A Christmas to Remember

This is a really endearing Hallmark Christmas Movie, at least the middle and ending 2/3s of the movie. I almost stopped watching before I got to that part, but I'm glad that I stayed with it.

One thing many of these romances miss is enough interaction between the leads. It's not easy to show believable relationship building, but the scripts which try, and which get it right, are a cut above the rest.

This one tried and hit a home run.

Cameron Mathison always plays well as a guy "who has it together". Here he and his kids find a woman who's wandering on the highway after a wreck, and she's lost her memory. She's stuck with them during a blizzard (yes, contrived but it keeps the characters in the same place).

"Jennifer's" identity remains a mystery to "John" and the small town he lives near. In the meantime she melds into the family as the romance builds.

We watch this one every year. Highly recommended.

The first and only review of this movie a month ago was so bad I decided not to watch it. Then I decided that since I liked the plot summary so much I would watch it. I'm so glad I did. I loved it. It was a well done Happy to watch movie. Mira Sovino in the lead reminds me so much of a Mrs Walton/Mrs Ingles and Sandra Bullock with her smile and mannerisms. Also loved Cameron Matheson in the lead. Now I see there are four more reviews for this movie and they are all great. The lead actor and actress are actually in their late 40's. Recognized the Grampa from the Christmas Lodge. Could have kept watching this movie loved it.

Loved this movie - for the third time.

Favorite line - Paula: "Brad is your boyfriend." Maggie: "I don't think so."

Love this movie. I just read on IMDb that Cameron Mathison just had surgery for kidney cancer. Prayers sent his way.
