It was SO nice to see Alexa without her husband. She shines much better with other leading men. Storyline was good. I like Luke but can't help but always picture his as Scotty in Brothers and Sisters. Storyline was rather predictable. Loved the scenery.
The professional athlete getting help with rehab from a romantic opposite is not the most common trope. It's also a nice touch to make it a pro from a tough guy sport being put with children to learn ballet. Despite the first blush impression of ballet, those people are every bit as athletic as any pro athlete in a major sport and it is especially torturous for the dancer's feet. But after the set up, things go pretty much as you'd expect. The teacher's studio is in trouble and you just know the celebrity athlete is going to do something to help. There are different possibilities as to what that might be, however. One minor twist in the story is that there's another potential pro hockey player that comes into play.
Jenna's backstory is revealed a little at a time and it is a sympathetic one. What I liked about Jenna is that she was always even tempered, even cheerful. You can see how this character would be an inspiration.
I had mixed reactions to Alexa Penavega's Hallmark performances in the past, some very negative. But in this movie I found her character very appealing and her acting decent, if a bit restrained. I love Luke Macfarlane and he fits the hockey player role very well. Together they had very good chemistry, but not quite sizzling.
The climax and ending are sappy and predictable in general terms. As I mentioned, there were maybe a couple of other possibilities. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it.

It's nice to see Alexa without her real life husband (which is extremely rare). When they perform together it always seems like they over act. No on screen chemistry. I think it's because they force it and it just doesn't work for me. Anything with Luke macfarland works for me and he was good again. I might say chateau Christmas was a stretch because there was nothing to the script. Iwould watch this again while predictable it was enjoyable. Not like Alexa love boat knock off or some of the others with her husband.
Hallmark movies are a...lets go with special, kind of movies. Often way too cheesy and and gooey. Although this one does have one of the classic Hallmark-plots the chemistry and acting between Alexa and Luke are amazing.
Surprisingly great romcom.
