This was barely ok. It just wasn't interesting or in depth at all. Everything was predictable (though improbable). The writers really need to work on their scripting.

Hallmark seems to be stuck in a rut, using the same script over and over.

Beautiful, successful female lead with good job that everyone loves. Her boyfriend is a pompous ass given only trite lines and written so that it's clear that he's going to do something selfish and alienate the heroine. In comes the new man on the scene for some contrived reason and after some requisite dislike, they find they are soul-mates and fall in love. End with heroine misreading the signals and getting ready to leave when new love interest bursts onto the scene to save her. Most of the Christmas movies from Hallmark have the same plot so I guess I shouldn't be surprised that this is no different. The only thing missing is some cheesy snowfall at the end which is required for Christmas movies.

They definitely need a new writing staff.

Not perfect, but wonderful and feel-good. It is the kind of movie you can enjoy alone (even if you're single!) - you don't have to have a date to enjoy it. It is a good movie for a single hopeless romantic. The beginning half had some moments of incredibly brilliant scripting (I laughed or chuckled several times during the movie). The latter half took some stretching of our ability to believe and somewhat less brilliant scripting, BUT, it was always feel-good and good-natured throughout. Generally compassionate and considerate characters throughout as well. So 1.75 thumbs up from me. I was impressed with all of the actors' abilities as the movie progressed. And I am left smiling after the movie and in a good mood! So overall, it was good.
