Deliver by Christmas

6/10 - small town baker meets sweet single dad in this better than average Hallmark holiday feature

This is my 4th Hallmark Christmas movie of the 2020 season. I would put it towards the top of the list. I like the title of another review on here: 'You've got phone'. Indeed, most of the dialogue between the two leads was via their mobile phones. That said, it did not take away from their chemistry, I think. I thought Alvina August was great in this regard. I have not seen Eion Bailey too often in Hallmark films, but his performance was decent. The supporting cast was also very good. Again, the plot/storyline was what I expected from a Hallmark film. The movie provided some Christmas spirit, though not as strong as some of the better Hallmark Christmas films of the past. Overall, a good start to the 2020 Christmas movie season by Hallmark.

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!

Surprising, I liked it . Very much. Sure, no surprises but a lot of sweetes, nice portrait of single father , his brother family, the relation between sisters and Christmas spirit in its pure senses , gingerbread houses and seductive humor. But, sure, the couple Alvina August - Eion Bailey is just charming and the young Kesler Talbot gives just a beautiful role, reminding, a little but in beautiful - precise manner, Charles Dahl s Charlie. A good flavor of cinnamon seems be the heart of this seductive Christmas film, not extraordinary but, for few modest motives, just comfortable.

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
