Yes is is but a Christmas movie, and quite romantic at that. Unlike most of the re-dos of classic Xmas stories, this one has an original plot. I would have given it a 10 as a Christmas movie, but the casting failed us.Despite starting with a modelling session at the fire station by lead actor Brandon Routh (Superman Returns) he has a pleasant screen presence and captivates both man and woman right away. He is a modern super hero, fireman, animal lover and saviour of people anywhere, including a shopping centre parking lot. It is hard to hear such benign stories nowadays. All the support actors, especially the firemen were well cast and acted. However, the lead female part was so miscast with Kimberly Sustad. We could not help wishing she would transform during the story and stop looking like his older sister. What a shame, Christmas Eve would have been perfect without her.

As an animal lover, who is owned by 7 precious cats, I was really, really looking forward to this movie being really good. But once again, I was awfully disappointed by one of Hallmark's new Christmas movies. However, the beautiful, TALENTED cats are what saved this movie from being rated "awful." Alone, I would give the cats an "excellent" rating for their excellent performance!Brandon / "Zach"...and Kimberly / "Marilee"...were a perfectly annoying match with acting like skittish teenagers. They continuously behaved awkward towards each other...as if they were attempting to speak to the opposite sex for the first time at the age of puberty, and didn't know what to say or how to act. The ANNOYING result: two fumbling adults stammering and stuttering like naive teenagers throughout the movie!In several scenes, Kimberly's ANNOYING, immature expression looked like a deer caught in the headlights!...which became tiresome...along with her stammering. Just because of her STUPID expressions alone, I will not watch this movie again! And what was with wearing a black evening dress during the day??Throughout the movie, Brandon was annoyingly portrayed as a highly sought-after, glorified stud...which became tiresome. (Give me a break! He wasn't THAT handsome!) The firemen acted like a bunch of juveniles or old biddies, depending on the scene. The ONLY thing enjoyable about this movie was watching the beautiful, TALENTED cats: 10 Paws Up!

I'm not quite a half hour into this movie, and I can hardly stand it anymore. The female lead looks like she should be pulling the Budweiser wagon. I actually have to avert my eyes when she's on screen. When I don't, I can't take my eyes off her jowls.And Brandon Routh must be really hard up for parts, but even so, why would the people responsible for this film insult him so badly by inflicting someone on him who weighs more than he does. Did he do something to offend a producer? Finally, I have to ask why it's so often the case that the female lead is a dog and her friend is way better looking to the point where it's a travesty that their roles aren't reversed.?

The movie is decent for what it is. What it's not is a Christmas movie. It's another of Hallmark's made for TV romantic comedies shoehorned into Christmas. Hallmark has a lot of these. They take place at Christmas, or there's some kind of Christmas party some time in the movie. But otherwise it's bereft of Christmas.This is one of Hallmark's cut rate Christmas specials.As a Christmas movie this is 0 star. It has nothing to do with Christmas.As a romantic comedy it's 4 stars - below average with uninteresting characters in uninteresting relationships.That averages to 2 stars.Have a merry cut rate Christmas And in case you didn't hear Oh by golly have a jolly cut rate Christmas This year
