This movie is a knock-off of Miss Christmas. There were some minor differences that gave it a slightly different feel, mainly how the mayor got involved. I preferred the story and the leads in Miss Christmas.
While Rochelle Aytes and Mark Taylor had chemistry, it did not compare to Brook D'orsay and Marc Blucas. Aytes' Erin began the movie with too much arrogance and entitlement as the mayor's daughter. Eventually, as is almost always the case in these movies, her character softened and became likeable, especially in her relationship with Claire. Claire's backstory and appeal as a character helped make the movie more enjoyable.
The aspects of the story surrounding the politics were frankly insulting. I don't want to spoil and say exactly what aspects those were, but I think they would be obvious to anyone who viewed the whole movie.
