    A bit bland

    My favourite character in this whole film was the brother. Lol loved how perceptive he was and the dialogue . Everyone else was so annoying. The lead girl,the cousin and that annoying as F aunty. Wanted to slap her . I wasn't quite sure if the lead girl liked the guy . She was so fake with those damn giggles and did not seem genuinely in love with the guy. She seemed to be so pissed at the ex fiance even though she claimed that they were already falling out of love long b4 they broke up. I also believe the fake fiance had been in love with her for years even b4 she got engaged to the ex fiance . He didn't seem too broken about having a hand in her failed engagement

    More makeup than snow

    First let me say I do not like these movies with a leading lady with so much makeup on that it makes the Christmas tree totally superfluous. If this is the new kind of it girl I quit. I prefer a more natural "washed face" look in Christmas movies (see Northern lights of Christmas) with more agreeable people a nicest characters. Plot is silly -as much as female main character who wants to have a "Christmas wedding" for no particular reason other than caprice- as the leading lady is. Her character is irritating and not likable at all. Even her interior designer work is dull and bad developed -after looking at her new designed fiancee's home who should stay in? and I found her competition in design with her ex-boss rather miserable for a Christmas movie.

    Hey Yo Peeps, Am loving the reviews here. So happy not alone in thinking this couple should be more. The storyline is OK, but the acting superseded the story. thanks for one of the reviewers I like knowing they are indeed friends. Super glad many are aware of the lighting brilliant connection with daniel and jessica for I am one of those fans. I wanted additional in the popcorn stringing part where they throw the popcorn at one another and have fun closing with tight hugs and kisses too. When she got the job he should of while hugging her twirl her then close with a kiss. when daniel said his grown affection for all things Christmas. I would replace that with daniel's grown affections for ALL things jessica. daniel and jessica are my prime couple for hallmark. jessica and daniel are admirable, adorable, alluring, angelic, appealing, beauteous, bewitching, captivating, charming, classy, comely, cute, dazzling, delicate, delightful, divine, elegant, enthralling, enticing, excellent, exquisite, fair, fascinating, fetching, fine, foxy, good- looking, gorgeous, graceful, grand. looking to see them in all festive movies or any shows. Happy Holidays Everyone.

    An enjoyable comedy of errors

    A nice change of pace from the usual Christmas romance plot. A lively plot, well acted with some sparks and pizazz by likeable lead characters. Don't want to say too much more for fear of spoiling some of the plot twists. I'll just say that it was a pleasure to watch.

    Almost... but not quite there.

    I am a sucker for the Hallmark formula, but this film was lacking in emotion. Unfortunately, the decorations had more soul than the leading lady.

    Though this film could have been better; it really wasn't that bad.

      The last thing Layla does before the house viewing is to hang a red bow on the column next to the stairway. When the developer views the house, the red bows are gone.
    • Quotes

      Layla O'Reilly: Oh, what I wouldn't give to be poor Layla, not engaged Layla who actually isn't.

      Seth Murphy: Wait, so what are you saying? The wedding's off?

      Layla O'Reilly: I'm gonna need you to take this seriously. Okay, how do we deal with this? What do I tell my Dad, and my brother, and my entire family?

      Seth Murphy: I'll tell them I did it on a dare. The party was so much fun I got wedding fever.

      Layla O'Reilly: Of course, you can't tell them the real reason is because you felt sorry for me.

      Seth Murphy: That's not the wording I'd use.
