Featured reviews
I've watched a lot of Christmas movies and this is one actually watch again. Good actors and story line!
I can see the complaints about this being boring, but I find the uniqueness of this movie to be worth it. Basically via flashback we see Kat and Sam who have known each other since childhood. Their fathers went into business together so, every Christmas their families get together for a party and typically Kat and Sam gather around the table. Just about every year it is our time to check in with them and we see how their lives were going via conversation at the party. Mostly because of this we are spared from the Christmas movie with no plot. Unfortunately about 30 minutes of this move is stall and is boring. Also I like Danica but she is out acted here by her co star and it shows. There were some pretty good zags at the end but it just made me wish they had cut significant parts and extended those scenes. But it is definitely a good flick that will keep you happy but just watch with the remote handy to fast forward.
I'm not actually writing a review. I love this movie. It's like a better version of a Hallmark holiday movie.
But someone in a review from 2019 said it wasn't believable that Sam quit his newspaper job to become a logger. That's because it's not. He quit to become a BLOGGER, with a B. He decided to get a remote writing job. (My last job was as a remote blogger - often now referred to as a content marketer - ghost writing blogs for SaaS companies.) Anyway I find that part very believable because I worked in journalism and left to do marketing writing in 2013 because journalism pays terribly and marketing pays pretty well in comparison.

How did the young girl manage to play a track on an LP at 78rpm, on an antique phonograph using a steel needle in a diaphragm on a tone arm?
What happened to Terrie and the Carlas? They could have had a hit with that record.
The cardboard house? It'd have taken days to make that. Where did Sam find the time?
Still one o f my favourite Christmas films.

If you meant your soul mate early but put off the big ring event, and then spent a long time chasing your dreams, while still staying in touch with your soul mate, you will really like this movie.
If you spent a long time waiting for the right person to come along, refusing the advances of numerous decent mate selections in hopes of finding the 'right' person, and eventually did, you will like this movie
If you have made secret and very long sacrifices for some one you love, with them being oblivious to the fact, and finally was acknowledged for your silent sacrifice, you will like this movie.
If you jumped quickly into a marriage, and either gutted it out or eventually moved on to another and so on, you will not understand this movie
If you have had the fortune of having quick success and things pretty much fell your way in the relationship/ work world, you will not really relate to this movie
If you have not spent a lot of time trying to accomplish something, while putting off relationships, this movie will not be for you
If you have never waited a long time for a relationship to come to fruition, one of the messages in this movie will be lost on you
In summary, this is one of the most unique romance movies I've seen, and thats coming from one of those guys that groans through most chick flicks
I tossed it a ten for the uniqueness of the script, some people watching it just didn't get parts of the movie. My wife and I understood everything in it, and the undercurrent messages. From a lot of comments I have read on the movie, many of the subtle nuances of the movie go over the head of some viewers.
