I have watched several hundred Christmas movies and reviewed most of them.

I thought it was a nice story. Maybe a little too much time was spent rehearsing songs with singers that were just OK, but not major performance worthy. Likewise the acting was poor, but not horrible. I have watched much worse even in the last week. And I didn't see that much chemistry between the leads. The daughter actually had more chemistry with the female lead, but that's common in Christmas movies.

I said the said the story was nice, but you do have to suspend any demand for reality with the ending. One reviewer mentioned the snowstorm and a packed theater. That and the watch CEO making it from out of town were a little inconsistent.

BTW: has anyone else notice snowstorm Meghan showing up in several Lifetime movies this year?

This is a made for TV movie, so it will never be the movie theater quality just based on the 'free' viewing factor as long as you have cable. It had an original story, which I like. Most of the movies like this are so 'cookie cutter' and copycat-ish, so I rather enjoyed the freshness of ideas coming from these new Lifetime Channel movies. Now it is a typical romantic Christmas movie, but that is what is nice about these movies. They kind of get you in the mood for a warm and comfy holiday season. They also depict inter-racial relationships as well, which is nice. Watch it once and see that it isn't as awful as one of the remarks here. The little 'daughter' girl is a pretty good actress and very cute too!

Nice feel-good movie. Likeable characters and good acting. Definitely worth a watch with a hot cocoa and a blanket on the sofa. Delightfully and comfortingly predictable.

I enjoyed the movie and all of the actors playing in it. Especially Kyla.

I know everyone gave it a bad review for acting but I liked it! Bad acting or not it was a good wholesome romantic Christmas movie!

Reading some of the negative reviews I actually enjoyed it. It was a cute story I LOVED the song Kyla Pratt sang at the end. I'd download the song and add it to my Christmas Playlist if I could find it!

Actors seems very nice as people but they really are struggling with acting plus connections between main actors was... 0. I hope they are better in other show

Absolutely the worst Lifetime Christmas movie. The acting was awful, forced and contrived. And the singing was worse!!!!! I can watch Lifetime movies over and over, this one never again! I gave it a chance though; I actually finished it.

This is a full on corn fest! The two leads played by Kyla Pratt and Edward Ruddles aren't terrible, but they seem to be surrounded by people of the hammiest and cheesiest school of acting. The Mother and The Mayor are just awful!

Although, I don't know who told Kyla that she can sing, but they were so very badly wrong and her speaking voice isn't any less irritating either.

Edward is not quite worthy to make it on to my Daily Crush list, but there is something about him that is appealing. I probably would have turned it off after she got back to Vermont if he hadn't turned up.

The story itself isn't bad, it's just badly made.

I will not be adding this to the regular watching list for every Christmas, but I might chance it again in a few years?

Enjoyed the storyline and roles. Down to earth acting and loved the settings. A great movie.

Terrible acting to the point I really had a hard time watching the whole movie. I know Lifetime is trying to compete with Hallmark, but they are failing miserably!

Some movie are bad and have a better rating than this one ive watch over 470 christmas movie in 2 months (oct 26th to dec 25th) and this one was clearly not on the bottom of the list... of course the story is easy to know how it's gonna finish but like almost every christmas movie! the story's not bad at all and actor are OK! not sure why some say they are the worst... if you are a christmas movies Munger like me.... well you won't hate it or found it one of the worst you ever seen! this one is not bad at all!

There was nothing good about this film. Not one of the actors could act their way out of a paper bag. And as for the alleged 'beautiful' singing - said by one character, well how he managed to keep a straight face on uttering those words is beyond me, as I had to turn the sound off it was so abysmal. Sorry, but this film was so laughably bad it should be shown to future Directors about the pitfalls of making films.

I mean really - light hearted - bad acting but bad enough to be enjoyable in a light hearted way

When Emma gets the possibility of a promotion though I couldn't stop laughing - I see a promotion for you said her boss - double the hours but double the pay IS THAT NOT THE SAME PAY SHE'S ON NOW - surely someone picked that up!!!!!

They tired but sadly it was a little boring, very predictable. It's an ok background movie.

For me I thought this was really sweet, I liked it and will continue to rewatch it with each re-Airing. Plus I have made it part of my christmas movie video collection.

The only good thing about this movie was that it was set at Christmas. I agree with other reviewers that the acting was just awful. The female lead was so bad. I can't believe they aired this as it is a hot mess.

Can't believe someone rated this low! It had a great plot, Much better than typical Lifetime acting and very well done. A must see for the holiday!!

Fletcher was a dud. He didn't even make eye contact the first half of the movie.

The premise of this movie had potential. However, the directing and acting were so fake and contrived. The actors sounded like they were just reading the script with no emotion behind it. I tried to watch the whole thing but just couldn't. Very disappointed.

If you have a pre conceived notion that this would be anything other than a cheesy romantic Christmas movie, your expectations are miss guided. It is the kind of movie that you just hope the 2 lead characters end up together but are kept on the edge of your seat the whole time while the history translates to the present. The 2 leads and the little girl did an amazing job in portraying the characters they were assigned. I'm a hopeless romantic who dreams of something magical to happen in life and this movie speaks to me!! On a side note I didn't like the security in the bed and breakfast, a little too lackadaisical for my liking.
