Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
phd_travel A doctor in the city is about to become head of trauma. When she returns to her small town she rekindles a romance with her childhood sweetheart. Her father is about to retire from his small town practice. The cast is likeable enough. It's nostalgic to see Patrick Duffy as the father all grey haired. He is still a welcome presence on screen. Note to Hallmark: a little tired of giving up a great career and life in the big city for the charms of the small town. Everything she has worked and achieved don't count for anything? Why can't the small town person ever move to the city. Few are good enough to make it.Not a must watch.
cammietime The only bad thing with this movie is that unlike all other Hallmark Christmas movies where you can figure out the ending after 15 minutes, this movie you can figure out the ending by reading the "info" section on the DVR, or by watching 2 minutes of the movie. So, that kinda really ruins it as it seems like all the actors are pretending throughout the the movie that the true correct ending that you quickly predicted is not actually going to happen. I did like the actors in this movie, they were all very believable. Brooke Nevin is very pretty and likeable as Nessa, and she likes to wear tight fitting red dresses in nearly every scene, even if it is totally inappropriate for the occasion. The dad is super likeable as well and plays well as Dad figure, much better than most Hallmark Christmas movies. I also liked the addition of the younger brother, who by merely existing, added value to this movie. Usually that character does not exist and is instead replaced by the evil fiance or current boyfriend. Refreshing to have a change here. The town is non-descript and boring, as are all the other characters, including the Mom. But, all in all, worth watching once.
rebekahrox This is a very bland story with no real conflict. There are no villains that are fun to root against. Not even a somewhat jerk of a current fiancé that our hero has to compete against. The two leads are likable and it is nice to see Patrick Duffy again. There is nothing spectacularly stupid that happens here(so no joy there, either!). Just a young doctor who decides she prefers a slow-paced small town practice to the fast paced big city hospital. No mystery, no big reveals, no tough decisions, no struggles, no humor. And the small town setting vs. The big city has been done to death. It is Christmassy, though. Lots of decorations.
Jack Vasen Vanessa is a big city trauma doctor up for promotion. She returns home for a short Christmas holiday, where her father is a small town doctor. Most of the rest of her story is about being shown that even small town doctors save the world in their own way.The romance is with Mitch, her long-past boyfriend who she's know most of her life. There isn't much romancing, relatively speaking. The connection is obvious and goes back to childhood, but Vanessa isn't really letting it get romantic.The things that convince her are more incremental than sudden, so there are no huge surprises. But this is where the heart-warming part of the story lies. In the end, it is the small town practice that hooks her, but big Hallmark surprise, she ends up with Mitch too.Brooke Nevin appears to be a rising star in the Hallmark movie world. She is charming and beautiful and does this kind of story well.
