Un Noël à Springdale

Good watch. Recommended. The leads have chemistry and the kid actor did a decent job too. Any criticism you may read about the setting or window dressing in this film is inconsequential in my view. It is all about the story and characters you are rooting for. On that basis, Small Town Christmas delivered!

This movie is pretty much what you'd expect given the title and the TV network, Hallmark Movies and Mysteries (although it fits Hallmark Channel better). A small town is the epitome of life and tradition is everything. Yet, despite the predictability, it was done pretty well and the characters are appealing. Kristoffer Polaha kept reminding me of other Christmas movies he has been in . He and Ashley Newbrough had chemistry and add the little girl to make it even better.

6/10 - another average Hallmark flick, but is slightly less cliché than normal

Beautiful story and lovely actors especially Kristoffer Polaha - he is as usual awesome and so natural!

There are a number of Hallmark movies built around a "perfect for Christmas" small town, but this is one of the better ones. In part that's because the lead actors are decent and in part because of the interesting setup that brings the main characters together. Enjoyable, fun, and satisfying to watch.
