In a nice part of Philadelphia, Darcy (Ali Lieber) rides a bike everyday to her dream job, a book saleslady at Chaucer's private book store. When she returns home to her nice apartment a few blocks away, she reads the night away. Oh, she goes out on dates from time to time, but if the gentleman doesn't read, Darcy is not interested. As she is dressing up the store for the holidays, Darcy spies a cute man, name unknown (Peter Porte) and his sheepdog Bailey and likes what she sees. Yet, he doesn't come in the store so she can't meet him. Some days later, Darcy is running late and hops on her bike for the fastest commute she can mount. Horrors! She actually runs over "cute guy" and knocks him to the ground. He goes into a coma! The ambulance takes him to a nearby hospital and Darcy knows she has to take care of the pooch in the interim. This complicates things with her landlady but they work out an arrangement. Soon, the new patient awakes from coma land, but doesn't remember his name or why he is there. Darcy comes to visit and she and the medical staff try to find the missing pieces in his memory. But, two problems arise for Darcy. One, the man may have a fiancée, oh no. Two, her manager is leaving and the store is looking for a replacement. Does Darcy have the daring to apply for the job? What another fine gift from my favorite company on the planet: HALLMARK! What would rom-com lovers do without the endless string of funny love stories Hallmark bestows on its fans? I shudder to think. Lieber is cute and funny while Porte, the lookalike to Jim Caviezel, is already a great favorite of this viewer and the world. What fun to see Philadelphia in a good light and animal lovers will fall hard for Bailey, too. In short, tie a string on your finger and remember to look for this one.

Different from the usual Hallmark Christmas movie
phd_travel5 October 2018
A little different from the usual Hallmark formula there is no store to save or silly misunderstanding before the end. It's fairly interesting to see a bookstore employee help a man with amnesia figure out who he is. The stars are likeable enough neither too perky or irritating.
Super Cute!

seductive
Kirpianuscus22 December 2018
A Christmas Hallmark film reminding a Swedish buffet. For everybody- everything. The good looking guy and the nice girl ( and few drops of amnesia for the first ), a lovely dog and a beautiful bookshop and its problem, "un Italiano vero" and his energetic love, confusions, mistakes, romantic flavors and a moment demanding inspired twist. All - pieces for a seductive film.Why see this film ? For its atmosphere and nice story, off course ! But, first, for the lovely performances of Tina Lifford and Aurelio DiNunzio. And, sure, for the lead couple. And for dog.
Love at first crash.
Reno-Rangan24 December 2017
Like every year in December, my quest begins to watch some of the Christmas films. Mostly the television films, and that too obviously the Hallmark films. As I have mentioned previous years, it's impossible to avoid such seasonal film, if you are a cinephile. I almost saw a dozen of films, they all were decent, but none of them quite impressed me, until this one. This is not like the best film of the season, but among those I've seen, it is that I really enjoyed.
Based on the novel of the same name. I don't know if the book was a Christmas themed, but this one was tuned to the festival occasion. From the television director who had done a film series recently. The actors I don't know, but I liked their good performances. One big drawback in all the Hallmark Christmas films is they are predictable. The films usually aimed for middle-aged to older women in the family. That's not me and I'm aware of that, so I compromise while rating and reviewing, that I always end up saying 50/50. This one rarely stood just above that mark, so here I'm with my feature review.
Darcy is a young woman who works in a prominent bookstore in the town. Very active and always just in time for everything. But on one occasion, she has been late for work, so while hurrying on the road with her bike, collides with a stranger. Now he's in the hospital with amnesia. Feeling guilty, Darcy decides to help him out to gain his memory. So her adventure to find his real identity, and while following events pushes them so close. But if he regains his memory, it might put her in a disappointing state. Because that's what truth always does.

This could be my last Christmas film of this year. And I'm quite happy I enjoyed it and the season ended on a high. The concept of amnesia worked so well for this film. Because of that, the suspense grew and held back until the finale. Obviously that end part was predictable, due to this is a family film and all the family films ends positive note. If you know that and set your mind accordingly, then you would also have a good time with it.
Well, the dog had a nice role. I anticipated more part for him, but a limited one. Usually all the Christmas films made for the television are cliched romance tale, especially the initiation. This was unique, well, better than the most. That best start carried out decently in the middle section. Nothing much fuss. With a bunch of wonderful characters and lines and shot in the nicest locations, the film had the upper hand throughout.
I hope it is as good as the original source. One of the reasons I liked it was not being entirely about Christmas. It sets in only on that backdrop. While the majority of the tale focused on romance. The memory loss brings the some fairy-tale perspective. Overall, it ended nicely. So this is the one I pick for this year and suggest a must see. That's only if you are seeking a Christmas film and also must be watched before the season ends for a better result. Finally, I must say this that I enjoyed it does not mean you too would do the same. Hundreds of Christmas films come out every year, so choose wisely. You might find a better than this that I haven't seen!

