Simple storyline but it works.

So happy to see something different on the seasonal movie front. Quite frankly I happened across it by chance and didn't intend to watch the entire movie. The cast kept me with it. Jesse Hutch (Lucas) and Jonna Walsh as Mandy are very good together but what really hooked me? Veteran Canadian actors Jayne Eastwood and Art Hindle. Yes--a simple story line but who cares? The actors (one and all) are excellent and make it work. Highly recommended!!

Very slow

This movie was ok, but very slow and boring. I don't recommend it

Lifetime Christmas

Mandy Leeds (Jonna Walsh) is a regional manager at a hotel conglomerate in Miami. She's visiting her grandmother (Jayne Eastwood) for Christmas. She runs into old rival Lucas Menzino (Jesse Hutch) who stole her rental car. The rivalry continues when both end up chasing after the same local hotel.

Their rivalry needs better banter. They are too nice and too bland. There is no heat in the rivalry and the inevitable relationship. Instead, they seem to be low-simmering and stalling the inevitable conflict. Then there is the hotel. They need an interesting looking hotel. If they're fighting over it, it needs to be the central piece. This is Lifetime trying to fight back against Hallmark. They are certainly not doing anything more than that with this one.

correct

I use, very often, the term nice for define Hallmark movies. In this case , correct sounds some better.

First for supporting actors beautiful job.

Second for main actors, beautiful and good workers for the nice sparkles of characters.

For fine define of values , from friendship and love - in various forms- to the fair decision and the feminine version of Peter Pan syndrome.

But the story ? You know it so well than it becomes a sort of pretext. Nothing serious, same recipe and same ways for craft it but the nice portraits proposed by. Art Hindle, Jayne Eastwood,Tammy Isbel and especialy Kelly Van der Burg are just beautiful and. Jonna Welsh and. Jesse Hutch are pretty in many senses, reminding , in fair way, old classic fairy tales.

Good Christmas movie

Yes, the story line is the same as all the boy meets girl Christmas movies but I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Jesse Hutch is one of my favourites. I didn't know Jonna Walsh before this but I will watch for her now. Old favourites Jayne Eastwood and Art Hinkle are an added bonus. Filmed in Hamilton, ON is pretty cool too. Close to home.
