Christmas by Starlight

Annie is a family lawyer, Will is a bussiness man. His company is tearing down her family business so when she goesto talk to him, he "hires" her to be his advisor for a week so that he can get his father off his back.

Really enjoyable movie. Predictable? Yes, as usual. It's my second movie of the day and probably that's why i'm giving this a 8, and not appreciating this enough. I love Kimberley Sustad and Paul Campbell together, they are a great pair. They have amazing chemistry and besides they were part of the production of the story, which makes it 100 times better for me. Actors getting involved in the production deliver (same with Robert Buckley): we get a nice story, bits of their real life in both of them, and funny banter.

I hope I do not sound repetitive, but i'm really happy with the diverse cast.

My only problem with this is a technical aspect: Annie, as a lawyer, shouldn't have made a contract or a written agreement? It was literally my first thought when they made the arrangement.

I hope they work together again.

When I read the story line I was a bit disappointed but these two did a great job and saved the movie from another predictable story line. They have great chemistry and had me laughing much more than most hallmark movies.

I like it for the crumbs of humor, nice acting, for fair portrait of maturization and the accent to family history and values. For the fresh ingenuity of story, to. And, not the last, for leading characters, well crafted, wise used. To be honest, exactly the honesty remains the main virtue of this different, in some measure, in inspired way, Hallmark film. Nothing fundamental changed but the story is more rich in nuances than you expect. So, I admitt, I like it.

The heir to a development company needs a legal babysitter according to his father and when he mistakes Annie for said legal babysitter he strikes a bargain with her to fake his legal council in return for him renewing the lease on her parents Starlight Cafe.

Annie's dog is named after Charles Dickens because Great Expectations destroyed her when she read it. Off the cuff our developer, William Holt, quotes Dickens, "I loved her, against promise, against reason, against hope, against all discouragement that could be."

When Annie gets William out of legal trouble with the preservation society she gets stuck putting on a high end fund raiser at her parents cafe The Starlight.

Can William hold up his end of the bargain?

There was cute banter in this fun loving holiday romance. In fact these two were both comedy and romantic gold.

"So what's your move, hotshot?"-William.

The best dialog of any of the Hallmark movies. Reminds me of snappy repertoire from the old classic movies. Good job writers and lead actors.
