Wow! Such a good movie.

Perfectly adorable

Good concept, poorly executed.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Most films begin with loads of titles, stock footage etc, all of which make you want to change channel. Unusually and to its credit, this film hooked me from the beginning with some interesting facts about snowflakes and an introduction into the leading man Tom's work. His job is to research and find the perfect present for the partner of his (clueless) client.Not only is this film entertaining, but there is food for thought in terms of a serious theme. When buying a present for your other half, do you really know enough about them to get them exactly what they want? There are only four principal players in this movie - Jenny, her unreliable boyfriend Paul, Tom and socialite Victoria. Tara Holt is excellent as leading lady Jenny, demonstrating a wide range of emotions, facial expressions and matching body language. When she inevitably kisses Tom (this is Hallmark), it really looks like her heart is racing. When she is upset with Tom, she looks upset. I also liked her boyfriend Paul (Sam Guinan-Nyhart), who ropes his faternity buddy Tom into the job of finding a present for Jenny. Leading man Tom (played by Sam Page) is trying not to get involved with Sarah for professional reasons, which means his chemistry with her is not quite as good as it could be. Victoria (played by Emily Peterson) is comfortable as an attractive socialite who would like to sink her claws into Tom. My favourite scene comes at about 24 minutes when Victoria is telling Jenny and Tom about the history of her old house. This is a piece of unexpected, nicely written script. In the end, Tom does find the perfect present for Jenny, but not something material like a car or jewellry, but is instead something personal to her. The only negative I have is that I found the final scene to be cheesy and over-acted. Overall, one of the better Hallmark Christmas films and will watch again next year.

I enjoyed this movie. I really like Sam Page. This is the first movie I've seen of his but I'll look for others now. I did have a hard time warming up to the character of Jenny. She didn't come across has believable has the head of an organization. But overall I'd watch it again.

This one was really good. The two leads were very likable and I liked their gradual falling in love. The fact that the hero made a living picking out the perfect gift for his clients to give their loved ones was very problematic in many ways, but I just suspended my disbelief for that aspect. This story revolves around a former fraternity brother hiring our hero to pick out a gift for his girlfriend that will "smooth over" some rockiness in their relationship. He was clueless to the max and kind of scary and creepy in his pursuit of his girlfriend. On the one hand, he was worried that she is drifting away from him, but he continues to neglect her, while badgering our hero to hurry up with the perfect gift. Just didn't make much sense. Of course she finds out that all of our hero's interest in her was only research, so her hurt and anger are totally understandable. He did fall in love with her and his interest was sincere, so all is resolved at the end with the presentation of his perfect Christmas Gift. That part was really good, and the last few scenes were amusing as we wrapped up the loose ends with our main couple's former love interests.

The only redeeming thing I can think of with this movie is that a male is the lead character, not a female, so when I first saw this advertised, I was glad to see a different POV, hence my 2 rating instead of 1. However, within the first half hour I was just getting a creepy feeling about this one. First of all, I find it absurd that someone would hire a perfect stranger to buy a loved one a gift. Second, if this is feasible, I don't understand how anyone could make a living out of it, and third, I was feeling this character was more of a stalker than anything else. He followed the female character to her house and had a provocative photo of her on his wall with little post it notes about her likes and dislikes. I don't know. Maybe it was just me but I even watched it again, hoping I had an off night, but no, I felt he was a creepy stalker. I like Sam Page but felt there was no chemistry at all with the female lead. I've enjoyed all the new movies so far on both Hallmark channels, but this one, well, not so much.
