The premise of the scavenger hunt is slightly unusual. There is also a hint of random-acts-of-kindness. This latter is the one endearing thing about this movie and there are a few tender moments as a result.

For me, on the down side, there were too many tropes that I'm tired of. Save the town ______ (fill in the blank). If you do what you are assigned to you will get a promotion. Old flames and why-did-you-leave-me. Matchmaking father (or other family and friends). Workaholic current boyfriend. Christmas traditions ticked off like a list (in this case a scavenger hunt list). But all these things are just building blocks for the story, even if most of them are building blocks I'm not thrilled by.

The story was OK, but it didn't really have any highs or lows other than the random acts of kindness. I knew very early on exactly how the major conflict would be resolved, and of course the general course of the story was as predictable as usual in these movies.

This is a Christmas romance movie, so the real question is how appealing are the two potential lovers? By themselves, both Kim Shaw and Kevin McGarry do a fine job and their characters are certainly kind and generous. And the movie gave them plenty of screen time together. The problem is that their time together just didn't grab my enthusiasm. They were worked well together, but I didn't really care if they stayed together.

Even though I didn't think this was a great movie, there was nothing really wrong with it and many viewers, especially Hallmark Christmas enthusiasts, may very well love it.

I randomly watch a hallmark movie. I thought the leads were fine, the premise interesting, and happy to see there was actually snow, not filmed in June with fake snow. Not sure why there were haters on this.

Not one of hallmarks best Christmas movies. Kevin was good but no chemistry with the actress.Enjoy Tom Arnold character also. Storyline just not very interesting - I felt it dragged

Wasn't too bad. Same old plot. Tom Arnold sounded like he had a cold throughout which is a distraction.

Excelllent chemistry between the 2 leads. Low drama but the KINDNESS and GOODNESS is REFRESHING. Plot moves quickly for 90 minutes. Packed storyline. Worth watching more than once.

6/10 - I liked the unique plot points of this Hallmark original

Hate to say this...as a Hallmark Movie fan...but this one was really hard to watch. Not sure what was up with Tom Arnold. He seemed to actually wish he was anywhere but on screen. Lines were rushed and unbelievable. As Bell's dad so so bad. Felt like they hardly even knew each other. Same with Bell and Dustin. Plot was short on story. Anyway can't get that 2 hours back.

This one is better than most of the Hallmark movies as it had an interesting and fun story for a change. The scavenger hunt these was a lot better than the usual tree farm, pumpkin pie contest, etc. Of most movies. Kept my interest to the end.

Ahh it was ok and I liked the scavenger hunt idea. The lead actors were pretty good even though I didn't know them..

Let's see ... girl returns to hometown and rubs into her former boyfriend! Wow! Original plot...

This movie was not good. The lead actors had no chemistry. It's unfortunate - Kim Shaw was good on Saving Hope and her relationships were believable (and there were a few). Kevin ... oh poor Kevin. He's been good in some things and in others - just meh. This one was a meh. I loved him with Becca Tobin, Jana Kramer, and Emilie Ullerup. On Heartland - he's pretty good with Michelle Morgan - but there's also a good supporting cast.

To the reviewer who says the actress is too young for The actor - well ... she is actually almost a year older that he is (she May 1984, he March 1985). There's NO inappropriate age difference.

I am, so far, very disappointed with the 2019 Hallmark Christmas movies. I've seen 1-2 that I've enjoyed . Hallmark needs to start focusing on quality instead of quantity - or they are going to end up with the ridiculous Lifetime, UpTV, and Ion movies: unwatchable, unbelievable, and just plain trash.

Although I had issues with both of the leads and I will always have issues with Tom Arnold, I actually liked the idea of this film and the story was different enough to keep me interested.

Kevin McGarry is obviously hot, but I feel that it's also obvious that he knows it and it comes across in his character as it did in 'Hometown Christmas'. She looked like a seventies school girl and although she's actually a year older than him, I thought she was like, what, 12 or something? And Tom quite clearly had a cold during the making of this film and it really didn't help his already terrible acting abilities or lack thereof.

So it was a surprise that I enjoyed it as much as I did. It's certainly not the best of the bunch, but it has that Christmas feel to it and provides a good moral message throughout.

