Un Natale di ricordi

With so many wonderful Hallmark Christmas movies why did Hallmark chose this one to make into a two parter? Possible Hallmark Movie to make into a Part 2: A Christmas to Remember - there was more story to tell about Jennifer and her new family. A Crown for Christmas-how did Allie adjust or change the crown once she married? And who can not forget Christmas Under Wraps. It begged for more story to see if Lauren made the "discovery" of the real Garland, Alaska. Ho-Ho-Ho.

Yet this okay holiday feature makes it so memorable for another dose of mediocre? Hallmark, please rethink this one.

My so-so reaction lands squarely on Ali Liebert. She delivers lines as if she is being courteous to someone taking a coffee order. She never connects with any of the cast. Scenes without her are heartwarming and real. Peter Porte is very convincing as a guy that real cares. All my stars go to the secondary cast for making the best effort - except the gingerbread house collapsed.

Liebert is a lovely lady just not a leading lady.

Hallmark served up a turkey (and not in a good way) with this one.

Unfortunately, this was a movie whose sequel did more to harm than help. The first movie was charming and sweet, and more significantly, had all of its loose ends very neatly wrapped up. Why Hallmark chose this movie of all of them to continue, I can't understand. The sequel's biggest flaw is that, aside from the same characters and background settings, it has virtually nothing in common with with its predecessor. The plot of the second movie is completely disjointed from the first, focused mainly around the rescue of a rec center that means absolutely nothing to the audience. Not only is this trope horribly overused, but it definitely didn't fit into this sequel.

To make matters worse, whatever chemistry Darcy and Aiden had between them in the first movie has completely evaporated in this one. For the majority of the movie, they seem like little more than friends hanging out rather than a loving couple.

If you enjoyed A Gift to Remember, do yourself a favor and skip the sequel.

Tina Lifford and Dominic Mariche are the basic motives to see this nice Halmark film. Sure, not great surprises, the old recipe, the expected romance but it works real well and this represents the most important thing. And, yes, the story of Young and his book is just a significant virtue.

I watched it with my Mom. It was just as good maybe even better then the first one we loved. Has a great story the movie was on point it was a really good movie. Everyone that likes Hallmark movies will love it.

Darcy and Aiden are magical together in this Hallmark Christmas movie. A year later you still have Chaucer's book store, their wonderful friends Luigi and Mrs. Henley, and Bailey the dog. In this movie, they try to save a historic landmark. Darcy and Aiden are so cute together and are so enjoyable to watch. I would have liked a different story line other than the Christmas Village gift...maybe something about surprising Darcy his "real" Christmas gift. All the actors are charismatic and made this a memorable Christmas movie.
