Un duo magique pour Noël

Wow! Rome Flynn is gorgeous! What a smile!

I like this film, I'm not sure it's possible to achieve all that they do in just 6 days, but it's got an upbeat vibe and the song is a positive one for a change.

They manage to incorporate a lot of characters without compromising on the leading romance and how it builds and it's also full of the great things that make Christmas special.

This is a pretty average story with no real highs or lows. I stayed with it hoping for more singing. The two do a pretty nice job on one song, but it also didn't bowl me over. A day later, I'm not still carrying the tune around in my head as in some cases.

Chaley Rose and Rome Flynn have a natural familiarity that you'd expect from old flames. I was surprised by how little animosity there was given their breakup. Chiara Zanni plays an interesting Susie. Some people will hate her, but I enjoyed her. Some of my reviews rave about "quirky" characters. I've always liked Teryl Rothery in her supporting roles, but she disappointed me in this one. I thought her character was too inconsistent. I think the actress felt that and it seeped through to her performance.

Everything looks so pretty - kudos to the art director. The reason I only have this a 4 is because the story hardly held my interest. I found myself wondering when it would end. There were too many scenes with people just standing around talking. I think the script was most at fault. Not enough in there to care about what was happening. The acting was much ado about nothing. Chaley was gorgeous but looked more like a frozen statue that occasionally came to life. There was no chemistry between her and Rome. At one point she looked so uncomfortable with his arm around her, she looked as if she was seeking a way to escape.

There is something about a Chaley Rose's voice that is so soothing. Just saw her in my Best Friends Bouquet the other day. She can pull off the silliest dialogue with that calm voice. I liked her sidekick too. Calmed down an anxious mood for me. My rating very generous, but need to offset some of those really low ones. Not that bad guys

Beautiful scenery and a good, enjoyable story.

This is one that I could watch again during the winter holidays Rating scaled for the genre and category.
