Write Before Christmas

Jessica sends five letters to people who had any kind of influence in her life. Those letter somehow affect their lives for the better, including her own. Original and beautiful premise, which was well developed.

I had low expectations for this one, and I'm glad I did. Torrey DeVito and Chad Michael Murray had great chemistry. And Drew Selley, that's a face I haven't seen in a while, it was a nice surprise.

It kind of reminds you of Love, Actually, different stories but all of them connected. I'm glad Hallmark gives us, even if it's once in a while, something different than the predictable movies we get all the time.

This is a well-intentioned break from the Hallmark tradition in that it sprawls beyond the network's predictable and cloying formula to focus on several couples - and, if you can believe it, a further subplot that doesn't involve romance at all. That said, any one of these storylines could have fueled an entire film, and if you know how sketchily drawn the average Hallmark movie's characters are, imagine how little you'd get to know about them if you multiplied by four. Obviously, this entry is overplotted and bursting at the seams, even more so because the screen time between plots is uneven, so some characters are allotted only a small handful of scenes with which to register. Some actors look alike (is it Jax or is it Luke?), which often makes it challenging to register which subplot we're in. The seasonal charm is there, and the performances are true, but the end result is a hodgepodge embarrassment of riches. That said, it's encouraging to see Hallmark finally starting to expand its horizons in terms of scope and formula.

A positive story about sharing and concern for folks. We need a little more of that today. Enjoy a nice, feel good movie.

Lots of familiar TV faces populate this Christmas movie. Feel like there's more than 1 movie going on at a time. Torrey DeVitto shows her skills playing the cello. She sends cards to a variety of people in her life. Chad Michael Murray plays her love interest.

A profound charming Christmas romance , so different, for structure, performances and ...cards/ dog by many other Hallmark films of genre. It is comfortable, sweet, nice and just useful for discover the importance of family and messages and gifts. So, more than nice.
