    Irony with a side of Lori Loughlin & one of her daughters!

    Lori Loughlin & Victor Webster headline this Hallmark Christmas movie. Also starring one of Loughlin's daughters with a subplot where she pulls strings to get her into college! Enjoyable if you are a fan of any of the actors.

    Strained relationships

    I've read some of the reviews, here, but I couldn't disagree more; the conversations or attempt at them was strained at best. I could not believe the chemistry at all.

    Good but it could have been better

    About half of the dialogue was believable, the other half was cheesy or unrealistic. I like Lori Loughlin as an actress, but the character in this movie was written super shallow. The best part of the movie was the play by play of the cookie exchange.

    No more "What if ?"

    I really liked this movie!!! A story about two people who get a SECOND CHANCE in love! Lori and Victor were amazing together, with chemistry, humor, emotions and good acting. There where some times that i thought Lori was too serious in her part and not loose enough (influence of her role in When calls the heart i suppose) but still she was very expressive. I found the cast in total good, the plot whas very good and he dialogues had spice and sincerety. I found very realistic their fears, hesitations and hopes as they were depicted though the script. I've been there my self and it's hard to let go... But true love always find the way. I also liked that it was about two people over 40 acting accordinly their age, their history together and backround. This one i will defenitely see again!!!

    Good cast, good dialogue

    Lori Loughlin and Victor Webster are seasoned veterans of the Hallmark style of movies and it shows in this one. Either the witty dialogue was perfect for these two, or these two were perfect for this dialogue, but maybe it was both. There were several moments throughout with some light humor. The cookie exchange was perfect.

    The story had several well used devices for a Christmas movie, so there was nothing surprising in that, but even so it was a decent story and it was put together smoothly.

    I do have one minor complaint which is very common in this type of movie - more than one character did a 180 so fast it made my head spin.
