Romance secrète à Noël

It wasn't bad, but the main character did become tedious to watch and horrible to LISTEN to. Where does Hallmark find these actresses who have voices like chipmunks? My 11 yr old granddaughter has a more mature voice. Makes it hard to take the movie seriously. She is supposed to hold a position of seniority as a career, yet she acts like a child. Ridiculous.

The story line was okay, although I found myself skipping forward to get through her absurd dates and vacuous search for Mr. Right among old boyfriends. I finally just zoomed to the ending. There are good actors in the movie that give good performances, but I just wanted to drown the main character to shut her up.

this is my first ever IMDb review.

i am not going to break this film down. i am not going to critique the film. nor the acting, nor the directing. i am just going to say that this is absolutely the best hallmark holiday movie yet. not even close...and i watch them all...repeatedly during the holiday season. (a guilty pleasure) i couldn't tell you how many times i laughed out loud, how touching the ending was ...all i can tell you is if you have the chance and the time, you will not be disappointed.

well done to the cast and crew.

merry Christmas!

BEWARE OF BOGUS REVIEWS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY REVIEW ONE FILM. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THAT PRODUCTION. NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 Christmas MOVIES. I HAVE NO AGENDA. I AM FARE ABOUT THESE FILMS.

A woman (Meredith Hagner)is getting the 12 Days of Christmas gifts by a mystery man. These gifts are coming while she is at her visiting parents home while planning her sisters Christmas Wedding. Just before her arrival she was dumped by her boyfriend a man she thought was going to purpose to her.

As a hopeless romantic who can't ever seem to give a guy a real chance begins receiving each of the "12 Days of Christmas" as gifts anonymously at her door. As she tries to figure out who is sending the gifts, she begins to believe that the mystery suitor could finally live up to her expectations.

What was nice about this film was it is not mean spirited. The main cast are people you do like from the beginning. Yes you can see what's coming but so what. Meredith Hagner is such a joy to watch that she elevates this very simple story.

Watch and Enjoy

I loved this film. Meredith and Bobby and the whole crew are the best actors I've seen to date on a hallmark movie. They are very believable in their roles. Meredith is so bubbly and appealing. They are all so good together and it is such a fun movie... my husband loves these hallmark movies and this is the only one I don't mind watching repeatedly. Lots of quirky humor in this. Funny remarks and one liners Amost a musical The gifts are entertaining and it's fun to pick them out in different places in the movie. Surprise ending, but also a few surprise endings. The story line was really pretty clever and something a little different than the average story. And Bobby is a great dancer!

I try to watch all of the Hallmark movies. There are very few I haven't seen. I watch them all in hopes of stumbling upon another Moonlight Masquerade, Holiday in Handcuffs, Straight from the Heart, My Fake Fiancée, A Family Thanksgiving, or Gift Wrapped Christmas. It's almost a game with me. These are some of my favorites off the top of my head, and let me tell you, Hallmances that I would re-watch are few and far between. It's no coincidence that my favorites usually feature talented actresses, usually with a flair for comedy, in the title roles: Teri Polo, Daphne Zuniga, and Melissa Joan Hart. Now, I will also add Meredith Hagner to the list. Her sprightly presence is not the only reason this movie succeeds, but it is an important factor. To that I will add a very appealing male lead, good writing (funny situations, dialogue, a few heart-tugs, and a twist even I did not see coming) and an older fan-favorite as an anchor: in this case, Gregory Harrison. Every once in a while, there is a perfect storm of actors, writing, and directing that makes my mission to at least give all of the Hallmark movies a chance, worthwhile. Why doesn't it happen more often?

**Updated 11/16/2017**sad to say, it looks like Meredith Hagner has moved on from Hallmark. I hope I am wrong, but I guess she was just too good to become a regular.
