Christmas Around the Corner

I grew up with lifetime movies and to say this movie exceeded my expectations is an understatement. Wonderful acting, cute story. Worth the watch!

It's a very good Christmas movie with amazing female lead, my God she's so beautiful with great acting skills. The story is average like all Christmas movie, but the performances of the cast was great. So yeah it's a good movie. Have free time give it a shot.. Rating is 8/10

I was happily surprised with this Hallmark movie. It turned out very well, and the acting was superb. This one is worth seeing!

Ably directed with flair and warmth by the famous for Anne of Green Gables Megan Follows, this Hallmarkesque entry is why I slog through dozens of hallmark dreck every Christmas: to get to ones like this. Even without the added gift of the award winning and still luminous Jane Alexander, this one would shine. Alexandra Breckenridge as Claire was lovely and gave a charming performance. She was so very likable. The only weak spot was the actor they cast as her love interest. He brought nothing special to the role whatsoever. Plus, to me, he was not attractive. The romance was not believable. Why would a probably 6 figure venture capitalist give up her life to run a bookstore unless the guy that came with the deal was truly special? Plus, his character was very whiney and unreasonable. I would have given this heartwarming tale a 9 or a 10 if the casting had been a bit better there. Icing on the cake was the church aspect with the (I'm guessing) Episcopal priest married to his same sex partner. Great to have a gay marriage so directly addressed.

I enjoyed most of the movie until the gay priest with a baby. That's fine that they had a gay couple, but it's really pushing the limit when it's a priest.
