psylocke928 This was one of the better Hallmark Christmas movies I've seen. Normally, I don't care for them, but this one really stuck with me. I highly enjoyed it & well casted. I hope you give it a chance! Wait, it's a book too? :o

sndbd-93781 Enjoyable and its always fun to see mutual interests grow to friendship, especially at Christmas.. the most stressful season! The film takes us on an original premise, a promise, to watch strangers reveal how they came to be where they are today... and how they can help each other resolve issues, and take pleasure in seeing it unfold. Isn't that the Christmas spirit?Oh, there are definite production problems along the way... the extras working in the film are so bad, its distracting beyond belief -- particularly in the food court, and the snow man building contest. The fake snow is also very annoying. But the main characters do keep your attention. Sarah Smyth, as Ashley, was particularly believable. You want to believe that it's a wonderful life... including for a lawyer and a travel shop operator. Miracles... and good people... can live Christmas every day of the year. Now, it's time to read the book.

clairelu60 As a lover of the "feel-good", slightly cheesy hallmark movies, I was very excited to watch this movie. I was, however, extremely disappointed by the quality.I never really expect any giant plot twists or any excellent writing; the hallmark movies are known for their stories that just make you feel good. This movie had no story.The plot is extremely boring, as it follows the premise of the summary exactly. The whole movies follows this one "couple" pretending to be in love. Nothing interesting or even believable happens. In fact, I can't believe that either of them hated Christmas in the first place because the second they spend time together, they start loving Christmas. The acting in his film is not great and nothing happens to these two characters. They don't even fall in love until the very end, when they are suddenly so in love, after having stated about a million times that their arrangement was just a business arrangement.If you have a few hours to kill, I suggest another hallmark Christmas movie.

debtokarz The book is well written and tells a beautiful story of forgiveness. It is so much more engaging than this fluffy movie that really has no story other than a romance. Highly recommend reading the book and skipping the movie. I understand creative lead way but Hallmark did this book an injustice. The director also made poor choices in turning a story of redemption into a comedy. I love that Hallmark does feel good movies. However, they tend to be far from reality and border on fantasy. This story does have sadness (in the book) but Hallmark could have done a better interpretation without making it too much of a drama because it has a happy ending. Lastly the acting was meh!
