I just couldn't get past the bad acting or artificially sweet storyline. I like to get invested in the characters and get swept into the story of any movie I watch (especially a Christmas movie!) but for the entire movie I felt like I was watching amateur actors pretending to be uninteresting characters telling an unrealistic story. The only saving grace was Cheryl Ladd but she can neither carry the movie alone or make up for the bad acting or flawed storyline. If this movie ever comes on again, I will definitely pass. It's very evident that this is not a Hallmark movie and in fact feels more like a wannabe knockoff. Sorry, I tried to like it. I just couldn't.
