Retrouve-moi pour Noël

It was not the best, but it was ok. Gave it 7 stars just because it was a safe movie for my family to watch.

Good witch star, Catherine Bell, meets GCB star, Mark Deklin, as a teen at a Christmas resort. In classic Love Affair/Affair To Remember style they agree to meet at the tree for the tree lighting ceremony and one of them doesn't show up...fast forward to meeting again at her son's wedding to his niece. The two must pull together and put together the wedding of his nieces dreams when the wedding coordinator quits for a celebrity elopement and her parents flight is delayed...and all of this takes place at the original site of their first meeting. Nice slow build love story with beautiful Christmas backdrop(kudos to the prop workers and set designers!). Also Catherine Bell and Mark Deklin were really very sweet together...another feel good Hallmark classic!

I like Catherine Bell, but I don't think that Mark Deklin is right for her in this film, she was a much better pairing with Eric Close in "Christmas In The Air".

The general concept of finding a childhood love again, that the story is based on, has been explored many times in films of this genre and it's not a bad try here.

I like the wedding prep build up, but it does kind of take over the Christmas side of things, which is what I really tune in for.

I'm starting to think that Hallmark are reaching a bit with their stories and having seen so many of them, I can definitely say that they are getting very repetitive. It's time to change the format a bit, mix up the story and maybe not everyone has to be happy in the end? Only some of them are currently being done well. I think this one is a good example, but I'm afraid Mark isn't quite the hotty I have become accustomed to.

AND yet another failed attempt by Hallmark to do flashbacks - with young actors who don't even remotely resemble the current day couple. You know Hallmark - if "This is Us" can do it - you can too.

I would describe this as a classic Hallmark Christmas movie: a nice and enjoyable romantic story, a decent script, good acting, and plenty of Christmas spirit and festive cheer. This is my 14th Hallmark Christmas movie this 2020 season. Lucky me ;-). Again, it was a nice concept for a love story, predictable, but nice. Though I did lose interest a couple of times early on, the movie eventually pulled me in and engaged me. The acting was strong. Both leads are Hallmark regulars and good actors. I am a fan of The Good Witch, so I naturally like Catherine Bell; she performed well here too. Mark Deklin also had a strong performance. The chemistry between the two was just about right for this movie, I think. The supporting cast was excellent, especially the son and niece. Overall, it is an enjoyably film that provides some holiday warmth and spirit. Fans of Hallmark should enjoy.
