The Christmas Promise

6/10 - love that Hallmark included an honest look at grief in their slate of movies this year, but something about how it ended (no spoilers) really didn't sit well with me.

Good premise but could of been done way better

Why does hallmark films have to rush the good plots but then drag the Raman de plots for 2 hours. I enjoyed the you've got mail storyline and I wish that was more a focus and it's funny how she gets a response a second after she texts and the response is lengthy like come on hallmark. The whole time I thought this could actually be a good movie if it wasn't for hallmark ruining it with the whole let's drag the romance parts. I also could not stand her main girlfriend rip the microphone out of her hand. It had a good idea but it falls flat. Also again hallmark just ends the movie after they get together like why not them get together and then the last 5 min show them the next Xmas or something.

What??? No writer or chef?

How refreshing to see a Hallmark movie that does not have a writer, chef, event planner, or lawyer. Perhaps the screenwriters should consider several other professions such as in this movie instead of recycling the same scripts over and over in most of their movies. I enjoyed this one, because it was different.

I have to say...

...Torrey DeVitto is perfect for Hallmark Christmas movies. Sweet, fun and drop dead gorgeous.

This was probably not as good as her previous effort, Write Before Christmas, but she is not to blame: she is excellent in this too.

The chemistry between leads, while not terrible, is not that strong. The plot was totally predictable, but it's a Hallmark movie, so that's not unusual. Strong performances by supporting cast, and some genuinely fun moments.

If you like Hallmark Christmas movies, you'll probably like this one too.

Enjoyed this one

I like that the story was about getting through grief rather than the usual "I don't like Christmas and also my big corporation wants to buy your small business" story. A lot of people are sad at Christmas and it's good to see that addressed. It's always good to see Patrick Duffy on my screen, and I also liked that one of the main character's friends was obnoxious, rather than all the friends being super nice robots. There's always one!
