Natal em Springdale

6/10 - another average Hallmark flick, but is slightly less cliché than normal

Good watch. Recommended. The leads have chemistry and the kid actor did a decent job too. Any criticism you may read about the setting or window dressing in this film is inconsequential in my view. It is all about the story and characters you are rooting for. On that basis, Small Town Christmas delivered!

This movie is pretty much what you'd expect given the title and the TV network, Hallmark Movies and Mysteries (although it fits Hallmark Channel better). A small town is the epitome of life and tradition is everything. Yet, despite the predictability, it was done pretty well and the characters are appealing. Kristoffer Polaha kept reminding me of other Christmas movies he has been in . He and Ashley Newbrough had chemistry and add the little girl to make it even better.

I am a Hallmark consumer, and, despite the overall quality being too low and predictable lately, at least for me, I have to say this one had something different. Excellent leads, really great chemistry, well developed story and interesting twists. Go see for yourself, no spoilers. I like to think I understand something about movies and how they are done, and this one delivers some feelings. What can I say, I am an old fashioned young dude from the 90s and this reminded me of good ol comedies.

I love me some Kristoffer Polaha!

Cute enough concept. Too bad they didn't just talk to each other instead of ASSUMING! We all know what happens when you assume!
