I couldn't say.

Even the fact that David O'Donnell was looking extremely hot, in a very Patrick Dempsey kind of way, could not get me to finish this film. It was daft from the beginning, pretty much at the moment Tom Arnold appeared. I should have switched it off then, but even only five minutes later I knew it was a no goer for me, which is a shame because I do like David Deluise and he hasn't even turned up by that point.

I have no idea what the story is about to review in depth, but I'd say don't bother unless you like silly Tom Arnold films.

Unrated as unfinished.

Terrible

Not even worth watching when it comes on TV during Christmastime. Definitely some of the laziest film making I have ever seen. The movie is supposed to take place on the east coast during December (they mention stopping in Connecticut on the way home) except the cast is constantly wearing short sleeves, and the trees are full and there are flowers in bloom. Also the main character's car looks like it has a California license plate (although they never focus on it). Its not that hard to at least dress your characters in sweaters and act like its cold...especially when at the end it starts snowing for a moment so I assume they would be a little cold without coats on! The characters are also incredibly shallowly written, and you can't really care about them at all.

Dire,

Possibly the worst movie ever.

Entirely predictable story line, city girl friend vs old hometown sweetheart.

I didn't like or care for any character, everyone was so rude to the city girl yet still the boyfriend drags her along to gatherings so the nice small town people can continue to be rude to her.

It's not often I use the word hate, but i really hated this movie. I didn't feel festive, I felt cross. I couldn't understand why the boyfriend let the small town people be so rude and yet he never once said anything in return.

Normally I can find at least one positive, sadly this time I can't.

Worst movie ever? Maybe not, but pretty close to it.

This is a movie filled with marginal talents doing less than their limited best in a truly insipid film. I concur with previous reviews and offer this warning: stay away. Far away. You're better off watching a loop of a Yule log burning. Probably the funniest aspect of it is the way they kept showing Nicole Eggert from the neck up, avoiding any angles that might show how much weight she's carrying. Truth to tell, this is a cynical Christmas movie effort. The people who made it were just trying to exploit the public's insatiable appetite for insipid Christmas fare and can't accept the very attractive Nicole Eggert with extra weight on her.

NOT THAT GOOD

Why was there a huge disparity between snowy scenes and men walking about in shirt sleeves like the middle of summer ???

The one thing I DID like, was the outtakes at the end of the film, its always amusing to watch them on any show or film. Maybe Hallmark should do that more, at least we'd have something to look forward to if the film is bad !

Trivia
The picture in the frame of Nicole Eggert was obviously taken years ago.

Goofs
In the beginning of the movie when they are in the church proposing the ski resort, the flag hanging vertically behind the mayor has the stars in the right-hand corner. When hanging a flag, horizontally or vertically, the stars always belong in the top left-hand corner.
