Fais un vœu pour Noël

This is a Hallmark holiday romance between two high school rivals and Angel Falls natives, Hannah and Ryan. The two unite to try to sign a retired author to Hannah's family publishing business during the holidays.

There are actually angels in this holiday romance that can freeze time....just thought I would mention the elephant in the room!

Otherwise these are two very attractive people who have always seemed to like one another, who get a second chance to clear up misunderstandings and get to know one another...and guess what? They are both nice AND they like each other.

Christmas backdrop for this young attractive couple to fall in love. If that is your thing, this is for you...but otherwise a middle of the road romance with no surprises.

Hannah and Ryan were friends when they were young, then they grew apart when he moved and he got the job she wanted. Now, he is back in town and Leslie's mom hires him as a "special consultor" at the little publishing company.

This was okay. Nothing to do with the original Angel Falls. In fact, it could be seen without watching the other one first. They do share the city and the concept, but that's it. I like Jen Lilley, I think she is great. But, honestly, i'm getting tired of her. I want Hallmark to expand their leads a little. My favourite part was Carlo Marks. His character was very cheerful. I also thought they had great chemistry.

I do think that the Angel character was completely unnecessary in this case. We could have had the same result withouth him. He was the "listening" ear to Hannah.

The blurb for this movie sounds MUCH better than what the writers managed to turn out.

I could never find any chemistry between the leads, and the Scrooge-like face and attitude of the "author to be helped" was just a turn off for most of the movie. And of course, the plot is really nothing more than a random collection of familiar cliches, prominent among them the male lead's decision between small-town happiness and big city success.

The female lead was never anything but irritating to me. She alternated between self-pity and forced perkiness, and I don't think the writers even meant to write a manic-depressive.

Yuck.

FYI Jen Lilley had her baby on set with her so she wasn't pregnant. She looked amazing. I disagree I felt the leads had chemistry and the story line was typical Hallmark. I do agree this year they had way too many movies this year and I can't quite remember most of them after they air. Only a handful did I think were amazing. Often I find when I see the movies again I enjoy them more and more over the years.

I read a review and it states it was filmed in North Bay. My mother grew up there so I love seeing the area. I visited my Grandma when I was very young over 45 years ago so my memory is faint. I only remember her house and the snow. They owned a store on Main Street (Harry Mulligan) that has since burned down.

Same town a different angel and a cute couple. Gabby in the first one was working on town to find Christmas spirit again and she had a lot of enthusiasm to get that change to occur. Don't expect the same. The angel is working in the background in this one. it's a cute movie. Jen Lilly has playing insecurity to almost neurotically annoying. She's the main reason why I didn't give it more stars. But she does get better as her character begins to interact more with the love interest. If you like hallmark movies give it a watch but not worth a rewatch in my opinion.
