Its tough to rate a Christmas movie, I gave it a 7 but that is not based on the same scale as I would be using to rate a big budget 1st tier production. But for a Christmas movie its fine.
Jill Wagner and Wes Brown are the lead actors in the movie, and very watchable. I actually did not know Jill was this capable, as my only prior exposure to her was with Wipe-Out where her role was to be smoking hot with a touch of comedy. She fulfills the smoking hot role exceptionally well in this movie - she is gorgeous. Wes is a handsome guy and he has presence, so their chemistry was quite believable.
The story has all the usual dramatic Christmas elements - love of family, turmoil, angst, with a happily ever after solution typical of a Hallmark movie. The ending was a bit corny - and never mind that one self centered boyfriend was left in the dust.......
This movie is suitable for the whole family - other then admiring how good Jill looks in anything (and those 2 small suitcases seemed to pack a huge wardrobe) there is nothing in the movie that even approaches PG.
Its light but enjoyable entertainment, not heavy stuff but the cast never pretends otherwise, and you will want cookies and pie when done watching it...
