Beautiful, moving film.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Susan Mallery is a favorite author of mine and I loved all of her Fool's Gold Series. So when I hear they were turning this book into a movie I was ecstatic. But boy what a waste of time, there were very little similarities between the two and the movie was terrible. Take my advice and stick to the book and don't give this movie any of your time.

This is a fairly average Hallmark Christmas movie. A movie star's sister is getting married in a small town. He swoops into town to help and falls for a local girl. There is the expected little drama before the end. Trevor Donovan looks a bit like Brad Pitt / Robert Redford so he is quite suited to play a big movie star. But the running joke about his being able to buy expensive stuff or get a person to arrange something special is kind of repetitive. It's a bit of a one joke movie. Rachel Skarsten is the small town girl he falls in love with. She is pretty in a rather Uma Thurman way but her eyes are a bit scary. She would be better for a Lifetime wacko than a Hallmark romantic comedy leading lady.Okay for one watch.

The main characters have zero chemistry. Leading lady looks like Shirley Temple with ringlets/horrible hairstyle. I fast forwarded thru as much as I could, should have just scrapped the entire movie and saved a couple hours. I love Hallmark Christmas movies but this one was a total waste of time.

I can't resist Hallmark's Countdown to Christmas. As a result, I was psyched for the first premiere movie. I enjoyed getting to know Maddie and Johnny and watching them get to know one another. I especially liked that Johnny didn't start out as a arrogant celebrity, despite a couple of instances where he assumed he was the center of attention when he wasn't.I was liking Rachel Skarsten and Trever Donavon as the leads, even though I wasn't familiar with either one's work. Early on their chemistry was clicking. I have seen Emily Tennant previously and she was also clicking with Skarsten as a friend. I'm ready to see Tennant in a lead role of her own in one of these TV movies.But as the movie progressed, the leads were trying so hard not to "date", or at least Maddie was, that it was unnatural and the movie started to drag for me.The dual conflict situations were forced. Neither one resonated as natural.Overall, I enjoyed it, but I didn't think it finished as strong as it started.
