Christmas Pen Pals

The experience of Niall Matter in Christmas Halmark films, , the admirable work of Michael Gross as Ted, the atmosfere and, of course, the frame of letters are the secret ingredients making this film just special. Yes,it is a Halmark. But a profound charming one because, în fair and wise way, r,eminds the essential significance of people off line connections and sure, the rules of romance.

Really enjoyed this movie and thought the story played out well. Great acting by all but in particular Michael Gross made the father seem so natural and warm. Well done Hallmark.

The acting in this one was strong, especially on the male side with Niall Matter and a surprise appearance by Michael Gross. It took me awhile to warm up to Sarah Drew whom I am unfamiliar with but I did not dislike her by the end. The supporting characters, especially on the female side were very good.

Writing was better then average. Yes as usual with these movies much was already telegraphed 15 minutes in but there were quite a number of moments that brought a smile to the face. As with all these movies you have to overlook all the plotholes and make assumptions about the resolution of many secondary stories which is a bit unfortunate as several of the secondary characters had a nice way about them.

This Christmas movie is my favorite this year. Love the chemistry between Sam and Hannah. Story line is adorable and old fashioned. Perfect for the season.

I thought the story was so cute. Loved the old fashioned letter writing with a mix of new technology too - great message underlying a super cute story. Also, emotional! Hit close to home in a couple spots - the writing and acting combined really made me feel connected to the characters and invested in their story. A perfect Christmas love story!
