This is not bad for lifetime standards but nothing new and follows the same formula and the plot is predictable.
There s no chemistry here.
Its too superficial, everything s fake, too Many white rich problems, like " oh I have to take over my dad s company " (whatttt!!!? , oh Poor little grl) and that guy like ken, its a cartoon,he is a farmer and he never works and he doesn t have any money issues, thats weird right?
The mom s principal interest is that the main character has to get marry, hello its 1980 knocking the door? Come on!!!! We deserve better.
Also, there s no black actors anywhere....where s this place? The supreme court ?
I know that its a stereotype movie but this is too much, even for Hallmark kind ir movie.
Do not waste your time.
Cheers.

I really enjoyed this movie up until the Cinderella boots story line. Why was this part of the movie? She knew what he looked like. They kissed the previous scene and why would the guys in the town line up to try on his old boots? Makes no sense to me. The best part was Meghan Hilty what a talented actress. More movie roles for her.
Loved that line. There were a few good ones and some other good dialogue. The story had a lot of the usual things and in many ways was predictable. But there were something interesting things as well. The boots idea was simultaneously lame, kind of sweet, and unique in the way it was incorporated.
The acting was good. Megan Hilty and Noah Mills had a quiet but engaging chemistry together. It was nice watching them together. Mills was not energetic, but had a definite presence.
A lot of the story was about moving on without losing the heart of the past which is nothing new for Christmas movies, but it was nicely done.

Despite the talents of Megan Hilty and June Squibb this Hallmark movie fell flat. I was very bored and it provided only a background to things that demanded my attention more like dinner and Words With Friends. Didn't even put it on pause.
