Time for Them to Come Home for Christmas

Brendan Perry and Jessy Schram, I love them both and they have great chemistry. They have never disappointed me.

Then there is Lochlyn Munro, I am used to seeing him playing almost a soap opera villain type. Normally when he enters a scene my first thought is, what sleaziness is he up to this time. But no, Lochlyn proves what a good actor he is, he played the local sheriff as a competent, caring law enforcement officer. Even after the amnesia victim leaves town, he continues to work the case. Kudos, Lochlyn, great job. Left me wishing he had more scenes.

The film moves pretty slow at times and for that reason probably not a good family film, the kiddos will loose interest pretty quickly.

My advice: watch this movie.

Jessy Schram at her best. She has an effect on people.

Take the first "Time for You to Come Home for Christmas" movie and subtract about half the snow and add amnesia and of course Jessy Schram. Actually all the female leads in this franchise have been appealing ladies, but Jessy always seems to be so upbeat and this role is perfect for her. Brendan Penny does his job well and the two have great chemistry.

Like the first one, this is another road trip with stops along the way and some obstacles. There is some mystery even beyond the amnesia and both parts unfold in pieces.

Like the others, this story is touching and the actors do a fine job. There's a scene with Allison Sweeney reprising her character from two years ago where she gives Jane some cookies.

This movie was thoroughly enjoyable. I am a huge Jessy Schram fan. Haven't seen her in anything I did not like. She and Brendan Penny develop great chemistry. Their characters help each other throughout the movie - as well as spreading some cheer along their road trip. The outcome of "Jane's" amnesia snd "Paul's" anxiety is handled very well.

I had to do a double-take with Lisa Durupt (as Annie, the sister). She is brunette in this movie - not blonde - as she usually is. I recognized her voice - but she looked so different. Not sure why they made her brunette next to Jessy's blonde - sisters might have the same hair color!

Fun movie though...

Somehow, Christmas movies with amnesiac heroines seem to work, at Hallmark. The idea may be trite, but is developed credibly, again. Schram and Penny are quite good, acting with empathy and restrain. The story is simple and gentle. Just right in the Holiday spirit. Should you not be looking to be blown by shocking drama, you are encouraged to watch it and dwell in warm feelings, while resting cozily on your comfy couch.

A stellar Hallmark cast with a sweet surprise appearance from Allison Sweeney! Always a joy to watch in any Hallmark movie!

Enjoyed the story, and especially how it wove in other characters!

Brenan Penny is a favorite! As are several of the supporting cast members.
