A Christmas to Remember

The screen writing was a cut above the usual fare on the Hallmark channels. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I knew when I saw that Mira Sorvino was the lead it was going to be good. I really dislike how women are usually portrayed, foolish, fly off the handle, just silly. It's a treat to see a woman with some sense. The children were also a treat. I give a lot of credit to the directing. A director can ruin the writing as I sure many writers can attest. This director did a very good job. Cameron does his usual fine performance as he does in everything I've seen him in on the Hallmark Channel. The supporting cast was well selected especially the elderly fellow who shows up to eat from time to time.

While writing for a genre that is formulaic the screen writer avoided some of the pitfalls that usually accompany these types of romances. I would love to see more of the same.
