Never Kiss a Man in a Christmas Sweater

I'm a fan of both Ashley and Niall. They both bring credibility to any project they are in. However, lately Ashley has apparently heard or read once too often about her own famous megawatt smile. Some of her scenes have a definite "insert smile here" feel. This was well made and Hallmark pulled out their A-Game for two of their most popular stars. They put a little more work into the plot, this time. Not one of their cookie cutter jobs, although they couldn't resist the usual flirty snowball fight. However, truth be told, the story was a little boring, and Ashley's character was a little too sweet and good. Sometimes her behavior with grumpy-pants Niall was kind of cringeworthy. She just would not leave him alone. For me it did not rise past the slightly above average rating. Kudos for having her ex-husband and his wife make appearances and her daughter was very appealing. Oh, and I do like Brandon Zub. He needs more starring roles. Oh Oh. The search for the out of print book was true to life and exactly right. Loved that.

Feels artificial or she comes across,overly excited about everything. Even in serious roles,it doesn't seem sincere. Hallmark needs to rethink casting,for some movies.. Overuse of the same actors,locations or storyline gets boring. Just a bit mixed over the review of this movie,didn't hate it but nothing special. Have found myself watching Lifetime,more with their holiday selections.

I really enjoyed this movie.

It was sweet and had a nice feel good to it. Touched the heart.

The cast was great and I liked the main leads together.

Being ex military and spending time away, this touched my heart.

It was a really nice movie.

Maggie accidentaly hurts Lucas while she is carring a Christmas Tree. So, feeling guilty, she offers him to stay at a cottage she usually rents. While there, Lucas, who lost the Christmas spirit (as usual), joins Maggie in her activities: helping those in need.

That's it, that's the "plot", it's quite plain, but enjoyable nonetheless. Niall Matter and Ashley Williams, the duo we didn't know we needed. They had good chemistry, and after watching so many movies with them I don't get tired.

The whole movie is predictable, including the ending, and we can't forget that moment in which one character assumes something they shouldn't (please, stop it). There was one scene, one of the last ones, which was emotional, and that alone gain one more star. I also really liked the fact that the relationship developed quite naturally.

Nothing extraordinary, but quite sweet, if you like Hallmark movies, I totally recommend it.

Went into this expecting a classic, silly Christmas movie (of which there are a ton), but I have been very pleasantly surprised.

I congratulate the movie makers and the actors for creating a movie that actually felt real. Everything line of the movies was like real, every day people talk, instead of the eye rolling lines you usually hear.

Good movie!
