It was a little slow but Bridges was so adorable that it made it work. There were multiple comments in the reviews that it was not believable but she was too old for him. One reviewer even incorrectly switched their ages. He is just three years younger than she is - hardly a big difference. But he has a youthful look about him. Will watch this again and again. Why isn't he in more of these? I used to think his grandfather Lloyd Bridges was also extremely handsome.

It was exactly what you would expect from a Hallmark movie. The recurring song; I swear it's the song from 1983 movie "Somewhere Tomorrow" called"You Brought Me To Loving"... Anyone else think so??

But when Sophie realizes the reason for Evan's stay, she must convince him the lodge is a bad investment -- while trying not to fall in love with him.What was nice about this film was that in the film you do get a since of "Community". You see that people do care for each other and that "good things happen when you care". The performances are very good and above everything else the film does work. There are many "Christmas Films" that Hallmark has made this year. It will be hard to find one that is much better.
