It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

I'm glad to see another movie that is somewhat out of the typical pattern for Christmas movies. It doesn't dwell on all those usual Christmas traditions. On the other hand, the story is pretty predictable.What makes it for me is Sarah Carter and Damon Runyan. They spend screen time together. They have fun. They make chemistry. Sarah Carter has an infectious laugh and looks for the happy things.I enjoyed the singing and the dancing.*** SPOILERS*** What I didn't like was the whole sequence around Holly breaking up with Adam. It is true that Adam didn't care about what made Holly truly happy. It is also true that his proposal was an embarrassment. On the other hand, he had good reason to be upset because she was flirting with another man right in front of him. She didn't set out to hurt him, but it was hurtful. But worst of all, the words that came out of her mouth to him sounded like nonsense to me. Part of it is the whole soul mate-myth/instant-love thing popular in romance movies. Also, riding a horse through urban New Jersey and New York is kind of silly. If you take this whole section and do it differently I might have loved this movie. As it was, it was slightly better than OK.They also left open the whole Chicago - Texas, which is just as bad as Chicago - New York.

This movie is just plain bad. You can tell what will happen before you even start the movie. Also anyone from Texas would just want to beat the writer for all the bad cowboy clichés they use. I know its a Hallmark movie but its like they don't even try. Its the same story. Pretty girl has jerky boyfriend she loves. Meets a hot stranger while traveling home. They hit it off the boyfriend shows what a jerk he is and she ends up with the new guy. Nothing to say she was cheating on her boyfriend at Christmas time. Seriously try something new. Apparently my review is two short and I have to add a couple more lines. Not a fan of this review process. Seriously you should be able to say "I love this movie" or I hate this movie" and not have to write a book.

I usually love Hallmark movies. I'll admit that I'm an absolute sucker for romantic comedies and/or dramas. But this movie is sadly in a class by itself. It is unbearably stupid! It is so awful that I found it difficult to hang in there until the end. To begin with, I just could not relate to the female protagonist in any way, shape or form. She was supposed to be adorable with her phony perpetual grin. I found her to be a vacuous bimbo who really got on my nerves. Her mother was another unappealing and totally annoying character. The cowboy thought he was "too cool for school"; I did not find his character to be sympathetic or attractive in the least. I actually found myself feeling sorry for the "workaholic" boyfriend who you were obviously supposed to hate because he was responsible and had the work ethic. Not everyone has the luxury of dropping everything and celebrating Christmas on the day (doctors, for example). In summary, I recommend doing yourself a favor and skipping this ridiculous Hallmark movie! There are lots of cute Christmas movies out there. This unfortunately is not one of them.

I know it's a Hallmark movie, and I usually enjoy them, but One Starry Christmas is just painful to watch. Girl and boy in a relationship. girl wants to get married, boy is procrastinating. Girl goes on trip to surprise boyfriend, but meets Cowboy. (Cowboy has painful acting skills with an even worse fake accent.)Girl and Cowboy have some really boring cliché Christmas adventures, boyfriend gets jealous when he suspects she's moving away from him. --If the acting couldn't get any worse, insert the parents of the girl... Saccharine sweet, corny, too many face lifts mother, is just about as annoying as annoying gets. The "perfect" family is so distracting that I can't even focus on the movie at this point. ~Cowboy has brother that has a great set of pipes and sings a beautiful song at the dinner table. (That is probably the only redeeming value in the movie) Bad accent cowboy teaches New Yorkers how to miraculously line dance in just one, 2 minute lesson, and they're all urban Cowboys now!Shockingly, the boy and girl break up, and girl rides off with bad accent cowboy. The end.
