Watching it was like a gift from Santa. All positive vibes.... with sweet simple story, brought back the old memories.

The actors were all wonderful in their own lane but together their chemistry didn't work well which made their acting terrible. It's a christmas movie that does make you feel a little bit warm, but the warmth doesn't succeed as it contains the same story for a lot of movies.

How could you not love a simple love story -lonely children, hard working dad, beautiful help. Forget about picking the storyline to pieces and sit back and enjoy it - it's a Xmas movie! Bring it on.....

I thought this was pretty good, sort of a Sound of Music without the music. I have to admit, when I look at Rebecca Dalton, I think, "Wow!" She's really gorgeous, but she also did a nice job in this movie. I was a little bit thrown by both of the leads being the same race and sexual preference. You don't see that a lot anymore (sarc). It's a slow starter, but it gets better and in the end, it's yet another heart-warming Lifetime Christmas movie. Give it a watch...

It's a Lifetime movie, so my score is relative (we aren't using The Godfather scale here). The first 3/4 of the movie was pretty decent, the writing wasn't horrible, all actors were actually quite good. It's a cheesy Christmas video with zero budget, but the show was making the most of what they had. That is until the turn. All these movies follow the same general formula; two people, one of who is usually in a bad relationship, find each other, but before the soulmates can be together, some contrived plot device causes one to mistakenly reject the other. In the end, the truth is revealed, and true love wins the day. Usually, it's a conniving ex that causes all the trouble, but here, it's quite possibly the dumbest reason in all of Christmas romance TV history. I won't "spoil" it, but either the original writer, who was fairly competent to this point, went completely off the rails, or the script was hacked and butchered by a person who has never set foot in a kitchen, let alone baked a cookie. And who then decided that the main characters suffered temporary brain damage and completely lost their short term memory. I was half expecting the lead to pull some Polaroids out of her pocket so she could remember what happened two minutes prior.... Anyway, had it not been for that horrendous bit of script, this show might have ranked as one of the better low budget Lifetime efforts. As it is, I'm going with a very painful, 6 out of 10.
