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
Sexy looking guy as a main character, with pleasant looking female lead as well as their two good looking female assistants. Light, fluffy movie was fun to watch for the first time & again for a second time.
Fortunately I have not read the book and judging by the other reviews about this story it has much more depth than the film which it is supposed to be based around. I found the film a shallow, contrived confection of bad writing, zero chemistry between the two leads and some dodgy sets (and snow).I have seen both of the lead actors in other roles where they have been convincing and real. Jaime in the Bulletproof Monk (was a brunette and a much better colour for her skin tone) and Luke in the TV series Killjoys.I think if you are looking for a predictable love story that ticks some of the boxes, and you're female (no way any red blooded male would entertain watching this!!) then give it a go.Can't quite understand how these scripts get funding when there are so many talented writers out there with better stories/characters and plot lines etc.The quality of TV movies needs improving, we've already seen how compelling the likes of Game of Thrones has been and they are based on books. I challenge Hallmark to take a chance, step outside of your comfort zone, it could make all the difference!!
Yes, the plot is different than the book, but for me that's a good thing. The movie tells the story of two very awkward, lonely people who find each other and create a safe space for themselves as they make peace with who they are. While not as "deep" as the book, it's far more approachable for the majority of people, and is 100 percent certain not to traumatize you in what you thought was the middle of a pleasant Christmas story (which happens to some people with the book, as you can see when you check it out on Goodreads). If you're a fan of the book, this probably isn't for you. But if you like sweet, heartfelt Christmas movies, please give it a try.
