SIMMER DOWN, FOLKS!!!!

This is simply a, practically scene by scene, copy of "The Family Man" from 2000. And in that version, it was a MAN that ended up seeing what his life would be like with a family instead of a powerful career. Hallmark has done this with other films and it's pretty standard to swap the genders with the movie they copy.

Loved it then liked it.. not sure anymore

I typically love a cheesy Christmas film and the first time I watched it I loved it... I'm a Lacey fan... having watched this again this for about the 4th time I have some issues with its message... it basically tells women they can't be happy unless they have a family and they can't have both a career and a family! I loved the lead man until he basically guilted her in to turning her job down to make sure she stays a stay at home bored mother!!

I liked it

Yes it was cheesy and the exact same story as Family Man but I enjoyed it. One of the better Hallmark films I've seen.

Family for Christmas

I think people have been overly harsh to this film, missing the message completely.

I thought this was a different sort of Hallmark film, and all the better for it.

It helps that it boasts Lacey Chabert in the lead, who can make even the sappiest of material palatable.

With some nice messages and moments this kept us entertained.

Lighten up people!

It's ok

It's probably the best Hallmark film that Lacey Chabert has done. It was obviously cheesy, but it did lack that typical Hallmark feel at parts. I will agree, the chemistry between the leads is lacking, but there's nothing misogynistic about this movie. He was hesitant, but agreed that he would support her and move to the city if that's what she really wanted. She made her own choice to pursue family over a career. It's not a generalization.

Trivia
Flip version of the Nicolas Cage movie, Family Man (2000).

Goofs
(approx. 2 minute mark) When Hanna is saying goodbye to Ben in the airport, there are visible bilingual English/French signs in the background. It is obviously a Canadian, not American, airport.
