A new take on the idea of twin sisters exchanging lives at Christmas time. Hallmark somewhat made it work, a couple of years ago, with Candace Cameron Bure.
Past the unbelievable reality that a husband and two children would not tell their wife and mother from a twin, the story moves well, the situations feel real enough, and the ending , albeit predictable, is on line with Christmas spirit. Overall, the movie is captivating and worth your time.

I was a little apprehensive about this one - since it looked really close to Switched for Christmas. BUT it actually wasn't bad. Pretty much the same premise with a few subtle differences. While the storyline was totally ridiculous (as was Switched for Christmas), it has a good holiday feel to it. I enjoyed it - looking past some of the obvious flaws: Sophia - as Kaelyn - kind of starts dating a guy - but Kaelyn is married with kids. Kaelyn's husband and kids don't realize it's not their mother - and generally don't see much wrong with Sophia's - as Kaelyn - behavior or quirks. Kaelyn is able to seamlessly do Sophia's job for which she has no training. AND MORE... It's just a movie you watch to get lost in reality. That's why we're watching - right?
I am getting tired of films whose plot is based on a an idiotic decision. They could easily avoid all these conception (breaking a dozen of laws being the least of it) by just telling the truth. Since the hubby and kids would be away and since Kay would be de facto substituting for her sister in her job what would be easier than just telling to their family/job that they would be exchanging homes with their sister? I gave it a 3/10 only for... I don't know. The plot deserves a zero.
The premise starts out as a copy of the Switched for Christmas movie of 2017. After that, I can't even compare it because I can't wrap my head around how ridiculous it was.
I agree with another reviewer that there was no good reason for it in the first place. If you want to destress, you don't go to work in a job you never had before. Maybe Sophia's reason almost made sense, but why keep it up when the kids return. Sophia was beyond irresponsible in starting a romantic relationship when she's supposed to be married, even given that irresponsible was her norm. There are so many other ridiculous choices by both twins. I agree with the same reviewer - "Just tell them", especially Sophia to Patrick as things developed there.
The story was too chaotic for me mostly going back to the question why for almost everything.
I saw no chemistry between romantic interests which was difficult to begin with because identifying who they were was confusing. I wasn't impressed with Sarah Lind in this movie. I don't think she clearly defined her characters. They seemed to run together, but some of that might have been that the director did a poor job of always giving the opposite twins distinctive features (if hair color is the same, then how about hair style, or clothes) as scenes switched.
It sure would have been fun to hire a lawyer to sue James because even though technically employment almost always has a clause that technically allows any reason for termination of salaried workers, Sophia had plenty of ammunition to make a good case for wrongful termination.

Sarah Lind pulls off playing twin sisters who switch places. Sounds hokey, but it's but better than GACs "Much Ado About Christmas". Not the best but it works, the single sister in San Diego, CA changes places with her separated sister with kids in Hudson, OH. Clunky in places just like Hallmark movies, but the script and cast pull it off and it works.
If GAC keeps going like this they will rival Hallmark.
