A '90s Christmas

Perfect Christmas time travel movie.

This is about a successful lawyer who revisits her past. It's all very mysterious as to why or how this is happening.

The music is excellent and moves the story along. The acting is spot on perfectly executed. Is emotional at times but never over the top Not so complex that you have to be glued to the screen. Is an easy viewing. I recommend giving it a chance. Nostalgia can be a lot of fun. And you might not be able to time travel. Although if you have lost touch or neglected an old friend or relative you can call and reconnect and let them know you care.

As a house pro at our local poolroom, I tried to find out who actually shot the pool shots, thinking I might know them, but I can't find any reference to them. Could've just been hand models, both male and female, but the film looked halfway believable, unlike many pool shots in movies.

I enjoyed the movie. Don't we all wish we could go back and fix certain things? The females were cute and believable, and the guy really aged well. One thing I don't like in casting is the mom is blonde and the daughters are dark haired. It happens all the time. Yes, the mom might be dyed, but it just doesn't look cohesive. But that's just my own OCD pet peeve. Very enjoyable movie.

I am fan of time travel movies. I couldn't find the elements of surprise and suspense in the story line bcz most of it was predictable.

Furthermore, the landmarks. It was shot in Canada and a scene that shows the transition from "Nicola Tesla road" in Hamilton, ON to a bridge in Turkey (Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge (Third Bosphorus Bridge)) which is used to showcase Chicago/Milwaukee, doesn't make sense. Any body would identify that Chicago/Milwaukee don't have such bridge. Don't confuse it with the bridge in San Francisco because it is not.

Otherwise it was a good movie for its genre. I recommend it over other Christmas movies.

The look of all the 90s "kids" really took me out of the story. Not only Lucy and Matt but also the sister and best friend look like they're at least in their mid-twenties. None of these people look like they should be playing teens OR 40+ year olds. I had fully expected different actors when we jumped back 25 years(!!) in time. One really has to wonder why it was done this way, because it's baffling and utterly distracting.

I'm not even getting into time travel paradoxes here, because for something that had the 90s as a hook, it was quite sloppy on that end as well.

The premise wasn't bad but the result is.

When I saw a 90s Christmas movie coming to Hallmark, I was all in. I graduated in 98, and that decade is everything, especially music-wise.

This movie was not even close to what i thought it would be. Lucy was not likable at all. She treated her family and friends poorly. And really didn't learn any lessons until the movie's last five minutes. It was vexing.

Lucy knew she treated those people poorly but didn't really try to remedy that. I get the death of a father. It sucks, and everyone grieves differently, but isolating her mom and sister was rough to watch.

The chemistry between her and her ex was lacking. Overall, the storyline wasn't strong, and it is not worth a rewatch.
