Picture a Perfect Christmas

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.

This was a lovely movie, sweet and charming. It had a nice feel good to it and had two Christmas tree decorating parts which is always a win win haha. I watched this as part of my Christmas movie challenge and im glad I did as I really enjoyed it.

This is movie 14 out of 100 for my challenge.

I will watch it again.

Charming is the fair term to define it. For the good job of Luke Roessler and Paula Shaw, for the few spices making the familiar recipe more atractive and for the reasonable portrait of romance. The result - beautiful film, lovely story.

I liked this story. The kid was cute and it was something different. The guy wearing 2 different shoes to work was not believable and at some points it was boring but overall it was good.

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.
