Welcome to Christmas

When you do twenty plus movies for Christmas some are goind to the filler. This movie is one of the fillers. It was okay, but I did not see the Chemistry between the leads. I thought the plot was overly complicated but did appreciate the twist ( a very little twist) at the end. Though as a business decision that was a really poor one for the company because it could never work. I enjoyed watching it one time this year, but I will not be looking for its return in next year.

I had trouble getting in to this Christmas romance. Gage is a widowed sheriff in the little Colorado town of Christmas. Madison works for a big Denver development company that is looking to put in a large ski resort in one of two towns. Madison tells her boss that she doesn't think Christmas is appropriate for the resort and he makes her take a trip there to thoroughly check it out. Her trip to Christmas doesn't start out well as she crashes her car in to their town sign and meets the sherif all in one swoop. She lets slip to Gabe that her mind is already made up and that there is nothing the town can do to change her mind.

The town, spearheaded by Gabe's aunt Nell, sets out to bring back all of their old Christmas traditions and win Madison over...which they eventually do.

A romance slowly builds between Gabe and Madison and Gabe's two daughters...especially the teenager Annie.

I really like Eric Mabius is his role of in the postables. For some reason I had trouble getting in to this film...I didn't hate it, I just didn't love it.

I love Jennifer Finnegan but this was not her strength. She is not giggly, coy or flirty. Her strong suit is up front and straight forward. No chemistry with actors. And the sisters hair; seriously?

No chemistry between the lead characters or likeability. This movie did not work. please hallmark channel do better then this !!

No one plays blonde better than Jennifer Finnegan. She has an infectious smile. Great smiling eyes. Eric Mabius played his role to perfection. His comedic timing and delivery is unmatched. Use him more. The supporting cast were all believable. Yes, Hallmark makes a lot of movies. Yes, some are better than others. Have you watched Christmas movies on other channels?? You'd think it was any other day of the week. Yep, mushy feel good marshmallow monotony. THANK GOD. still THE best channel on cable. Keep it up Hallmark. I'll keep watching. This is a well written movie, well directed with great photography.
