We're fans of Candace Cameron Bure. My favorite of her Christmas movies is probably the one where she is a nurse who travels forward in time.
I just found this film to be uninspiring. I understand she had an awakening to family in the small town, and good for that character. However, nothing about the story carried enough weight or tension to involve my interest. Even her meeting with the cliched "break up ex" just wasn't there -- probably because no actor in the entire movie ever expressed any strong emotion -- and that's been a "Hallmark" of this year's Hallmark Christmas films.
This movie isn't a waste of time, if you had NOTHING better to watch, but it's not anything we'll care to watch a second time.
