    I would watch it again

    I am a HUGE Hallmark movie fan and this one did not disappoint. My only complaint was the little girl. Why was she wearing red lipstick? She was not a very likable child, but she didn't distract from the story.

    nice

    That nice Christmas film who you expect. But not enterly the familiar mix of cookies and cocoa and one of motifs is the good acting, the chemistry between lead actors, the other, the story itself, proposing a game of roles and the romance , expected but more seductive builded. And, sure, the clues for the end. So, nice. In lovely manner.

    Nice story

    But I did wonder how old the little girl Finley was meant to be ! In some scenes she acted like a 6 year old, then with her hairstyle, pearl earrings and wearing lipstick all the way through the film made her look years older - like a miniature 30 year old. A pleasant enough watch

    Cosy Christmas Movie

    Very watchable for a Christmas movie. These are always predictable so need to be entertaining along the way and this was. I didn't take to the child, and certainly not as quick as she did to the nanny. I would have expected a bit of suspicion especially as it was a man, and acceptance was too quick imo.

    The acting was good.

    It's like watching a recording of a soccer game when you know the result. You know how it ends and only worth watching for the entertainment.

    Okay, my review is too short apparently and I need to have more content. So I will add the numerous scene with the snowman building. Quite funny.

    One of the Better Hallmark Romances

    I thoroughly enjoyed this film. It is one of the better Hallmark films.

    It had a more unique plot with great lead and other characters.

    It is getting tiresome to see the same plots on so many of the Hallmarks.

    Some reviewers seem to be so critical of some actors. These reviewers appear to want all their characters to be the same. I view those characters to be fake.

    People are unique. So, it is refreshing to see unique characters.

    I enjoy the diversity in characters, so I felt the characters in this film were great.

      They show the scene of Taylor and Finley reading books on the couch in the living room, showing a decorated Christmas tree to the right and behind Finley. Then Celeste leaves with her date for dinner, but tells him that she needs to stop first - at a Christmas tree lot to get a tree! Editing screwed up the order of those scenes.
