Featured reviews
In some measure, surprising because the predactibility and the familiar steps of romance are motives to see it as an ordinary Hallmark. But it is a film of details, details not only saving it be a ball of cliches but giving to it beautiful nuances. A mix of hockey and Ballet, help - in many directions - and basic truths . And, no doubts, reflection of inspired job of Alexa PenaVega and shinny Luke Macfarlane, the last real good in ballet shoes or on ice. . So, just ...delightful.
Hallmark movies are a...lets go with special, kind of movies. Often way too cheesy and and gooey. Although this one does have one of the classic Hallmark-plots the chemistry and acting between Alexa and Luke are amazing.
Surprisingly great romcom.
Surprisingly great romcom.
This charming Hallmark film is a romcom about a ballet instructor named Jenna (Alexa PenaVega) and a professional hockey player named Ryan (Luke Macfarlane). It deserves higher marks than most because the chemistry between the two is off the charts.
Because Ryan is injured, he is referred to Jenna for rehab via ballet exercises. This fish-out-of-water scenario gives the film most of its comic relief.
Along the way, the film provides plenty of simple lessons about living life. In the end, both parties are changed through their interactions. If you like Hallmark romances, you will probably like this one.

It's nice to see Alexa without her real life husband (which is extremely rare). When they perform together it always seems like they over act. No on screen chemistry. I think it's because they force it and it just doesn't work for me. Anything with Luke macfarland works for me and he was good again. I might say chateau Christmas was a stretch because there was nothing to the script. Iwould watch this again while predictable it was enjoyable. Not like Alexa love boat knock off or some of the others with her husband.
