Uma Entrega para o Natal

Cute story line. Liked the main actors, but perhaps a little TOO much of the misunderstood "he was on a date with another woman" aspect! The child actor was amazing & down to earth sincere! Loved seeing the "Canadian" touch with Charlie wearing a Hudson Bay Striped scarf!! Like to see more of these two actors together, please!

Two people get to know each other remotely, this time not by email, but at first by text and then on the phone. The story goes through all kinds of situations that nearly bring them together but just miss. In fact, they do physically meet early on but don't put the two things together. Each has a sad and difficult loss in their past romantic lives.

The story is charming but lacks significant highs and lows. The story's conflict is mild but threatens to keep them apart. This is Hallmark, so you know how it turns out. Even the resolution is no big thing. Don't get me wrong. It's a sweet story and a decent way to enjoy two hours of TV with your loved one(s).

Eion Bailey and Alvina August, neither of whom I remember seeing before (turns out I've seen him once), develop an easy relationship through communication. Imagine that - a relationship based on communication. Even so, there are a couple of disconnects there. Kesler Talbot does a credible job as the young son.

The very last scene is a nice touch and a pointed message totally apart from the romance story.

This movie was a bit flat on acting in addition to having that predictable story line. It was one we watched without feeling the need to follow every moment.

I looove Eion B. I saw a lot of stuff with him and that's why I watched this one. He's just so yes, sexy :) And here he was so... So grumpy and bored?? He said so many lines like he didn't want to say them. The phone conversations were the best. Alvina is new to me, she was the light of this movie. Really pretty and good with emotions. The chr. Tree moment was really promising and then something was missing. Too bad! And indeed, the final moment when they met, was awkward and too short.

The heroine was charming but the actor that played Josh, the hero, was miscast. First of all he seemed that he did not want to be there. He said his lines in a completely disinterested manner. He was very sexy, don't get me wrong, but he seemed better suited for a western, or an action movie. Very dangerous and swashbuckling. Just didn't seem right for the part of a loving and patient single dad and small town guy. I'd be interested to see if he is cast in any other Hallmark type movies. I'd definitely watch, cuz like I said..... but hope he'd be in one that incorporates his look a little better.
