To All a Good Night

This has to be one of the best Hallmark movies they have presented in a long time.

The story line is original and fun with moments that touch the heart in the ways that Hallmark did long ago.

Sadly, over the years it seems like Hallmark has tried to put out too many movies during the holidays and they've become to formulaic and boring. Despite this year being another year of too many movies, this one actually has a beautiful story. The connections within the community and how one individual could touch so many lives even after he is gone is beautifully done.

This story also has some great actors. The actors and actresses did a fantastic job. The characters are easy to connect with as well as the fun fur friend keeping them on their toes. I also loved the inclusion of the deaf husband and minor bit of ASL, wish there had been a touch more of that, but it's still progress.

Well done!

Loved this movie. Definitely one of this season's best! I really enjoyed the storyline and the suspense and humour was really well delivered by both actors. It was really amazing to see that as the relationship progressed the chemistry between the two actors was bouncing off the screen. As the last scene came along I truly felt that there was definitely more to see. You truly fall in love with this couple and are rooting for them to be together from the beginning to the end of the movie. One of those movies that you want to watch again and really hoping for a second part. It's a winner! A must see this season, don't miss it!

I have seen a ton of Hallmark movies. To me this is one of the if not the best ever. The writing is brilliant, on spot, funny and emotional. So is the acting. Excellent. It's upbeat with positivity. Cinematography is also fantastic. No plot spoilers here. It's somewhat different from the standard Hallmark predictable formula. If you want an enjoyable good time with a movie I totally recommend this one. Even the dog is great. So are the lead stars as well as the rest of the cast. This movie has a refreshingly different feel to it. It's well produced, directed, acted, and photographed. Hope you enjoy it as mych as I did.

I love the HMM Miracles of Christmas movies that tug on your heartstrings. This did that, but not as much as some. If doing that was the only good thing about this movie it would be good but not great.

What made this movie was all the little things, especially the little gags and jokes. By the way, I'm a dad and I love dad jokes. Mine are so bad I started calling them granddad jokes. There are a few dad jokes at the end which aren't as bad as they could be. But so many other things. The dog thief was great. Restoring the stolen items was often great. The funny things were not earth shattering funny, but they were good and all through the movie. So often the funny stuff will be only at the beginning, or the beginning and end.

There is a romance too. Unlike a lot of the movies that pull the heartstrings over one theme, the romance wasn't shortchanged in this one. But the sentimental story was still there.

Kimberley Sustad! What can I say? I think I thought the same thing with her Christmas movie last year. She has good comedic timing. She had great chemistry with Mark Ghanimé. Other actors were good too although Karen Kruper's Vivian was just a little bit too harsh in the beginning.

There were little mysteries stretched throughout the movie and some surprises. Not big ones, but just enough. I did know what Vivian was going to say before she said it, but then I think the way she worked up to it was my clue.

I'm not sure the last scene didn't steal from the super impressive shot just before it. Wow! Gorgeous! Wish I'd watched it in HD.

Ceci Carmichael (Kimberley Sustad) is a photographer for her small town newspaper. She recently lost her father and cancels a local Christmas tradition called Good Night. She comes to the aid of motorcyclist Sam Calloway (Mark Ghanimé) who crashes in the woods. Right before passing out, he asks her to marry him.

I really like the elephant necklace premise. I like a lot of that back and forth and its eventual resolution. I don't really like that he keeps his land development idea a secret. He could simply tell her that he's not buying her land and she would not believe him. That's a lot cuter and reasonable. I would like for her to read the letter. It would jumble the ending around a little, but I think it improve it. This is a movie filled with only nice people and that's a nice fit for Christmas.
