    Can't picture a more perfect one

    8.3 stars.

    It's gonna be difficult to surpass this. Out of 46 reviews, 'Picture a Perfect Christmas' moves into first place. Will it remain #1 to the end of my Hallmark Christmas journey? It's unlikely, considering this is now the 5th time my #1 has been dethroned.

    This movie is astounding, due to several factors. The most prominent is the dialogue.

    The first time our leads meet, the banter is priceless and the humorous misunderstanding is hilarious. As our leads continue to converse throughout the film, it does not disappoint for a moment. Sophie (Merritt Patterson) and David (Jon Cor) share witty conversation unlike other similar films, but the good conversation isn't limited to them.

    This one is pleasant from start to finish. Jon Cor is a refined actor, and even sporting a somewhat sparse looking beard, somehow his sophistication shines. And how can you not fall in love with Merritt Patterson, she's one of a kind, the sort of woman you write home to momma about hoping she's the one.

    The storyline is clever, and intriguing, and there's never a dull moment. The dialogue and screen presence of the four main actors carries this film to the pinnacle of my personal tastes like no other. Although the plot is fairly mundane, their on-screen interactions and chemistry breathe life into this script. Troy's rendition of a lonely boy shines bright. I look forward to seeing more of him.

    Troy's parents passed away a few years ago in a car accident, so he's being raised by his uncle David. Mrs. Griffith is his favorite nanny, and hasn't seen her granddaughter Sophie very often the past couple years because Sophie has been traveling round the world as a professional photographer. Sophie has a week to spend the holidays with Grandma and she meets David and Troy. From first introduction to final credits she delivers an over-abundance of joy and love - the glue that binds them all.

    Perfect Christmas Movie

    All the ingredients for a perfect Christmas movie come together with this Hallmark offering. Chemistry between leads Cor and Patterson is very believable and makes for a lovely movie. A cute kid being a kid and not a whining adult moves the story in the right direction. And an adorable dog is always a plus.

    Yes, Hallmark got it right this time. Santa will not forget you.

    Cliche, yes.. familiar plot, yes- BUT IT WORKED

    Well done to all the actors especially the first four listed under the movie title (on a completely different topic, IMDB should've also included a thumbs down to the actors we do not follow or care for since they decided to take down the message boards and we all know it was politically motivated). Ok back to movie, the main leads were perfect together, she's so adorable and male lead was so handsome. The little boy was cute as a button and I thought he did a great job. The actor who played the grandmother, I remember her from another Christmas movie where she's the matriarch of a very wealthy family, I loved her in that movie and I loved her in this one too. Again I say, well done to all involved in this project- it's just a shame Hallmark can't shoot all of the Christmas movies in an actual cold climate, I must say I'm so sick of fake snow! Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed this particular movie!!!

    Christmassy Goodness!

    One of this years Hallmark Christmas offerings, Merritt Patterson and Jon Cor take the leads in this warm Christmas jumper, feel warm and fuzzy film. Sophie returns home (someone is always returning home in these films) to look after her Grandma, David lives next door to Grandma with his nephew Troy (there's often a child involved as well). The spirit of Christmas is in full force, these two good looking people find each other, find love, find a family, find out how to celebrate Christmas properly. Standard Hallmark fare but also a lovely watch on a Sunday afternoon whilst the weather is rubbish outside.

    Me and Shell googled Hallmark towns and are planning a Christmas tour of these type of towns later on when we have money to afford it. Hallmark I am hooked on your Hot Chocolately goodness. You are my first sign of Christmas approaching, when you start to land on Christmas 24.

    The scale of 20 for normal films does not apply for Hallmark films, instead we have a Christmas Bauble scale and this one receives a big ole shiny bauble, not a little tree space filler.
