I really wanted to like Love You Like Christmas, because I was looking forward to seeing Brennan Elliot as the good guy. (I was always secretly rooting for him during Cedar Cove.) While there wasn't anything wrong with his performance, there wasn't much chemistry between him and his costar Bonnie Summerville, and the story itself wasn't very riveting.
This is one of those movies that cast big city folks as cold-hearted villains. Bonnie plays a career woman who prioritizes her work over the spirit of Christmas. She has car trouble; Brennan tries to help her but is rebuffed by a rude attitude. Turns out, she's forced to stay in his small town and bump into him a number of times while waiting for her car to get fixed. The spirit of Christmas can melt even the coldest heart, and can make any woman decide to throw away her career and beautiful apartment for a cottage in the middle of nowhere, right? Only on Hallmark.
