The underlying story in this movie is intriguing, but you have to stomach a lot of typical Hallmark corniness in order to watch it unfold.
The movie would have had more depth if the family wasn't so perfect. Each scene included at least a half-dozen smiles. Everything was the happiest, the best, the most wonderful moment ever! I wish the writers would have dialed it back a bit on the festive cheer. Even in a Hallmark Christmas movie, you can go overboard with it.
Aimee is really good at these movies, so I hope she features in a few more down the road. She was the only character who was given a moment to be anything but gleeful, so I appreciated that.
