GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

InitforREEL I love movies like this, based on pure belief that there's no such thing as coincidence and everything happens as it should. Alicia Witt plays a perfectly innocent wise young woman, whose want to hold on to her father's memory by keeping his store is more about following your heart than your pocketbook. Her current (and wrong-for-her) fiancé, who is in real estate, encourages her to sell her memories (the store) and become a multi-millionaire because of the store's location. She realizes this man has no sensitivity or understanding of her feelings and who she really is. Of course, there's more to the story.....she had met another man in the most peculiar and humorous way, a way that probably really could happen. As it is said so beautifully in this movie, "Life is about Timing, and Timing is Everything in Life and Love.".

cammietime The first two thirds of this movie is really good, above average for a Hallmark Christmas movie. The plot is actually somewhat interesting and not the typical woman goes to small town and meets an old friend romance thing. Nobody is a marketing director trying to finish the "big job before Christmas," but yes of course they are all from New York City. One of the main relationships in the movie is not very convincing, but the other is pretty believable. Unfortunately, after two thirds of good plot, the movie implodes and the irresistible ridiculous events of Hallmark Christmas movies and questionable leaps of logic and timing start to occur. One "yeah right" moment happens after another, leading up to an ending that is the biggest can of cheese ever. A desperately desired epilogue is cut to a few irrelevant moments. But Alice is refreshingly believable and unique for a leading lady in a movie like this. Worth watching but the ending makes you puke.

Christmas-Reviewer REVIEW. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. NOW I HAVE NO AGENDA! I REVIEW MOVIES & SPECIALS AS A WAY TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT I HAVE SEEN! I HAVE DISCOVERED MANY GEMS IN MY QUEST TO SEE AS MANY " C H R I S T M A S " MOVIES AS I CAN. Someone keeps reporting my reviews. I guess they are jealous because I do tell the truth. I want to point out that I never make snide remarks about actors weight or real life sexual orientation. If there acting is terrible or limited "I talk about that". If a story is bad "I will mention that" So why am I being "picked on"? IMDB will not even tell me what someone found offensive. Well on to this review In this film a woman who flies to her fiancé's home town alone to meet her future in-laws for the first time at their Christmas gathering. At the airport, after discovering that her luggage is lost and her mobile phone is broken, she meets her future brother-in-law by chance for the first time. He takes her to his parents' home, where she meets a warm loving family preparing for Christmas. Everything seems perfect until her "fiancé" arrives-and she realizes that she is with the wrong family. Alicia Witt limited acting range is all apparent here. She is the same in all her roles (Then again so is Tom Cruise). This film however could of been better but it still works. The filmmakers did a great job by setting up "The Choices" that Alice Chapman has in front of her. This film is predictable and has some flaws The phony laugh at the end should of been re-shot however the film does work. What is nice is the fact that this film did not involve a poor widow woman or orphans. Now will I watch it again. In fact I have. Twice more since I originally posted this review!

boblipton There's no orange-colored sky, but Alicia Witt is a cute, giggly carrot-top in this one. Her meet cute with Mark Wiebe is they get into a traffic accident. She's been sent on alone by his brother, her fiancé, to meet her family and spend Christmas with his family; Alicia and Mark meet at the airport and he gives her a lift to their house... but it's the wrong family. Her fiancé has the same name.It's a cute set-up and very charming, although the contrast between the two families, played for comic effect, is handled like a sledge hammer. In addition, her fiancé is intent on making a lot of money by having her sell her beloved antique shop on 23rd Street -- although it fronts in Soho, several miles and four neighborhoods away -- to a real estate developer for a lot of money.Well, no one ever claimed that the scripts for Hallmark seasonal romantic comedies were subtle. There are a couple of laughs along the way. If it's not great, it's all handled competently.
