I wanted to like this movie, as I usually do all Hallmark movies, but sweet baby Jesus, the lead actress was beyond annoying. (Lord, forgive me). Cheerful is one thing, acting like a 12 year old little girl over Christmas is another. Chad Connell made this movie what it was. He CAN act, is very handsome, and charismatic. The leading lady was annoying, nice looking, but they did not fit together because there was absolutely NO chemistry. Chemistry is one of the main assets when watching a Romantic movie, whether Christmas, Valentine's Day, etc. It's why most of us watch these type of movies, the "feel good" aspect of it. I'd she had toned her over zealous behavior down & showed more chemistry between the two, this could have been a great movie. I hate to be negative about another individual, maybe the director is to blame here, but the leading lady was a miss! Chad Connell was awesome! As someone else mentioned, the tree they picked out at the lot wasn't even close to being the same tree they decorated at his home. Total fail there! This movie had room for quite a bit of improvement. This coming from an avid HM movie watcher.
