    Dad Chris Marshall did not stand a fighting chance against the will of his two kids and Kismet

    This is a cute romantic Christmas themed film that Mrs. Shullivan and I have now watched it twice as it was such a FEEL GOOD film the first time we decided to watch it this Christmas season again. Widower Chris Marshall has been busy and pre-occupied raising his two children Sophie and carrot top Jackson on his own for the past five (5) years with little regard given to his own personal life taking a backstage to any romantic involvement.

    After five (5) years since Chris's wife passed away his two children find out from their Uncle Jason (Billy MacLellan) that their dad and the number one (1) singing star in the country Nikki Crandon (Shannon Elizabeth) were teenage first crush's so they decide to play Cupid and get them back together again.

    Fame can be both a blessing and a curse and Nikki and Chris rekindle their once very strong relationship only to have Nikki's fame get in the way once more. But this being the Christmas season and family and love being important to all you can guess how this film ends can't you? Hey, we watched it twice so it is well worth watching at least once. I give it a favorable IMDb rating of a 6 out of 10.

    Always look for this one...

    Yes everything about this movie is predictable, but so is every Hallmark movie. I miss Hallmark's regular scheduled late at night program during the holidays and I don't care for most of the Christmas movies, but this one is one of my favorites.

    There's just something about it. From the second the movie starts, Chris and his kids are people you want to be happy. You can tell he's a great dad who doesn't have much happiness in his life since his wife died. Even Shannon Elizabeth's character Nikki is someone you want good things for. There's just something about reconnecting with your high school sweetheart. This doesn't have many good reviews on IMDb but I think it's great.

    So glad to 'catch' this!

    I assumed this was a new movie until I looked it up. I must have missed it previously. It's thoroughly enjoyable - unrealistic, it's true, but most movies are unrealistic. That's why we watch them - escapism - and if I'm going to see unrealistic fiction I like it to be happy and have some good music and a couple of cute kids who, of course, are wiser than the adults. This movie has all of that. Maybe the villains - the record company man and the actor - could have been nastier but we end up hating them anyway. I could have done without the 'camp' assistant in his pink jacket but I guess there has to be one. I struggled to decide whether Shannon Elizabeth did her own singing or not. If she did, Hallmark really missed an opportunity by not producing a Mistletoe over Manhattan soundtrack album. A Christmas Cracker!

    Enjoyable but is it rewatchable?

    I picked this movie to watch because I recognised the main actress and wanted to also cross off another Christmas movie from my challenge.

    I enjoyed the movie. It had a nice story to it and as a dad myself, I kinda related to how he wanted the best for his kids. It was sweet.

    Although I enjoyed it, im not sure if its one of them movies where I would watch again. Maybe.

    This now takes my Christmas movies to 28 out of 100.

    real or not

    Nikki Crandon (Shannon Elizabeth) is a pop superstar. Chris Marshall (Steve Byers) is a widower with two kids. The kids find out that their father used to date Nikki in high school. They set off on a quest to bring them together.

    The kids are cute enough. It's a Hallmark movie. Shannon Elizabeth may be a better singer than I expected although her singing may be dubbed. I don't know if it's her voice or not. It's not fair but a real singer would not face the same issue. The role needs a real former pop star. It needs Debbie Gibson but younger. As for the story, it's a little clunky. I expected more with the kids since they're so cute. I don't like the overblown fight at the restaurant. A better way to do the needed conflict would be a paparazzi pushing over one of the kids. That's a better reason for him to end the relationship. Quite frankly, I expected her to say "I'm just a girl..." in her big speech. This is fine.
