    • Quotes

      Sloan: I saw what's in the bag, Kay K. It's there, it's real.

      Kay K: We already went through this - Santa Claus burying something.

      Sloan: Obviously it was someone DRESSED as Santa.

      Kay K: Who?

      Sloan: I don't know! It could be anyone. But I remember another piece of it! It came to me in a dream.

      Kay K: A dream? No. No, no. You do NOT pull me out of tactical tagging to tell me about a dream. Six! Five! Four!

      Sloan: What are you doing? Why are you counting?

      Kay K: I only give people six seconds to tell me about dreams. Three! Two!

      Sloan: Forget about the dream. The important part is the money! What if it's still there? Just waiting for us to dig it up?

      Kay K: Wait, wait. Back up. What money?

      Sloan: That's what I'm trying to tell you. There's cash in that bag! Like, a real life buried treasure!

    Quirky, Well-Acted, Sweet Movie
    For someone who's been watching a lot of Hallmark movies this was a breath of fresh air. The characters are interesting and funny. Not sure if the script is tolerable or if the actors are just good enough to cover it. It's well-edited so that the story is cohesive. The puppet elements make it quirky and playful. Now it's not perfect and there are some overly cheesy moments. But, the characters felt so real and like someone your could know.
