallmark. The plot was good, there were a few lines which were amazing - as in make me laugh for real, amazing - the characters were lovely, and so was the soundtrack. It's the very first time I notice the soundtrack.It's indeed a very beautiful movie, and it's the perfect one to enjoy on Christmas time. It will be even more special.

There is only one review as I write this and it misses the mark. This is an excellent happy movie. The lead actress Bonnie Sommerville is actually 42 yrs old and really reminds me of Stephanie Zimbalist in "The Story Lady" (this is a good thing). She absolutely carries the movie and interacts great with the supporting cast. Brennan Elliot plays the lead actor and it is just perfect. This movie is a home run. Kept my interest the whole time.This movie had the little touches that made it memorable. Loved when they ask the ex-encyclopedia salesman who memorized the "A" volume to define "Angel". He touches the little girls nose and says "that's easy, it is a picture of you". That was sweet. Love when Brennan Elliot says "That reindeer cost me a lot". The diner scenes were great as well. Yes the movie started in New York City, but most of it was in Ohio. Enjoy it.

Usually Hallmark hits the mark with Christmas movies, unfortunately this one misses the mark. The female lead is good, the daughter, traveling salesman and really liked the diner people and the rest of the townspeople. BUT, the male lead Kevin; there was just something annoying about him. Its too contrite a story; woman needs to learn the real meaning of Christmas and gets schooled by the Christmas tree man and his daughter in a small town. This story has been done better with actors who had better chemistry. I really liked the gas station/singer kid. I don't know if that was him actually singing, and I couldn't find anything more than this movie to his credit, so hope to see him in more things.
