This first part is not a spoiler: I love Hallmark movies, but this one was not only not really romantic but was also very unbelievable. The main character is very low intelligence. Super sweet, but completely too naive to be believed. And there are just too many plot holes.
OK spoilers now: We are supposed to believe that she goes to the future, is completely uninterested in all future technology and then goes back to the past with seemingly no attempt to even figure out how she might profit at all from having been able to ask the kid with the iPad what were the "hottest stocks of the late 40's" or anything like that. I mean, yeah, I'm all about the romance, but put me in the future for a couple days and then send me back, and I am at least going to figure out how to make my life a little easier. Whenever they mentioned new technology, she just looked confused and then ignored it. She didn't even ask to hold the iPad. She knew she had gone to the future, but still couldn't believe her house was changed from how it was 70 years earlier. Everything was too cute and tidy. She just happens to get a key to a storage closet with all the Christmas decorations for the gazebo. No one ever bothered to look in the closet before (all it takes is a locksmith). Even though she loves taking photos, she doesn't notice that she left her camera behind, and then magically 71 years later, the camera has undeveloped film that turns out to have perfect photos on it. No aging to the film at all and all the photos are completely professional. Also, there really is no romance to the film. The male character does seem to have the hots for the time traveler, so I thought they were going to be the two to fall in love and then maybe "Journey Back to Christmas." But halfway through, it turned out that the his love interest was a woman who he obviously thought of as a little sister and had no feelings for at all, as evidenced by him not having a clue why she'd be jealous of the time traveler. And the Candice character didn't really seem to be very passionate about her husband. She was glad he was still alive, but wasn't overwhelmed with joy or anything as one might expect if one found out the love of one's life was alive after knowing he was dead. Anyway, the actors do a decent job (if Candice was supposed to play someone not very smart - and the older guy she knew when he was a child was a really good actor) but the screenplay was so dismal, I will definitely not be watching this one again.
