I like both of the main actors, but they had no chemistry together and the story just fell flat. They just didn't work together. Also, I'm not sure what they were thinking with her hair. Hallmark is normally good with hair, makeup, and wardrobe, but her hair was atrocious (both the bangs and the dark color around her face). It was actually a distraction. Unlike her other movie that I watch every year, I was just glad to get this one over with. I won't be watching it again. The mother and her new friend had chemistry. It's too bad they didn't focus more of the movie on them. They paired well together.
This story has many of the common elements of Christmas movies. Sara returns home to help mom move but brings work. She encounters her ex from high school and theirs was an ugly breakup. Their animosity melts away magically and they work on a Christmas concert.
The deeper theme of the movie is life changing choices and the regrets that come years later. This is another pretty common theme, but for me, this movie captured those emotions and dealt with them. There are no great highs or lows. There is one surprise that I don't think was foreshadowed at all.
There are some nice Christmas songs by members of the cast. Shenae Grimes-Beech has the best voice of the group.
The acting is good. The dialogue is good. There is good chemistry between the leads.

I'm retired now, but I made my living as a musician and nothing bugs me more than actor portrayals of musicians. They look ridiculous.
In this case there really wasn't much to sing about.
Also, I moved last year at Christmas, and there was nary a Christmas decoration to be seen as I'd just have to pack them up again.
Ok, enough venting.
This movie involves a former musician New York lawyer who goes home at Christmas and runs into old flame/musical partner who is putting on a Christmas show using local talent. She ends up spending way more time helping him than her mother, but fortunately there is a ruggedly handsome carpenter in the condo next door.
Not much of a plot, really, and the big ending pretty much fizzled too.
Five.

About as typical as a hallmark Christmas movie can be. Charge the two mains did an excellent job at conveying their characters. The biggest problem I had with this entire movie was the fact that the mother couldn't sing to save her life and couldn't carry a tune if you put a handle on it. I think another reviewer said it best. This movie would've been much better if it ended with the two main characters singing that final song instead of bringing the mother up on stage. Really killed the entire mood and flow of the movie every time that woman opened her mouth to sing. Out of tune and pitch is being nice.
Compared to all movies: 6.3. Compared to Hallmark movies: 8.0.
On my journey with Hallmark, this was maybe my 4th or 5th movie this year, of MANY. I plan on watching a hundred before end of the year.
Warning: some spoilers, but not really, I mean all the Hallmark plots are basically the same: girl gets guy, or girl loses guy, gets him back. Also this review is not as polished as many, because while I want to review all 100+, I won't nearly have the time for it, so it's just off the cuff, rough draft, one and done - press enter - sent.
This movie made me smile a few times. The lead female is cute, seen her in 90210 years back, so she's a decent player, a great actress, and I enjoy her personality. She brings a lot of that to the screen. I can't imagine many movies being boring with her as a lead, and I wish she was more prolific these days, but it looks like she's been silent for years.
The male is rough, and likable. What I really love about him is his raw anger and bitterness for the first 30 minutes, then things start to change as their "unbreakable and everlasting" bond (which was destroyed in a moment of youthful ignorance) renews itself. I sure wish life was always like that: rekindling a long dead and buried love, like a dead flower, simply pour some magic water, and sprinkle some fertilizer and *poof*
I enjoyed the movie overall. It contains a good message: help the kids, focus on important stuff, and put all relationships on the back burner... she didn't even see her mom as much as she should've, you can read between the lines. And the mystery behind the man - we never know what that's about. Did he make it in Nashville or not? If so, why hasn't anyone heard of him? I guess she was his muse.
There is a parallel romance with her mother that is nice, and her guy is a likable blue collar fella. Mom sings, and her voice is "interesting", not bad, just different.
Entertainment value: this is good enough to watch to the end, which was decent by the way. Nice to have a good ending. The actors are cute and funny, and have developed personalities so I recommend this, however after I've seen 15 or so, this movie might not be in the top 10.
