Another save the family inn vs the big time developer story. This one is the common variation of wanting it to go to the right buyer who will respect the property. And the corporate representative is under constant pressure to close. All of this is the same old stuff.
Almost all of these movies have to have a face off between the leads early in the movie. This one wasn't quite as antagonistic as some and it led into a cute official introduction between the two.
Rukiya Bernard and Dewshane Williams have done several Hallmark movies together mostly as close friends to the leads. Now they are the leads for Hallmark's new competition GAC Family. There's obvious chemistry between the two actors screaming to get out, but for too long there is real deception between the two characters. She is working against the direct wishes of her client. This is real dishonesty, not just hiding a secret identity, or other "white lie". Either way, it kills the effect of their chemistry. .
Williams doesn't convince me in his early efforts as the rigid corporate big shot (aka the mean guy). Seems like he is trying too hard. Maybe that's the point - maybe it's because Julian is trying to convince himself.
There is a bit of mysticism with the watch and its backstory.
By 3/4ths through, the pieces are in place for a very predictable ending which is even more of the same old stuff.
Bernard and Williams sing together early in the movie and it is just average. However, Bernard and Tom Pickett, Mia's dad, sing a very nice Silent Night near the end.
