I tried..I really tried to finish this movie but I just couldn't get into it. It's not often that I find one of these Christmas movies that I just can't finish, I like watching them and I'm usually able to at least finish the ones that aren't that good. However, this one..I just couldn't do it. The main female character gabby, was just not likable. It is a slightly different plot from other lifetime Christmas movies; it has the same overall falling in love theme, just a different execution. As other people said, if you don't know Spanish, the subtitles can be difficult to read as they are small and written differently that other subtitles or captions. Overall, this just not a good movie, imo.

This was such a lovely and sweet movie. It was also nice to see Teri Hatcher and James Denton reunited in this movie (I used to love Desperate Housewives). I like watching most hallmark Christmas movies...whether they're good or not is another story! However, this one was good from beginning to end. It has a nice message about the importance of family and making time for loved ones and other people as well. It wasn't a typical they meet and fall in love within three days Christmas movie, which made it that much better and easier to believe, even with the whole Christmas wish magic. This is a great movie to watch, I would recommend it! Definitely not a waste of time like other holiday movies and it's easy to watch through the entirety of the movie.

The only reason I gave it two stars instead of one was because of Chad Michael Murray; I love him and he has been in some pretty cute, sweet, and good Christmas movies. This movie, however.....horrible. I could not find the strength to finish watching it and I have sat through some pretty lousy movies before. The characters are ridiculous. The lead character, Sloan is a textbook type shallow, trashy, selfish unlikable person. The plot is the typical "modern" Christmas Carol, but this movie makes it seem so passé. The acting was horrible and you can deduce what is going to happen within the first 10 minutes. Anyway, overall, this was a terrible movie, imo. I couldn't even finish it. I feel badly that CMM had to be part of this atrocity because he has been in other decent Christmas movies.
