I love Lyndsy Fonseca and have since her turn in Nikita. It's great to see her doing another Christmas movie, and this one is good. It feels oddly similar to Next Stop, Christmas back in 2021. But it doesn't take away from this being a good movie and her giving a good performance. The whole cast is good, and the setting has that small-town Christmas charm these movies love to showcase.
The message of finding your Christmas spirit, which is so prevalent in Christmas movies, is handled very well. It doesn't seem too forced or outrageous, and the whole premise seems very grounded in the hustle and bustle of today.
This one is a keeper and worth watching,

To me, this film screams budget cuts in filming. Super fake sets, filming with zero depth, overly sharp picture, makes characters not feel like they're in the environment.
I love Merritt Patterson and I thought she was good here, as always and the other characters were good, as well. And I liked the story, even though it's very similar to a few other matchmaker movies. I just found it hard to move past the filming style and horrible interior sets. The vineyard was beautiful and the outdoor scenes were lovely but there was still something off about the filming technique. The whole movie just looked "off".
I was excited for this one and was disappointed in the end, especially because the cast, story and acting were all good. Since there's an obvious formula to the stories, as well as the look of the movies, I say stick to that formula, especially for the professional look. Making it look like a student film, and a bad one at that, isn't sticking to the formula.
I'm shocked that a few people here have said how beautiful the sets were, and apart from the vineyard, I strongly disagree. The director and cinematographer dropped the ball here.
