Standard Hallmark Christmas movie fare, feel good, sweet romance, family stuff, you don't have to think too hard, nobody gets murdered. Here a woman with a successful boyfriend - who leaves her alone for the holidays -finds the sparks a-flying with the handsome cowboy she's been seated next to on the bus trip home to her parents. Their unexpected encounter makes her contemplate weather she longs for safety or adventure.
This was cute, not so much a Christmas movie more a romance centered around Christmas as an afterthought or reason for them to meet. Damon Runyan as Luke Shelton was sure pretty and made this worth a watch. I also enjoyed Canadian country singer George Canyon as his brother Bull.

I fundamentally agree with all the negative comments made in the reviews and posts about this movie. The plot is ridiculous. The Characters are idiotic. To call the movie 1 dimensional over states it depth. The misspelling of congratulations is classic. The girl falling for the cowboy who understands her with whom she has NOTHING in common. The jerk of the guy who wants to marry her. Everyone, everyone, knows how it is going to end. (I do admit there was one good twist on that, the only original thought in the movie).
However, I do say that I enjoyed it the first time I watched it. It is a sappy Christmas movie. If you can laugh at all the stupidity you will enjoy it. It has some cute scenes and the characters are kind of cute in their own way. If you expect Casablanca, it is not here. But if you want to watch a Christmas movie and have literally nothing better to do, you might enjoy.

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.

I'm pretty well done with country Christmas movies and have been for years. I checked this one b/c I recognized Sarah Carter from Shark and was curious. It's a really cute, feel-good movie with lots of chuckles and a memorable song (sung by George Canyon) too. The parents (Neil Crone and Kathleen Laskey) are excellent. I really liked this movie and saved it to watch again.
