Was looking forward to seeing this,despite it being a Lifetime production.

Unfortunately it fell short in some aspects,also curious on accuracy versus dramatic purposes.

It was hard caring for the main people,Nichole came across basically unlikable than a heroic nurse or wife & mom.

Acting to actors chosen,was ok & cinematography decent.. Happy Lifetime didn't use the standard handful,of actors like in previous movies.

Actually wonder if another actress might of made Nichole,seem more of a nurse with personality or something.

For Lifetime they actually made the fire look more realistic,than with past CGI type effects.

It's horrible what happened to the town,families & their over livelihood.. My review is based off how Lifetime presented things,has me curious how the actual people involved felt after this aired.

Worth checking out,but feel could of been told better.

Watched this a few times & always feel bothered,with the way Stephanie is portrayed.. Does being a business women for her father's company,also mean she's entitled to be unpleasant or downright rude.

Also she always plays the same type part,never a mom who is married or getting married- Always about career,feeling she's better than anyone & so forth. Thought she is a conservative type Christian,hypocritical much?

She acts now like Hallmark was the sinner network,after going to GAF which is rather twisted-Nobody forced her to act or choose roles,therefore don't cry foul now. Ugh!

Anyway,very cliched type storyline as mentioned can find this in tons of other Holiday movies.

Kind of glad she left Hallmark because it felt like the CCB network,which becomes boring if it's always the same recycled actors.

Did Natalie forgot how to act,felt so annoying or wooden.. Unfortunately you learn to not expect much,in Hallmark movies these days.

Was a boring story & didn't really feel just because it was all decorated for Christmas,that it had that magical type of charm.. Obviously not every story needs to be a cheery topic,but it really should make you feel something.

The music during several scenes always felt overwhelming,as though it was pushing the narrative in that scene.

Such a clichéd movie & the leads chemistry just was awkward,he didn't come across right or something when talking & them having anything together felt out of touch.. Hallmark made the daughter sound like she was challenged & although dyslexia can be complicated,was just oddly handled too.

Overall the actors chosen to acting was,very average & cinematography was decently done.

Will not make a rewatch list,instead will be watching better holiday ones.
