I've seen a lot of reviews knocking this movie mainly because of the believability of things, like the DNA-matching business messing up. Well look, this is Hallmark. They very rarely have a totally believable movie, especially at Christmas ones. It's all about Christmas magic, miracles, etc. Etc. Well, this particular one does a great job with the sentiment and ultimate joy.
My main focus on a movie is: do the actors sell the story, no matter how implausible? In this case, a resounding YES! All of the actors were well-chosen and fit their parts perfectly, particularly the actor who plays the father.. But as many have said, Aimee Teegarden is the best actor here and the fact that she is adorably beautiful helps a lot. But she also has a face that makes her look like she might bust out crying at any moment and that kept me really rooting for her, because her situation was shaky and those beautiful doe eyes and tentative smile had me really going.
As in all Hallmark movies, all's well that end's well and now I have new actress that I love, both for her acting ability and her awesome looks. Make more, Aimee, please!
