Love You Like Christmas

Although he looks like my weird friend Kevin, I actually find Brennan Elliot very attractive in this film. The leading female however? I can see why Ross dumped her in "Friends". She's quite annoying. Having said that, I think it very rude that everybody tells her that she shouldn't be available to answer her phone so much to her boss. This happens with a lot of these "City girl goes to a small town for Christmas" films. They can't know the pressure that she's under and shouldn't make judgements like that. It paints them as bad people and it's just not fair. It would be nice if she actually ate one of the omelettes she orders though.

Another cute romance and lots of festive fun to be had, but it doesn't win the best film ever award coming in somewhere a lot further down.

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.

While formulaic a very enjoyable movie. Woman in the add business gets stranded in Christmas loving town with car breakdown. Woman is embraced by town and meets handsome single dad. Single Dad and child fall head over heels for stranded woman. Stranded woman tries to help save the family tree farm. Will she do it? Boss, back in the big city threatens to fire woman if she doesn't make it back to do the big presentation in time. Many tears are shed as woman finally weaves her way back to the city..will she choose her job or the ready made family back in Christmasville?? What do you think. Liked it, worth a watch!

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.
