Nothing like a Lacey Chabert movie to warm your heart. It's so easy to fall in love with the couple, the town, the goats and right down to the squeeky "singing sink." It's not upbeat and cheesy, it's more warm and inviting like a cup of hot herbal tea. Its easy to see why this 3 part story was voted a fan favorite. It was not meant to go beyond the first one but when fans urged them for more they gave them what they wanted. If you're focused on what's realistic or accurate you're probably in the wrong place. Much like a Christmas movie, the focus is on the impossible or improbable, but makes you want to forget that and for an hour or two. If there's a matchmaking Santa, a woman who finds a kid's letter asking for a Mom and becomes that, a magical ornament or snow globe, or an angel who turns out to be in a coma who finds her true love, you might giggle or even joke about it (from another perspective-stalkers, people who break into an amnesiac's condo, or emotional cheaters,etc lol) you just don't over-analyze it you just enjoy it for what it is. Why put a limit on the season for a good, clean, likeable story? It's Hallmark! It's the magical land where everyone is an awesome baker and if you're not you're soon to become one. It's literally sweet! If you're anything like me, you don't turn to Hallmark for realism, you turn to it to escape...escape to the land of Hallmark where every town is friendly, every place is beautiful, families are healed and true love can happen in a weekend!
Watch it or don't watch it. That's up to you, but I think this one is worth it. You may even shed a few unexpected tears.