To Warm Up The Holidays
atlasmb17 August 2020
This TV movie offers more than a clever title. As prescribed by the genre, it is a feel-good Christmas story with a romance running through it.
Retail book clerk, Darcy (Ali Liebert), runs into a man (Peter Porte) walking his dog---literally---and the guy suffers amnesia. With no personal information available for the unconscious accident victim, Darcy and the hospital do their best to uncover his personal information and help him regain memory, respectively.
This is a satisfying tale about personal discovery that guides the viewer on a journey of slow revelation. Although there are not many surprises, the plot is heart-warming.

It's official! This is one of the 2017 debuts that have expanded my Top 40 to Top 50 favorite Xmas movies.

Warning: Spoilers
There are several reasons why.
First of all? It takes place in a big city (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA) as opposed to a fictional small town. Which--let's face it-- even Hallmark can turn into a boringly overdone trope!
Secondly? The actors who play Aidan and Darcy are completely unknown to me. But, they bring enough emotional plausibility to their characters that the chemistry between them can only be described as more than good. It's superb!
Thirdly? There's the legwork in trying to solve the mystery of who Aidan really is. It's a little more light-hearted than the one surrounding Miranda Chester's paternity in last year's "Finding Father Christmas!" But, no less riveting, to be sure.
Fourthly (if that's even a real word); there's what might be an uncredited cameo appearance by Melissa Hill, who wrote the book this movie is based on. Don't blink, though, or you might miss her (great legs and all).
Then, there's the relative boldness in what I can only term a historic first for Hallmark Television: the blossoming romance between Luigi the Italian restaurateur and Mrs. Henley; Darcy's widowed African- American landlady. Bravo, Hallmark! It's about time that somebody other than emo(tional) Caucasians got a second chance at depicted happiness in your TV movies.
And, last but not least? Bailey. Who, in their right mind, can resist those big puppy dog eyes?
In short? Nobody should miss any of this movie's encore telecasts, this holiday season. Not even the over-worked Christmas Reviewer!

Atypical Christmas movie
MegaSuperstar9 December 2019
This is a nice christmas movie with an uncommon plot for this kind of movies. Adds a slight mistery to the typical Christmas romance and brings some new perspective by adding a sort of sub plot that benefits the film. Likeable characters and story. A woman knocks out a pedestrian causing him loosing memory. She will have to find out his real identity to get him reunite with his family for Christmas. Worth watching.
Darcy finds romance with a handsome stranger with amnesia.
ronbokirk21 November 2017
This movie features a great performance by Ali Liebert. I have seen her in many supporting roles, and was pleased to see her in the lead role for this one. Pairing her with Peter Porte was a stroke of genius. This movie will be played again at my house. It is well worth re watching. The dog looks very much like "Tank" from a previous Peter Porte movie. Hallmark, please give us more Ali Liebert.

Didn't expect this to be SO good.
MIssM1913 March 2018
I'm glad I finally found the time to watch this movie. Ali Liebert is becoming one of my favorite Hallmark ladies so fast. I like everything she has done so far.
These movies tend to be so predictable but I found myself surprised with a plot twist in the story and that made me extremely happy. I was so invested I didn't see it coming.
I believe that this movie, beside having an aamzing script and plot, worked this much thanks to Peter and specially Ali. I wouldn't have found it to be that good if it have been with Hallmark actors who have more movies than them.
A MUST WATCH.

I like the story of this one. I have seen it done similarly in other seasonal films and in more than a few everyday ones too, but it's done quite nicely here. I think for me it helps that there is a bookshop involved.
When it started I thought that the lead male, Peter Porte was going to find himself on my Crush list, he has a nice smile, but as the film progressed I found him to be a little bit skeletal to look at, so my interest waned slightly. Don't get me wrong he's still doable. I also felt that the female lead belonged in a more teenage story, she seems so very young here. I thought the same when I saw her in 'A Storybook Christmas', but funnily enough she fit perfectly in 'A Christmas Truce' set in World War II. She doesn't grate much here, but they just seemed a bit mismatched. It doesn't stop the romance working, but it just made it slightly less convincing.
Lots of festive things are included and it's shot and acted well.
I will watch it again, but maybe while doing a jigsaw?

