The lead couple in this movie are actors we like ... but sort of on the second tier of our favorites from the standard roster in the Christmas romances. But this film started out strong with personality, an interesting concept, and some real laughs.
Unfortunately, and this happens in a LOT of Hallmark scripts, it lost that early charm about halfway through as they went all "ripped from the headlines" to mimic the Wells Fargo scandal. They should have stuck with the initial premise of Aimee Teagarden's New Year's resolution, which is what made the first half fun.
So for me, the movie had the potential to be great, but they frittered it away in the last half.
