Featured reviews
The movie itself is cute, but as a Denver native, the inaccuracies are ridiculous. First, some of the aerial shots weren't even of Denver. Second, while Littleton does have some outlying areas and a Main Street, it's a suburb of Denver. When one of the twins mentions wanting to get out of Littleton as a child - you hop in the car and are in downtown in 15-20 minutes, not an hour. It's not some small town an hour out of the city.
I am in hopes that the other review, which gave this movie a low, low, low rating, does not discourage anyone from watching it. IMDB gave it a 6.7 rating, which I pretty much agree with. Although we all know how the movie will turn out, it is enjoyable to watch. I really like the actress who played the main character(s) and did not agree with the reviewer's disparaging remarks in that line, as well as other comments made about this movie. That said, I did have to do a little thinking at the beginning of each scene to remember which sister it was. I just personally liked the movie enough to counter the other review.
Not a fan of Candace at all, but I actually like this one best of all of hers. I'm sure another actress would have done better, but I enjoyed the story anyway. Probably because it doesnt involve the usual insipid Hallmark plotline - woman gives up her whole life and career in the big city to move to smallville for some guy she just met. Ridiculous. This film is just fun, which is what they should be.
I noticed in the goofs someone incorrectly mentioned a change of coats on the opening scene. That's two different scenes, the two different characters in two different coats. Unless they fixed a goof after first airing, do they do that?

This was confusing. The idea of twins switching is probably as old as mankind. It's certainly been done in books and movies. But it isn't done in Christmas movies as often as so many of the other devices. And this one was done pretty well.
The story had all kinds of possibilities and made good use of some of them. If nothing else, the movie kept you on your toes trying to remember which one you were looking at as the settings switched back and forth. I think we knew that in the end we weren't going to be very surprised.
So often in reviews we talk about the chemistry of the leads. Candace Cameron-Bure had chemistry, with two men. Eion Bailey and Adam Sinclair each clicked with Candace.
Production and scenery were good. It had mountain view and exterior Christmas decorations and interior Christmas decorations which were all beautiful.
As is often true with Hallmark, family was a big theme. And many of the other traditional themes were present as well including some sappiness. However, overall, I think this movie presents it all in a little different way.

Where is the scene with teenage Chris, Kate, Blake, and Tom? They are all listed in the credits, but I don't remember any scene with them in it.
