Should one approach this movie with a critical mind, there are lots of inconsistencies and the psychology of the characters would reveal quite flawed. Despite the background of the action, it is not a real Christmas movie. It would, rather, fall in the category of lukewarm romance. Happily, the story is reasonably fresh and the main characters likeable. What's more, it is one of the least offensive Lifetime productions of this season. Chance is a kind young woman who lives in her own world, mostly the past, somewhat defenseless in an evolving society. Yet, this is what makes her endearing. William is, perhaps, too soft as a dynamic, successful businessman. It is hard to comprehend the incredible lengths he goes, to propose to his model-girlfriend, who is clearly too absorbed in her ambitions to even consider a commitment. While this shows him clueless, it also proves he is a decent person whose heart is in the right place. It is almost unnerving to see him persist till the end on a misplaced pursuit, unable to see what is in front of his eyes. I guess the need for drama overcame logic, in the production. All said, the movie has some wit and good moments, the feelings are nice, and the predictable ending is appropriate for a show that wants to be no more than a gentle romantic tale.
