I loved this movie. She's beautiful, he's handsome. I thought they had wonderful chemistry. As for the accent not being there, I for one, being born and raised in Alabama, still Iive here, HATE when someone/actors try to talk "country" or have a different accent than they're born with because they sound ridiculous, so I appreciate them using their normal voice. I've watched many movies with people trying to sound southern and I wanted to scream. Ugh! This movie was one of the best this season. Would definitely recommend.
3 generations: grandma and grandpa, mom (Moira) and Sara (Jana). They all won't the Christmas festival.
Sara won in 2004. It's now the 50th anniversary. Gran won 50 years ago where she fell in love with her husband Mr. Christmas. 50 years ago. 1969. Her granddaughter was a senior in 2004 so born 1986. 21 years late. The mom is said to have won in 1989. That works out with when her parents won but by that then she would have had her daughter when she was 15?!? It's driving me nuts.
It's too spread out over too many characters. Sara and Luke have zero chemistry. Jana has done some ok stuff but is also annoying.
This is a miss for me.

Here in the UK it was titled Christmas on the River, so this film was difficult to find on IMDB. Have to agree with others on here that Jana Kramer needed a more mature lead to play opposite than Percy Dagss III. Cant think what the Casting Director was aiming for, but it certainly didn't work. It was more interesting to watch the relationship develop between her mother and the photographer. At least Barry Bostock brought some maturity to the film.
I liked the concept and the supporting cast was great, however the movie fell flat on it's face. Agree with many of the reviewers, the leads lacked chemistry and appeared awkward in their interactions. Maybe a change in one or both leads could have made this a better watch.
Having been born and raised in the town of New Iberia, this movie perfectly depicts the small-town charm that my city has; I was so happy to see so many familiar faces and places. I hope we get more people to come and see what we have to offer now that Christmas is actually around the corner. It would be amazing to have another movie filmed here again; the experience was wonderful and everyone was so kind.
