Meet Me at Christmas

Good witch star, Catherine Bell, meets GCB star, Mark Deklin, as a teen at a Christmas resort. In classic Love Affair/Affair To Remember style they agree to meet at the tree for the tree lighting ceremony and one of them doesn't show up...fast forward to meeting again at her son's wedding to his niece. The two must pull together and put together the wedding of his nieces dreams when the wedding coordinator quits for a celebrity elopement and her parents flight is delayed...and all of this takes place at the original site of their first meeting. Nice slow build love story with beautiful Christmas backdrop(kudos to the prop workers and set designers!). Also Catherine Bell and Mark Deklin were really very sweet together...another feel good Hallmark classic!

This was an interesting story (albeit done before) but IMO it could've been written differently. The leads Catherine Bell and Mark Deklin have a meet-cute, love at first sight type encounter when they're in their teens and upon meeting later in life, Deklin's character reacts as you might imagine, while Bell's does not. There are some interesting and touching moments, but I would have rather seen them being uncontrollably drawn to each other while trying to hide their previous meeting, instead Bell's repeated brush off attempts don't fit with the story line making her character unlikable. The acting is good here but I think the writing missed the mark.

It was not the best, but it was ok. Gave it 7 stars just because it was a safe movie for my family to watch.

6/10 - second chance at love Hallmark flick is worth a watch

This movie was one of Hallmark's best this year. Good chemistry between the lead actors, interesting storyline, and beautiful location.