Christmas memories come flooding back
Prismark1015 December 2018
Darcy (Ali Lieber) is a young woman that loves books and organising a Christmas display for Chaucer's, the small Philadelphia book shop that she works for.
One morning late for work, Darcy's bicycle collides with a handsome man taking his dog out for a walk.
The man is taken to hospital and has amnesia. Darcy takes care of the dog, not wanting it to be left alone to wander the streets of Philadelphia.
When the man wakes up, Darcy helps the stranger to regain his identity and she also slowly falls for him. In the meantime as the owner of Chaucer's want to spend time with his grandchildren, Darcy steps up and feels ready to take the manager's job and fend off the much bigger competition.
A much sweeter Hallmark festive movie. Gee, everyone is so nice to each other in Philadelphia. The actors are very appealing which makes this one go a long way.

PLEASE BEWARE OF SOME REVIEWERS THAT ONLY HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. I HAVE OVER 400 REVIEWS OF "CHRISTMAS RELATED FILMS & SPECIALS" WHEN ITS A POSITIVE THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. NOW I HAVE NO AGENDA! I REVIEW MOVIES & SPECIALS AS A WAY TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT I HAVE SEEN! I HAVE DISCOVERED MANY GEMS IN MY QUEST TO SEE AS MANY " C H R I S T M A S " MOVIES AS I CAN.
Now Someone keeps reporting my reviews. I guess they are jealous because I do tell the truth. I want to point out that I never make snide remarks about actors weight or real life sexual orientation. If there acting is terrible or limited "I talk about that". If a story is bad "I will mention that" So why am I being "picked on"? IMDB? When one of my reviews gets deleted IMDB will not even tell me what someone found offensive. Well on to this review.
Darcy's lifelong love of reading has led her to the perfect job, working in a small Manhattan bookstore. One day, while bicycling to work, Darcy crashes into Aidan - a sharply dressed gentleman walking his dog. Knocked unconscious, he's rushed to the hospital where he falls into a coma. Deeply shaken, Darcy takes the dog home, waiting to reunite him with his owner, Aidan. As she learns more about Aidan, Darcy realizes he could be the one she has been waiting for. But when the truth is revealed, Darcy learns the picture she created is completely wrong, and that sometimes the truth is even better than fiction.
This film is okay serves the audience it is intended but its nothing special!

A dog is not just for Christmas - but a book is
iranu-741951 November 2020
This film uses the unique and unusual plot device of having a central character lose their memory (or, as in the film: "Doc, you sayin I got aim-knee-jah?" ) Such an inspiring invention should have given the writer an Oscar, but nobody remembered to send a note to the Academy. Good performance from the female lead, who does keep the energy going - her work colleagues also do a fair job of being more than furniture. It seems just about everyone received there own curling tongs and used them every day. The weak link was the Male romantic lead, or Ken Doll, whose looks swung between confused victim and secret axe murderer - just a lttle to much on the creepy side. However it all ended well, like you knew it would.
Observations: Fake snow spraying was quite poor- 3 kids with a pail of marshmallows could have down better
The tail-out music is Claire de Lune by Debussy, which I know well, as would 1000s of piano students - but they "mashed up" the tune to fit their credits which I have never heard in my life. Imagine this: you pay for Blue Suede Shoes by Elvis as your tail-out music and the edit is : "One for the money, two for the ready. Cat get shoes"
One of the Best of Hallmark
charcnc22 December 2017
Darcy runs over a handsome gentleman while riding her bike to work. He develops amnesia, and Darcy bends over backward to help him find out who he is and connect him to his loved ones. It is a cute and amusing Hallmark movie. It doesn't have one of staple plot lines, like the city vs. country conflict, or an evil competing boyfriend. The mystery of finding out about Aiden's life adds nice content. Wonderful chemistry between the leads, and solid supporting characters.
Well....
nemman6326 December 2018
It was kind of nice that the girl was sort of a plain, quirky but sweet girl, and that the guy wasn't some prince, ex-rock star, Tech guru CEO.
Of course he still had to look like he stepped right out of a modeling agency ad and have wash board abs. The woman can be a 5, but the man better be a 10!
I watched another movie where the same actor played a gay priest in an interracial marriage with a newborn baby (even Hallmark has to tweak religious people at Christmas time to push a social agenda), so it was kind of distracting to see him in this.
Overall an ok fluff movie for the Holiday, with extra cheese on top.

