This one wasn't terrible, but it wasn't the best, either. It has a pet-peeve of mine: forced love story. I was shocked when Quinn admitted she has been in love with Jack for her whole life. (Not a spoiler, it's obvious.) She didn't seem in love with him at all. This movie thought it could use words and that would register in our minds as chemistry. It doesn't work like that. As for this whole radio show thing, what even..? Who on earth would be interested in a meet the parents segment... ON NYE? Not I, said the cat.
The acting coming from the side characters is horrendous. When they made an announcement that was supposedly really big, the wows coming from the family was not convincing at all.
As for the positives, I thought that Jack was a model love interest for these types of films. He wasn't a deplorable male character just there for staring at, I actually thought he was an okay guy. I have more to say on this film, but I believe I don't have much more description for it. I say just watch it for yourself and see If you like it.

I'll keep it very simple. If you are the kind of person who loves Christmas movies and watches a handful of those cheesy Hallmark Christmas movies each year, then this movie is definitely for you because it is absolutely, positively better than about 9 out of 10 of those. If you don't enjoy that genre, then this probably wouldn't be the one to win you over. Personally, I'm always looking for the next Xmas gem as they start to roll out a little after Halloween (sometimes sooner). Most of them are forgettable, but short and sweet. This one snuck up on me and I really enjoyed it. And the two leads (especially the male) were quite good. 87 minutes of a cute and fun, albeit cliched, romance set to a Xmas background....nothing wrong with that in my opinion.
My son told me he was watching this so I decided to watch it too. I'm not sure i would of picked it otherwise but im happy I watched it.
I thought it was a really good movie. Sweet and a nice feel good to it.
The leads and cast were great too. Although it was set after Christmas day, it was still festive enough.
This is number 36 out of 100 for my 100 Christmas movies before Christmas day challenge with 45 days to go. Can I do this challenge?
This is a good movie and I will watch this again.

Now it is very rare for me to watch such a movie. I have watched several rom coms over the years but always with hollywood a-listers staring. I watched it during an airplane trip, so not much choice there, still I am glad I did.
At first it seemed weird to watch a movie where all actors were completely unknown to me. Beyond that, the cliched story was served well by the script, the acting, the pace, but mostly the protagonists chemistry.
Well I began to watch it to kill time and ended up enjoying it. 7/10 might be a little generous but for a low budget tv movie very decent job. Better than several high end production movies, Marry me for instance.

A simple but sweet HOLIDAY LOVE STORY with a heart-warming couple and good chemistry to match.
No hidden Hollywood Agenda, just classic good joyful entertaining that NEVER GETS OLD.
