Not different by many others Christmas movies, using the same sweet romanticism, with few drops of religion, solitude and ...a horse, it is only nice. and this is the good point. because , in this case, the most important detail could be the status of hot chocolate film. and, few good performances and few references to classic scenes of genre are enough for ignore the not inspired parts and the unrealistic scenes. but the real great thing is the science to use the well known recipe of genre. in simple manner, without many innovations, it is the typical Christmas film - comfortable, nice and romantic.

This is a bit quirkier take on the plot device where two strangers need to pretend to be in a relationship for the holidays. I enjoyed quite a few laughs as this Jewish girl agrees to this with a Catholic boy.Their first rule is no touching and they break it about 10 seconds later when Julie sees the office creep and grabs Rob and kisses him. In fact this movie probably has more kissing than I've seen in any of these Hallmark friendly movies.They keep getting into little dilemmas where they have to do some quick thinking that usually leads to a "white" lie. At one point, Rob's whole Catholic family pretends to be Jewish because Rob and Julie have told her family that he is Jewish. Admittedly this isn't PC which hopefully can be forgiven, but it is funny.Joey Lawrence and Emily Hampshire are cute together.This story is a nice change on the theme and takes a tiny twist at the end.

This was the first Christmas movie of the year that I saw I it didn't disappoint. The themes of family radiated from the storyline which is what Christmas is all about, the plot was believable cause it didn't always go to plan and most of the time I was in fits of giggles at the characters situations. The acting of all the characters was very good for a TV movie and the storyline was on that is used many times in Christmas movies but this had more comedy in it which in involved different religions but wasn't, in my eyes, offensive to either religion. The scale of the movies finale was very well directed and it added to the festive spirit. It was a lovely festive movie that got me all ready for the Christmas season!

Here is yet another Hallmark Channel Made-for-TV Christmas movie, this time starring the awesome (ha!) Joey Lawrence (whooaaa!) He's actually does have decent acting talent and isn't all that bad. Neither is Emily Hampshire, the lead Canadian here. But the movie itself has a dumb, overused premise and is nothing but predictable. Why I'm watching 90 minutes of Christmas fluff each week I am not sure. You'd think more than 1 out of every 20 would be above average but they're seemingly all nearly the same.5.6 / 10 stars--Zoooma, a Kat Pirate Screener
