Love You Like Christmas

This movie has no big surprises or twists, but it is a very sweet romantic story.

Brennan Elliot does a really good job in this movie. Not too much and not too little. The character of Jo adds a special sweetness.

It is a nice, steady romantic story where the love Maddie develops for the community is just as much as her love for Kevin.

...this is a feel good Christmas movie. Love Brennan Elliott, no matter what he's in. His acting is natural, guy next door type that makes one feel you've known him forever. Loved the dog and the young girl.

I'm from Argentina so during Christmas time - which is not a huge thing as it it in the US - it's summer in my country, luckily i've spent the last 6 years in the US during that time and it's movies like this that make me appreciate every journey even more.

Christmas is such a special thing and this movie translates exactly that feeling. It is truly magical.

Yet this movie is everything we know about Hallmark. The plot was good, there were a few lines which were amazing - as in make me laugh for real, amazing - the characters were lovely, and so was the soundtrack. It's the very first time I notice the soundtrack.

It's indeed a very beautiful movie, and it's the perfect one to enjoy on Christmas time. It will be even more special.

There is only one review as I write this and it misses the mark. This is an excellent happy movie. The lead actress Bonnie Sommerville is actually 42 yrs old and really reminds me of Stephanie Zimbalist in "The Story Lady" (this is a good thing). She absolutely carries the movie and interacts great with the supporting cast. Brennan Elliot plays the lead actor and it is just perfect. This movie is a home run. Kept my interest the whole time.

This movie had the little touches that made it memorable. Loved when they ask the ex-encyclopedia salesman who memorized the "A" volume to define "Angel". He touches the little girls nose and says "that's easy, it is a picture of you". That was sweet. Love when Brennan Elliot says "That reindeer cost me a lot". The diner scenes were great as well. Yes the movie started in New York City, but most of it was in Ohio. Enjoy it.

I've seen quite a few Hallmark Christmas movies and most are schmaltzy, contrived and overly clichéd. This one feels different. It flows really well, with an outstanding lead in Bonnie Sommerville. She looks gorgeous, has a radiant smile and an easy-going natural acting ability which cuts through most of the clichés ! It feels like a Christmas version of "Doc Hollywood", although Bonnie plays a New York advertising exec who breaks down in Christmas Valley, Ohio. She meets Kevin ( a good job from Brennan Eliot) , who's a widower with a daughter & owns a Christmas tree farm which is on hard times. The supporting cast are great and the singing mechanic has a good voice too ! All in all, it's way better than most of the rest, so relax & enjoy !
