I have been watching Hallmark movies for years and repeatedly, as I find that when you watch a movie more than once, you definitely catch something that you didn't initially. With that said, I recommend to any true Hallmark Movie fan that you watch "One Starry Christmas" it has become one of my favorites. For anyone who believes in following their dreams and trusting your instincts (as hard as that might be because we question ourselves too much), this is the movie for you. Sarah Carter and Damon Runyan do a wonderful job; they must both have believed in the characters they were portraying; otherwise, the roles of Holly and Luke wouldn't feel so real.
Totally cute... No matter how cliché these "sugar water" novels are, here the country soundtrack adds an extra touch, and everything is very cute and pleasant, even though it is totally predictable ... Cute...
I thought this movie was very sweet. You go to Hallmark for 'feel-good & good-clean fun'! Not usually crazy plots, twists, and off your seat surprises!
My family and I have had quite the last few years of health battles. And all seemingly, otherwise, very heathy and strong; even educators or professionals within our given fields, too. From my massive stroke, to my younger sister's breast cancer, to saying goodbye to two of my favorite strong and fierce role models...both of my grandmas; and many more...It's been a wild and scary ride for us all. *Needless to say, I could use a little calm, sweet, Christmas magic, and sure...even perhaps a little predictable.
I liked. And it's these very kind of moments and movies, I look forward to once this time of year. So, enjoy! It's not trying hard or complicated...it's just sweet.

Really enjoyed this one. Interesting storyline situation develops and the characters do a good job bringing it to life.
The movie definitely had some issues that others have addressed -- such as the problem of Chicago versus Texas in the future. Whether the future works out for the two or not, the best thing I took from the movie was it made her admit to what she really wanted -- a relationship more like her parents. Where the spouse or significant other was of major importantance. Making her realize how ridiculous her "boyfriend" was/is is a worthwhile outcome for the movie, whether she ends up with the cowboy or just an awareness of what she really needs and wants.
Seeing how totally inconsiderate the boyfriend is and how totally "unaware" he is of a girl he has supposedly been with for 3 years made it nice to see her break up with him. Would have been even better if she had turned him down in front of the crowd, but her character was apparently too nice to do that -- even though he was NOT too nice to do it in the first place. All these movies tend to have a ridiculous "boyfriend" who is jerk or just not a right fit, but this guy was a complete piece of crap. Everything was about him and what he wanted and when he wanted it. Definitely needed a major smackdown.
