Deliver by Christmas

I looove Eion B. I saw a lot of stuff with him and that's why I watched this one. He's just so yes, sexy :) And here he was so... So grumpy and bored?? He said so many lines like he didn't want to say them. The phone conversations were the best. Alvina is new to me, she was the light of this movie. Really pretty and good with emotions. The chr. Tree moment was really promising and then something was missing. Too bad! And indeed, the final moment when they met, was awkward and too short.

As a man of a certain age, I have come to appreciate anything that celebrates kindness, decency, virtue and honor. Most guys complain about watching Hallmark with their wives. Not me. Hallmark has been a breath of fresh air from long ago. With that said, my thoughts are this; with one exception, the cast was awesome. As mentioned before me, the new spin of having the leads instantly being attracted to each other, yet taking a circuitous route to connecting, is a nice touch. My lone quibble is Eion Bailey. The persona he presents seems sullen and disconnected, with an underlying sense of anger, to everyone around him. He musters up kindness only when confronted. Usually, when the leads finally unite, there's a sense of joy. Not in this case. Alvina August radiates a glow through the whole movie. You can't help but root for her, but Mr. Bailey never, in my opinion, generated any chemistry with her. So when the movie ended, it was like.......meh, what other Hallmark movie have we got recorded. Even so, the movie was quite good. I just don't believe I'll watch it when it hits the rerun cycle later

Cute story line. Liked the main actors, but perhaps a little TOO much of the misunderstood "he was on a date with another woman" aspect! The child actor was amazing & down to earth sincere! Loved seeing the "Canadian" touch with Charlie wearing a Hudson Bay Striped scarf!! Like to see more of these two actors together, please!

This movie was a bit flat on acting in addition to having that predictable story line. It was one we watched without feeling the need to follow every moment.
