    Books! Books! Books!

    Ryan Paevey is divine, but I'm not keen on Scottie Thomson and not just because I only like men, but because the character is a bit weak. Her reason for accepting him is because she reads a good book?

    The film features a book shop and lots of seasonal activities, so it ticks a lot of my boxes. I would also very much like to sit on this Father Christmas's knee and other things.

    Set in the usual small town environment, there's love and lots of Christmas to be had.

    Hope at Christmas

    7/10 - an enjoyable romp from Hallmark Channel to brighten the holiday season

    A sweet Christmas tale

    This movie didn't exactly break any new ground, but it was a sweet story about life choices and the importance of family and friends. I loved the incorporation of the book store into the story.

    Pretty standard Christmas story

    It's a nice story, but nothing unusual. Many of the regular Christmas movie traditions. There were a couple of plot leaps that had me shaking my head to catch up. The acting was fine and the leads,Scottie Thompson and Ryan Paevey were comfortable with each other and the story revolved mostly around them. There was a sweet pre-teen daughter.

    nice

    A nice film against, for many motives, itself. But a bookshop, a girl, a handsome teacher are good ingredients against a not very realistic/ credible romance. Sure, it is only Halmark and, against her obvious effort, Scottie Thompson is not exactly the most inspired Sydney. But that is only a detail and the film has all chances to appear as just nice.
