Sadly Over-hyped

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

This was one of the better Hallmark Christmas movies I've seen. Normally, I don't care for them, but this one really stuck with me. I highly enjoyed it & well casted. I hope you give it a chance! Wait, it's a book too? :o

My wife and I watched some of this movie last night. It was part of Hallmark's bizarre Christmas in July series. To be honest, we had this movie on in the background while we were doing other things. At one point, we both left the room to play with our daughter for about half an hour, and we left this movie on while we were gone. I think we watched a total of 20 minutes of this movie. We were a little miffed that Lacy Chabert was not in this movie, but my wife's anger was somewhat placated by the presence of Jaime King. My wife told me that Jaime King is part of Taylor Swift's "girl squad". I don't know what a girl squad is, but it sounds scary. Taylor Swift, according to my wife, is pretty washed up, so that begs the question: if you are a has- been, as Taylor Swift is at this moment, how can you possibly sustain a "squad"? I hope Taylor Swift puts out another album so that she is not abandoned by her squad, turns to drugs and prostitution, begins murdering endangered species for their pelts, and then spends the rest of her life in prison.I'm not entirely sure what happened in the Mistletoe Promise. At the end, Jaime King was kissing someone, and I assume that she wasn't kissing the villain of the movie. So I highly recommend this movie either in July or during the Christmas season. If not for your own enjoyment, then at least watch it to save Taylor Swift's life.

The book is well written and tells a beautiful story of forgiveness. It is so much more engaging than this fluffy movie that really has no story other than a romance. Highly recommend reading the book and skipping the movie. I understand creative lead way but Hallmark did this book an injustice. The director also made poor choices in turning a story of redemption into a comedy. I love that Hallmark does feel good movies. However, they tend to be far from reality and border on fantasy. This story does have sadness (in the book) but Hallmark could have done a better interpretation without making it too much of a drama because it has a happy ending. Lastly the acting was meh!

Hallmark films these types of movies - year in and year out - and promises that you will get what you expect. Cute actors, predictable plots, no great special effects (SPOILER ALERT- filmed in British Columbia -Vancouver specifically- a city that doesn't get snow) - so the special effects here is fake snow everywhere. If you want drama - go elsewhere-if you want a watchable hour and a half - well, that is what Hallmark offers. And delivers! I look forward to each year's Christmas fare,and really have never been disappointed, this is my official precursor to the Christmas season. I think that Hallmark has a formula - that works- taking actors - that are usually the number three or four spot (the odd time number two) - on a list of performers in any given TV show,sometimes movies - and giving them a main - co-number one position in their movies. I always just seem to remember the actors and ALWAYS come here to IMDb and look up where I have seen them before. To me - all part of the Hallmark experience.
