It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

I love Alicia Witt and look forward to her Christmas movies every year. This year is a big letdown. David Alpay is a good leading man but they have no chemistry and a dire script to work with.
Here's hoping next year we get something close to the perfection A Very Merry Mix Up was.

I have watched 100's of Hallmark movies and most of the time I thoroughly enjoy them, no matter how corny or predictable they can be. Alica Witt is someone I've enjoyed watching, but she was downright annoying in this movie. In one scene she went out for a jog and had this silly lilting run as if she was almost skipping. Her interaction with the male lead was argumentative and pompous, and there was no reason for her to be that way. I did like David Alpay who played Zeke. The movie would have been enjoyable if Alicia Witt's acting was more natural.

As an earlier reviewer noted, Alicia Witt is the Queen of Hallmark Christmas movies.She plays to her strengths here creating a witty, warm character. She has great chemistry with her new best friend (Lucie Guest) and prospective love interest (David Alpay).The best scene in the film is her (Witt) complaining about his (Alpay) typing on a typewriter as he complains about her "whale sounds" white noise generator late one night. The dialogue is funny banter, the actors play well off each and it is beautifully shot and directed (Thank you director Alex Wright).The whole film is like that, a nice classy romantic comedy.The novelist Richard Paul Evans has a cameo in the film. Next time, let's promote him to the supporting role of Dad.

I've watched several movies/TV Shows with Alicia Witt. She is a good actress. Her love interest in the film was quite good too. Her ex- boyfriend was very one dimensional, but his part was terribly written. It's ironic that a film about romance writing would be so horribly written. I would rate the writing a 2 out of 10. Weak, with one- dimensional characters and really poor dialog and phony situations (even for a Hallmark romance movie).It's too bad the two stars didn't have better material to work with.On a side note, I wish they would quit filming these things in the summer. Is it so difficult to film them one winter and present them the next?
