Storyline

Kim Ross (Witt), an aspiring romance novelist, finds herself unceremoniously dumped by her soon-to-be-published romance novelist boyfriend, Garth. She decides to take a leap and signs up for a romance writing retreat at a quaint Vermont Inn shortly before Christmas. There, a top romance novelist is scheduled to attend. Shortly after Kim's arrival she meets Zeke, whom she finds to be intrusive. As luck would have it, he ends up being her assignment partner and worse yet, the ex-boyfriend is also at the retreat. Despite various bumps Kim manages to step outside her comfort zone, surprising herself. Even more surprising is the unstoppable attraction that seems to be building between her and Zeke, that will change her life in ways she never imagined. Based on the bestselling novel by Richard Paul Evans.

Trivia

Between 7-9 mins in the movie there is a cut scene of a street lined with Holiday Wreaths, this cut scene is not of a place in British Columbia, it is actually filmed in a town in the United States. South Main St. Phillipsburg, New Jersey, for those who live here it is easy to pick out the familiar Stockton St. Street sign and the Signs in the background for The River of Life Church and other known town sites. They have a little debate going locally that really could have been settled by the producers adding in a note to the credits that indeed at least on scene came from the good ole USA in Phillipsburg NJ.

Goofs

Although they were supposed to meet for dinner in the foyer at 7:00pm, the grandfather clock in the background behind Zeke shows 9:53 when Kim comes down the stairs.

User Reviews

Alicia Witt plays Alicia Witt

The plot and characters are unremarkable because it's a Hallmark Christmas movie. Cozy small town girl with a Dad-confidant is wowed by something. All that's needed is the reconciliation with an old high school boyfriend. Enough said. This time, it's Alicia Witt chewing the scenery. I lost count of the number of times she said "WOW"! Regardless of the role, Ms Witt delivers every performance exactly the same, and this is no different. She talks with the corners of her mouth pinched together and the rest of her mouth squeaks out the words in that oh-so- cutesy way that she does in all her movies. Maybe if the role had gone to someone else, that 3 rating would have been higher, but I simply can't get past Witt and her charmless delivery.
