I love Hallmark movies, & this just became far & above my all time favorite!! I love Bethany Joy Lenz & am always excited for the new Hallmark movies she comes out in! And Kristoffer Polaha is also fantastic!! So I was already excited to see this, & it exceeded my already high hopes for it, & I'm so glad it did! The movie had an amazing classic feel & it was beautiful!! The story was fantastic & the setting was beautiful!! And I loved that they used Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas by Judy Garland, it's my favorite Christmas song & it added to the feel of the movie!! I predicted the ending early on, but that didn't take away from the movie at all! I absolutely loved it & it was perfect!

I love Hallmark movies! This one was cute! And I absolutely love that it was in London! And I usually always love the Will Kemp Hallmark movies, so I was excited for this one! However, Will does an American accent for this movie and it was not good, & also incredibly distracting! It detracted from the movie which is incredibly unfortunate because otherwise I really enjoyed it! I also think for some reason doing the accent was causing him to hold his face &/or body differently, making him look stiff & awkward & unfortunately it was a distraction all throughout the movie. Will has an excellent English accent & to me it felt like they should have just altered the script & not had his character be American and it would have completely fixed the issue. I definetly think this was a poor choice by the people making the movie to not just correct the movie by altering a story line that really didn't impact the movie in any way in order to improve the final product. I would have rated it higher, if it weren't for the accent issue. Unfortunately that will also lower the rewatchability for me since it detracts so much from the movie. I'll still rewatch it, but that will definetly give me pause & I'll watch it less than I otherwise would have. If you can get past the distraction of the bad accent, the movie is very cute & the London setting is excellent!!
