I've liked Trevor Donovan in a number of Hallmark movies, but this movie was boring and terribly derivative. How many Hallmark movies have a cold hearted developer show up to destroy a charming local site? Whether it's an Inn, a store, a park, a tree, or whatever. It's well into the double digits. This was just bad.

One more take on the " a mean developer wants to tear down my store" plot. This time, the victim is a little over-reactive and the developer not so mean, after all. In the end, predictably, everybody is nice, as Christmas time should dictate. No real thrills and no real magic. On the good side, the narrative flows well, the actors are good and the final product is clean and uplifting. So, not a memorable entry, yet a reasonable choice for spending an evening in this Christmas season.

I watched this based on Sarah power being one of the leads. I love her in Good Witch. I liked how it dealt with a few real world issues and families of divorce. And I loved Molly. She is so sweet and liked her acting! I'm going to see if she's in anything else! And bring me more Sarah! Love her!!

Do not play a typical Hallmark drinking game with this one if you're going to drink every time you hear the little girls name. It WINK and it's said so many times it has totally distracted us from the actual movie, which is typical.

5/10 - Hallmark movies are known for the warm sense of familiarity that they bring but this one was a bit too heavy handed with the familiarity with absolutely no originality and it ended up being rather bland.
