krstonoshic-94757 Christmas? What is the Christmas message here? It's OK to be humiliated and then humiliated again, and plus - grateful to be humiliated.This movie is disgrace for female first and then for men as well. I cant believe someone approved this to be on TV (or anywhere).Would anyone want to show this to their family?

cammietime This movie starts out well, but then implodes. Sara is easy on the eyes, and her wish of being more confident is interesting and unique, but that plot device is generally wasted in the end. This movie has multiple violations of accepted and realistic corporate procedures. First of all, Sara is called a "junior web developer" who reports to the Director of Marketing? Wait what? Web developers design websites based on the input and instructions of the business, aka marketing people, they do not determine or direct corporate marketing strategy. Sara would be in IT, or in the .com department, NOT in marketing. Second of all, HR at this company has their hands full now since the CEO is openly in love with a direct subordinate, and he has promised her a promotion - which is not seen in the movie, which means it is inbound, which means everyone at the company would interpret the promotion as favoritism towards his girlfriend when it eventually happens. The whole thing of the boss getting the hots for his subordinate made me sick. The movie also spends WAY too much time in the middle bogged down in putzy conversations that do not move the plot forward, toeing the "should we really do this since you are my boss" line. I liked the jerk client at the end (he seemed the most realistic character in the movie), and they totally wasted Sara's reaction and capability in that scene. In the ending we get, the conversation we waited the entire movie for is not seen. Same thing with the CEO and his daddy issues. Of course his dad wants him to move to the small town and take over the family business - I've seen three Hallmark movies today and and two of them had this plot device, and it is really weak. Anyway, this movie starts out with great promise, gets lost debating if an attractive, young female subordinate should fool around with her boss, then decides skip over the juicy scenes and tie everything up in a way too short bow. I would rate this movie a C-.

RNMorton But if Lacey Chabert's in it and it's Hallmark I'll usually give it a solid look. Lacey has become the Queen of Hallmark Christmas movies, she's quietly attractive, distinctive, and with a little edge to her. I really liked her last few Hallmark Christmas entries, this one seemed a little forced or something. Lacey is a marketing wiz who won't stand up for herself, at the company Christmas party she gets courage from Santa, and then gets thrown into a challenging marketing pitch with company CEO Greene. I know Greene is also a Hallmark staple (who I hadn't seen before), he was okay but something about this just didn't feel right (as opposed to, say, Once Upon a Holiday where things seemed to effortlessly flow). So I would recommend it to the Hallmark hard core but not necessarily others.

maddie Very cute, but terrible ending. This woman made everything okedoke at the end by going back to her wimpy self, not speaking her mind, not standing up for herself. To make her man happy, she needed to endure abusive, demeaning comments from the man they were trying to get a contract with. She apologizes to him, goes to her man, he finds out she wimped out but got the contract, and he liked her again. No apology from the boyfriend. Bad Christmas movie. Bad. Not to mention appearing to leave out important parts.Very cute, but terrible ending.
