Coup de foudre sur une mélodie de Noël

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.

Singer LeAnn Rimes is the latest big name to pop up in a Hallmark Christmas film, and based on this I'd welcome her back for a return visit in the future.

It helps that this film has clearly been shaped around her, giving her the chance to sing and that her leading man (Tyler Hines) is able to make even some of the cheesiest lines in the piece seem natural with his dry delivery.

It is though very much a film that follows the Hallmark tried and tested formula, with only the subplot about the mother and her new husband feeling a bit more original.

Ironically for a film constructed around an actual singer the film's big song isn't that great, with Rimes sob/speaking/singing it to the point where actually I couldn't understand what was being sobbed/spoken/sung.

Overall though a decent film.

I enjoyed this movie very much. I absolutely loved the music. Ironically, it's usually the background music in the Hallmark movies that drives me completely bonkers being way too loud and overbearing... but in this movie, LeAnn's voice is beautiful, God blessed her with a very sweet and lovely voice. I found the movie to be very enjoyable, I liked the chemistry between the leads, they were both very good. Well done, I will most likely purchase this movie so I can watch it throughout the year as I painfully wait for Christmas 2019! I will also purchase a few of the sound tracks as well.

LeAnn Rimes is the main star is this Christmas film along with Tyler Hynes.

Rimes is Eve Morgan the interim school superintendent tasked with saving money and Hynes is Liam Bailey music teacher. With art and music funds on the chopping block the two try to find a way to save the curriculum for the students.

The song really is one of the best parts. Tissue alert towards the end. Be prepared!

Worth a watch.

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.
