    Sweet and charming

    This was a nice movie. I enjoyed it for what it was and liked the christmassy things they do. Such a nice feel good movie.

    I watched it for my christmas challenge with is now up to 29

    I might watch it again. For some reason I do like these types of movies at christmas.

    I wanted to hate it, but couldn't.

    I thought this was going to be a real stink bomb. But, you know it wasn't too bad. I don't listen to country music, but as far as I know this is exactly the kind of stuff that passes for quality nowadays. All the Christmas points are dotted and it seemed to work. Although, the lead fellow needs to have his hair messed up a bit. Too much product.

    It's all about following your dreams!

    Love, love, love Kevin and Becca in this movie. It's about following your dreams, doing what scares you but is what you know you need to do. Love the story line, the characters, the music. Love them singing together. Great movie!

    Enjoyable

    Adelaide Kay is a country music rising star who gets left behind in a small town when her bus leaves without her. Traffic jams and weather problems delay them in returning and even after that she decides to make it difficult for them to find her.

    Meanwhile, Addie finds an extremely friendly and giving family, most of whom don't know who she is. Of course the family is about to lose their farm. Most of the movie focuses on Addie falling love with the family, and with Dillon, and trying to help as they fight to hold on. There is no hidden lie between her and Dillon since he figures out who she is early on.

    Becca Tobin and Kevin McGarry fall into an easy relationship founded on the characters' mutual love for music. All the actors in the family are real and lovable. Kendra Leigh Timmins is especially so as the teenage sister of Dillon who devises a vision for saving the farm. One acting or possibly directing criticism: the adoring fans with signs (as shown in previews) were lame.

    The story is about having courage to follow your dreams and is totally predictable but enjoyable.

    Love this movie

    I DVRd this movie when it first aired. I liked it so much, I didn't delete it. I've now watched it several times. The movie is all about following your dreams. It's about family. It's about standing up for yourself. It's about listening and standing with your kids. The chemistry between the two leads is amazing. Nice Holiday movie...

    • Trivia
      The custom coach used by Adelaide Kay and company was made by Prévost, a Québec-based luxury coach builder and subsidiary of Volvo. Prévost built the custom coaches used by Presidents George W. Bush and Donald Trump; the latter was dubbed "Ground Force One."
    • Goofs
      While Dillon is showing Addie around the Christmas tree farm, he proudly points out the different species. Balsam fir, spruce, tamarack. The thing is...as anyone who has spent time in Montana will tell you, tamaracks are beautiful trees, they'd just be lousy Christmas trees. They turn the most brilliant yellow in the fall--just before they lose their needles for the winter.
