It's Christmas, Eve

I actually enjoyed this movie, despite Leann Rimes showing the emotional range of a Christmas stocking. The music was enjoyable and catchy, and Liam and Abby were extremely likable characters. Typical Hallmark fare, and though Rimes' lack of acting ability was distracting at times (was the film's budget so low that they couldn't afford eyedrops to at least show a tear or two during those sobs at the end?) it still made me feel the warm fuzzies. I'd recommend it, especially to those who are addicted to these types of movies during this time of year.

Eve Morgan, is a school superintendent whose next job is in her hometown. Her neighbour, Liam, happens to be the music teacher in the high school and head of the Christmas show. Having herself a musical past, but having no other choice she decides to shut down the music and art program. After spending time with Liam, and this case hitting close to home they both find another solution to their problem.

I was a little hesitant about this movie: I saw Tyler in another movie a few days ago and I wasn't convinced and I honestly didn't know anything about LeAnn. I'm so happy I decided to give this movie a chance. I got hooked from the very first moment. The chemistry between the actors was amazing.

We see development in Eve's character, we see her bonding with Liam and his daughter (who is adorable, by the way), and even her mother and step-father. It was all about her. It was a pretty typical Christmas movie, however, the last 15 minutes of the movie, were making me feel all kinds of things.

Definitely above average.

6/10 - filled with bad acting, but an okay storyline

I have just finished my fourth viewing of this motion picture, and have to say this is one of the best Hallmark Christmas movies ever made. I found no fault with any part of this movie. Great acting, great story, and for once great music. my score 10....

I'm not big on the more music focused Hallmark movies and I always have very low expectations of singers acting but I was very pleasantly surprised by this. Leann Rimes' acting was a bit stiff but definitely much better than I had thought it would be, and the music in the movie wasn't too much. All in all a solid Hallmark Christmas movie.
