    Not cured for long enough.

    Just your average Christmas film. Nothing to shout about, but not so bad that I had to turn it off.

    I thought the lead romance could have had a bit more to it, they kind of just fell back in to things, but I did like the cute teenage romance between the Brother and the girl from school.

    It's nice to see that Patrick Duffy still gets work as the Dad, but the Mother was quite intense.

    Put it on while you're wrapping presents and it will suffice.

    A warm and enjoyable movie

    I liked this movie although the plot was typical Hallmark. What stood out to me was the gorgeous Jocelyn Hudon who stole every scene she was in. I don't know why they didn't use her more as she is the star of this movie. I hope Hallmark uses her more!

    Formulaic

    Same old, same old from Hallmark. Likeable, but ham actors overacting in every scene. The usual over smiling and grinning in every scene, The obligatory, constant "coincidental" run ins between the lead actors up front. The huge job offered at the end, which he or she passes on to stay in some small town. Absurdly kind and wonderful townsfolk, etc, etc, etc So sugar sweet you will pucker. Nobody is like these people. Every movie is near the same as the last. Its a 5

    Adorable cast held back by a too predictable story.

    Great cast, particularly our two romantic leads...it even felt natural, but the storyline was far too predictable. Daughter finished medical studies in California, dad back home retiring from small town family practice. Puzzle meet piece.

    A heartwarming one

    This one had my wife in tears several times with the emotional moments. Patrick Duffy was great as the father in this one as well.

      Betty Willis refers to her late husband's favorite cake, Baumkuchen, also known as German Tree Cake.

      The movie takes place in Connecticut just before Christmas. However, it was clearly shot in early autumn. There are green deciduous trees in the many outdoor scenes, there are yellowish and light green deciduous bushes, and even flowers in the front of Turner's family house and clinics. Impossible in the mid December in Connecticut as almost all deciduous trees and bushes are completely bare by then.
