I love this movie so much
One of my all time favorites.
Absolutely the worst movie.
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
I will give this movie credit for having maybe one of the most horrible breakups ever, making Stephanie "homeless".I would also say that the story premise was somewhat unusual except that Hallmark had the exact same premise the same year as this movie. Still those are the only two movies I've seen with it out of hundreds I've watched.But beyond the premise, the story was not good. And the dialogue was also bad. I especially hated the heart to heart conversations each of the leads had with the innkeepers. And in the first 1/3rd of the movie, Stephanie was so annoying, crabby, and rude, that I wanted to shut off the movie. Her behavior ran deeper than just a bad breakup. Then suddenly she was empathetic and caring.Mayim Bialik has so much experience but in this movie she delivered her lines like an amateur. It looked like she was trying too hard. Ryan McPartlin was better but there was still no chemistry between them and certainly no reason for him to do what he did. Reginald VelJohnson and Jo Marie Payton were also bad. Again it was like they were trying too hard. Perhaps it was the direction that made it look the same for all of them.
I think this movie is perfect for a Christmas afternoon. It is very relaxing, no violence at all. It is the classical story of two people lost in a storm ( well you will not see too much of the storm,though) who end up by having a good time together. I must admit that i liked watching it, drinking a nice cup of chocolate and thinking that Cinderella stories still exist. I strongly recommend it for a quiet relaxing morning or afternoon. I underline that it is not a masterpiece at all and the scenario is pretty plausible. DO not set too many high hopes on it, it will not make your brain work to find i don't know what hidden meaning in it... but....sometimes we all need to watch something relaxing and nice. enjoy!
Two people meet on a flight from LA back East. She has recently been dumped and he is an a long distance relationship. But of course romance ensues.The dialog is a bit more interesting than the usual Christmas TV movie. There seems to be a subtle message about compatibility of personality over looks. " This is Mayim Bialik's movie. For fans of "Big Bang Theory" where she plays Amy Farrah Fowler - it's a treat to see her. Usually Lifetime or Hallmark Christmas movies don't feature lead romantic actresses who look like or are shaped like her. It's nice to see someone like her leading this type of movie. Ryan McPartlin of "Chuck" is a good enough comedic actor to make his role believable. If you are going to watch one Xmas movie this year this is a good choice.
This is the basic Lifetime formula: 1: Heartbreak forces change. 2: Conflict arrives and provides humor. 3: Fate forces conflict into attraction. 4: Guilt causes a separation. 5: True love finds a way.The writing was garbage but probably not because Lifetime Writer Jennifer Shapiro has a dozen Christmas theme plots under her belt. The terrible direction left actors fumbling for realism atop of the bland dialogue - (again) probably not because Lifetime Director Peter Sullivan has a dozen Christmas themed plots under his belt. The film was littered with gimmicks; from having a 'Family Matters' reunion with Jo Marie Payton and Reginald VelJohnson, to Mayim Bialik landing in Bozeman, Montana which was a Sheldon episode on 'The Big Bang Theory'. There's not much more to say other than what this summary's title states, "It's A Lifetime Movie". Most people understand Lifetime is a 4 letter word in the acting community, which is obvious in Brian Doyle-Murray's decision to remain uncredited in the film.I'm giving it a 3 out of 10 for the sterile production, lack of direction, bad writing and actors stumbling all over the place begging for something to work with. Mayim Bialik is a dear, I love her, but she shouldn't need to take every role that drops in front of her.
