Un Noël mémorable

I truly enjoyed watching this movie. I liked the premise, I liked the chemistry between leads, and it's always nice to see Brenda Crichlow... she's very likeable and I think she's a good actress. Everything about this movie warmed my heart from the kids to the cabin to the artist/painter who stops in for dinner all the time lol. I thought MS and CM did a great job together! Well done to all involved.

Loved this movie - for the third time.

Favorite line - Paula: "Brad is your boyfriend." Maggie: "I don't think so."

One thing many of these romances miss is enough interaction between the leads. It's not easy to show believable relationship building, but the scripts which try, and which get it right, are a cut above the rest.

This one tried and hit a home run.

Cameron Mathison always plays well as a guy "who has it together". Here he and his kids find a woman who's wandering on the highway after a wreck, and she's lost her memory. She's stuck with them during a blizzard (yes, contrived but it keeps the characters in the same place).

"Jennifer's" identity remains a mystery to "John" and the small town he lives near. In the meantime she melds into the family as the romance builds.

We watch this one every year. Highly recommended.

I have to admit I'm a sucker for these movies. I recorded them and then we watch at our (retired) convenience. Then I delete them after watching. Not so with this one. It's actually still there and we watched it a couple more times. This is a step above the rest of the Hallmark movies. The story was simple, and only a couple of small plot holes but overall quite good. It was well acted in as much of a minimalist way as is possible with the genre. We love ALL the characters from kids to sports writer who gave us a couple of chuckles as well as face palms. It's one we wished it was to be a hour longer to expand on all the characters.

This is a really endearing Hallmark Christmas Movie, at least the middle and ending 2/3s of the movie. I almost stopped watching before I got to that part, but I'm glad that I stayed with it.