The only thing I liked about this one was Tom Arnold. Interesting to see him in these mundane roles. At least he held some interest!

Tom Arnold made this almost unwatchable. He sounded like his nose was plugged- did he have a cold during filming?

Aside from that the story was not interesting and the characters were rather cookie cutter.

The two main leads were an attractive couple and I appreciated the actual winter location so I give it a few stars.

I loved it!!! Belinda and Dustin were so cute together and had great chemistry. Tom Arnold as Belinda's father was hilarious. Added so much comedy in such a subtle way. I've watched this at least 4 times so far. One of my favourite Christmas movies now.

6.6 stars.

First time seeing Kim Shaw now on my 115th review of Hallmark Christmas. I will say this about her, she's nicely toned and shapely. I enjoy her acting style it seems genuine, a breath of fresh air compared to many, not in my top 10, but close. That says a lot, because there are a lot of women vying for these coveted roles. Kevin McGarry is good as usual, he's a rugged handsome sort, and his acting style is good too. I think he comes off as very sincere in his roles, and I detect he's pretty high on the hot-o-meter too.

Ok, so what's wrong with this film? There is just an overall lack of high quality overall. The chemistry is average, sets and cinematography are average, music is average. The story is based on a slightly original idea, but it is not quite pulled off as intended. There are some obvious errors, and it was difficult to witness these glaring inconsistencies. There is no way the scavenger hunt ends up the way it did. It was too easy, so it made no sense. I can tell you that if I was in this contest I'd be bored, because no thought was required, so what if I was paired with someone I didn't like? It would be a waste of a day, no fun, no adventure.

The guy had a secret he kept from her all these years. It was an insult. What person in their right mind gives up something so important for that reason? I can say his father would never have accepted it his charity.

If there had been more chemistry, I might add some points, otherwise I got nothing. I might watch this again in 10 years, but I doubt it.

Tom Arnold was horrible in this, just bad acting. Zero chemistry, the game was dumb, and I have seen literally every Hallmark christmas movie. No heartwarming moment, just felt really awkward.

We watch hallmark Christmas movies for the good wholesome story lines. Why do all these people watch if all they are going to say is it's the same ole same ole. Scavenger hunt was a new idea. Tom Arnold was great. The movie is cute. If u want to watch couples cheating on each other or murder then watch the lifetime channel.

This is beginning to be so much fun to keep leaving reviews on movies. And once again, I'm only about what, 5 minutes in and I just didn't understand it. She sees the guy in town, daylight, and they are talking and she goes, I got a long drive ahead of me to get to my dad's house. She gets to the dad's house, and it's like hmm, dark 30. She gets up the next morning and he's there. She drives into town later and it's still daylight. I mean, why did it go from day to night when she went to her father's house, but yet the next day the daylight lasted so long, sze gies in town, stays awhile, then back to her dads house.

I lasted just seven minutes and tried recording and pick up on the movie, just could not do it. Did not like the casting, story, just not good at all. There truly are smany great Hallmark Christmas movies, this was not one of them.

A small-town scavenger hunt gives this Hallmark move the unabashed opportunity to throw in every single Christmassy cliche that you can think of...and probably a few more than you haven't considered.

I'm happy to report that the filmmakers succeed wonderfully in this regard. If you're playing Christmas movie bingo, you're going to go pretty close to winning with 'Christmas Scavenger Hunt'.

A fun film where former flames Belinda (Kim Shaw) and Dustin (Kevin McGarry) are paired up to try and win a scavenger hunt that takes them all over their small town...and makes them confront the past and their growing feelings for each other. McGarry and Shaw are a good pairing, and Tom Arnold (a nasally Tom Arnold, I might add) adds a touch of retro star power as Belinda's dad.

You know what's going to happen. Of course you do - this is a Hallmark movie. If being able to figure out the plot before the first ad break meant you turned it off, you wouldn't get to watch very many of these.

A nice, uncomplicated film.

Let me start with Tom Arnold. He's played one character his entire career. He showed up again in this rom com with no new acting tools. The female lead character looks like she is barely 18; the male lead looks like he is about 35 yet somehow we are to believe they were high school sweethearts. There no chemistry between the two.
