Una promessa per Natale

7/10 - one of the better Hallmark Christmas movies this year has good actors and a heart-wrenching, original storyline

Slightly different and very close to my heart as a story. Beautifully told and all the actors are wonderful. Left me in tears (of happiness). Well worth a watch - a delight.

One reviewer stated there was a goof with the dog not aging after a year had passed. Totally wrong..the bit in the court showed a flash back of them having a photo taken the Christmas before so the dog would have still been a puppy. The next bit carries on the year later when the dog is shown as brown. Wish people who state there are goofs watched the film properly.

This is a lovely heart warming and at times tearful, but one of the best Hallmark films. I've watched it twice now.

I like it ! Was the fair conclusion after the final scene. First, for nice exploration of sensitive themes, from the single mother affected by cancer to the foster care volunteers and the orphans looking for a home, from the stranger in town and the eccentric investment to the love for books and the remind of children literature classics , from the not happy financial situation of public libraries to the hard work for a dream becoming true and the fall to have the desired job.

The romance is nice and few scenes just forced, but the small dog, the girls and the good atmosphere are good points of a film who has the courage - and some succes- be different by the so familiar Hallmark Christmas films.

Awesomesauce! There were definitely some things that are not realistic, but it's a movie about libraries & a bookmobile - so we'll just ignore those things.

Make sure you have tissues, I knew what was coming as soon as the mother passed out the first tim.

Bonus points for Broadway actor Jeremy Jordan.

Cute if you can suspend belief!
