Best Hallmark movie we've seen in days, or maybe weeks
Just finished watching "Twas the Night Before Christmas" and I'll have to say it left us with smiles on our faces.
We yearn for stories in these Christmas romances to "break the mold", and boy howdy did these writers ever manage that! I'll forgive them their one huge cliche ... a performer who has to take a major break at the last minute and must be replaced.
As our leads produce a performance of a play which offers a mock trial to prove authorship of the classic poem (between Moore and Livingston) surprises arise, as two men appear who seem to be playing their roles, though the roles are not in the script.
The two actors who play Moore and Livingston steal this movie. Their performances are believable and nuanced.
By the way, if the Livingston theory IS correct, which I doubt, my wife is distantly related to the author of Twas the Night Before Christmas. :-)
Highly recommended, and we'll watch this one again in the future.
