Your usual holiday hallmark type movie
Not Good But Not Bad
That said I fairly enjoyed the movie. It actually has some loveable characters, some beautiful scenery and a warm christmas feel to it when watching. Its not drawn out or have the whimsicle will they wont they storyline. Seems to chug along at a nice pace too. The big finale at the end always raises a smile from me.
Brooke Shields is as beautiful as ever and Cary Ewlys has aged like a fine single malt.
I would reccomend it if you are stuck for a feel good xmas flick.
Fine, better than your typical Hallmark Xmas season movie
I sense a sequel btw, if Netflix is happy.
I Actually Enjoyed this Rom-Com Cheez Fest! ;D
It's a cute, cheezy movie with a lot of heart and Christmas spirit and the dog helped it score an extra point from me. Just Adorable!
Very watchable
I didn't expect anything as the reviews I had read were off putting, but it's truly worth a watch. Accents...well I've heard a lot worse. Americans can often do Irish instead of Scottish , but it was not that bad, it was just most of the actors were English. There are so many Scottish actors that could have been used, but set that aside it was not insulting.
I really liked it.
Did you know
- TriviaAlthough Dun Dunbar Castle was just a fictional castle created for the movie, there was a Dunbar Castle located in Scotland, but it's no longer in use.
- GoofsAs an environmental engineer, the Duke would probably know that pine trees cannot be planted in December in the Scottish climate.
