I almost never leave reviews, but this is one that I couldn't leave without comment: Those strings doing nothing but straight beats- Why did this happen at least twice? (I'm not rewatching to double check) It gave a tension that was out of place in a Christmas movie and the specific scenes.
I know what I'm getting myself into when I start a Hallmark Christmas movie, but I at least expect for the background to stay in the background! Most of the time, background music is forgettable for me, but not in this one, and certainly not for good reason.
And the final scene was the worst of all! What was in the fire? Pop Rocks? It was the loudest fire I've ever heard!
