The over the top dramatic musical score was quite simply, irritating. As was the constant heavy discussion between daughter Liz Darling (Katee Sackhoff), and father Dennis (Terry O'Quinn) who have some emotional issues to overcome since their respective mom/wife passed away.
Ahhh, but when Lara returns home with her own daughter Hannah (Emma Oliver) to take care of their recently acclaimed hero father/grandfather they find quite a bit has changed in the past four (4) years since their absence from their old hometown.
Lara reconnects with her old boyfriend Luke Fletcher (Patrick Sabongui) and they once again become a team to win a local boat parade contest in an effort to save Lara's family home from a bank foreclosure.
I found the film too heavily laden with too much bad news and bad karma before the skies open up and a winter wonderland saves their day. I give this TV Christmas themed film a pass and a 5 out of 10 IMDb rating. Not a fail, but not a WOW moment for me either.
