In Boise, Idaho, Pat Godfrey and Margie Southworth were each other's first love, something especially important for Margie in Pat and his family feeling like a real family unlike her emotionally distant one. Margie's first job working for retailer Connor and Co. at their Oak Street store also felt like family, especially under her manager, Willa. But when Pat moved to Hawaii immediately following high school for his dream of working in the outdoor adventure business, Margie decided to stay in Boise, despite he asking her to go with him, in believing it was something short term while he discovered what would be his true life and career. It's now twenty years later just before Christmas. Margie is still working at Connor and Co., but in their regional office, still in Boise, as the VP of Marketing and Promotions, with Willa still her boss.

I loved the second Godwink movie where Cindy Busby's character faces a difficult future but the Godwinks are bringing someone special into her life at a crucial time. The first movie was nice, but didn't knock me over. I put this movie about the same as the first. It's decent but I didn't think there were any great highs or lows, or major surprises.
It would be hard for me not to like a movie with Brook D'Orsay. She is such a joyful actor and it's hard not to smile when she's around. (At this writing, this website doesn't even acknowledge her in the cast despite her presence in the promo picture as one of the leads. Likewise Sam Page.) And Page is always a strong presence. They have instant chemistry and share a fair amount of screen time. However the movie also uses a lot of screen time to set up the various situations that bring them to the right place for the inevitable result.. The main supporting actors ranged from adequate to good. The two boys did a pretty good job.
The movie is very predictable in general, but each Godwink is a mini twist. Margie's fearful assumption was pretty silly given how much her boss obviously approved of her. I saw where things were going right about the time of the overheard phone call.
