Storyline

Bobby returns from 2 years in the Navy ready to settle down in Belmont Shores. Heather's dream is to be a director on Broadway...but for now a community theater production of Dickens' Christmas Carol, must be enough... But it is after all Christmas and strange things can happen...with the help of three golden retrievers, and a few compassionate yet pushy friends that will bring together the two unsuspecting childhood sweethearts...

Trivia

Even though Alley Mills (she was in the first two movies) has no part in this movie, you will find her sitting in the front row in the audience during the "A Christmas Carol" play scene. She is wearing a red sweater.

Goofs

The Bobby character is supposed to be recently separated from the navy, but when he appears in uniform at the beginning of the film, his hair is wildly out of regulation. No Petty Officer would get away with that. If he has separated, he no longer has cause to be in uniform.

Problem with description

The movie description say (Naval Officer). This is incorrect. The young man rank is 2nd Class Petty Officer. I know they went after the younger age group, but this would have been a much better movie if it were about a retired Chief Petty Officer or actual naval officer.

They could have gone with the theme of a Officer and Gentleman from 30 years ago. That might have worked. I still think it would have worked much better if they had gone with a more mature age group since they made it about the US military.