Jackbv12327 November 2017
It is hard not to like Darcy. She has a wonderful gift of selflessness. Her modesty complements her tenaciousness. Her outlook is always cheerful and she is kind to everyone. Ali Liebert brings all of this to life.
The story centers around the mystery of who this guy is who lost his memory. He realizes his name is Aiden. Darcy sets out to solve the mystery and goes way out of her way to do it. As Aiden's friend says to him about what she has done - "You would do it, but a normal person wouldn't do it." The team of amateur detectives miss an obvious possibility in their search, but that allowed a better story. Yes I thought there were strong clues, but I still thought it was a good mystery.
Peter Porte and Liebert click together almost too easily. Aiden is also a very likable fellow and he doesn't allow Darcy any blame.
For people like me who avoid conflict, this movie has absolutely no bad guys. Another thing I liked about this movie is we can see what a precious gift real friends can be.
This is a Hallmark movie, so of course there will be heartwarming moments. And personally, I enjoyed every minute of this movie.

Darcy works at a bookstore and on the way to work runs over a gentleman, that she has seen through the window of the bookshop, with her bicycle. Unfortunately, the gentleman suffers from a head injury that causes memory loss. Darcy agrees to take care of his dog (who was with him at the time of the accident) since he will be in the hospital. She then sets out to help mystery man figure out his identity. In the process of helping him find his true identity...Darcy who has truly discerning taste in men(I.e. She wants them to be literate...and like books as much as she does) slowly starts to fall for mystery man even though she thinks he may be on the verge of asking a woman to marry him. She also thinks his name is William A. He thinks his name is Aiden and doesn't seem to identify with many of the items Darcy brings from his home. (He lost his phone and identification in the accident). She has his keys and he had Christmas cards to mail...so a return address.
This was an interesting story based on a romance novel of the same name. The two characters had instant chemistry and I liked that they tried to build a mystery of sorts. I also appreciated the literary quotes and sentiments around knowing more about someone once you know who their favorite authors are and what they like to read.
Overall this was a sweet Hallmark Holliday movie, with a great lead and supporting cast that you should watch at least once.

Where is the dog when she hits him on the bike?!
caitpreston23 November 2018
I love a corny Christmas movie. Don't get me wrong, I can settle for a few unexplained mistakes in production, but this one has me in stitches. When he is walking his dog, and she is coming at him with this bike, the dog magically disappears - don't worry, an extra runs him back onto set a few frames later.
Great lesser known gem.
wkozak2217 December 2019
I watched this when it first came on tv. It is a fun film. The story is good. It unfolds nicely. It keeps you very involved from beginning to end. It makes me long for the bookstores that were owned and run by one person. A special time.
Cute festive romantic comedy with a similar plot
lisafordeay27 November 2023
Warning: Spoilers
A Gift To Remember is a 2017 festive romantic comedy starring Ali Liebert,Peter Porte and Ken Camroux Taylor.
The story follows a young woman named Darcy(Liebert) who works at a bookstore thats about to close down. One day she sees a handsome man with his dog looking at her from the shop window and she is instantly drawn to him. However she bumps into him later with her bike as he was walking his dog and he ends up banging his head off the pavement causing him to have amnesia.
Now at the hospital,Darcy decides to mind his dog and pays him a visit. He thinks that his name is Aiden Harris(Porte), and Darcy tries to help him find out who he is. Was he in a relationship or is he the owner of the new bookstore that's taken over her business?.
Overall I actually enjoyed this one. I knew the guy from this movie as Nicolas from A Cinderella Christmas but didn't know the rest of the cast.

My memory... it's so foggy... I feel like I've been here before
youandmeandhallmarkmakesthree15 December 2020
There's no beating around the bush here - this movie is straight up stalker garbage. Darcy is a young woman who gives some poor mope brain damage, and then gaslights him to fall in love with her. "Let me take your dog home. Are these your keys? Is this your mail? I'll just have a quick look around."
It's said that Keith Richards wrote the opening bars to "Satisfaction" when he woke up in a moment of clarity during a bender. We can imagine a similar story involving the writers at Hallmark, pitchers of eggnog, and a 2am viewing of "While You Were Sleeping."
Score card:
Total: 4/10
