My wife and I both enjoy and watch a lot of Hallmark movies every Christmas. We were intrigued by this one because the story was slightly different for a Hallmark movie. In this one, she gets reacquainted with her ex. We both found the story a little more unique than most of the other Hallmark movies we watched this year. We also thought that the acting was better than average for a Hallmark movie. All of the actors did a good job. The grandfather was particularly good. The writing was standard fare for a Hallmark film, but there were a couple of things that made it more unique.There is one thing that I hope isn't true but I suspect might be. The ratings for this movie were lower than most of the other Hallmark films we watched this year. After watching this film, I was surprised by this. Both my wife and I thought this was one of the better Hallmark Christmas films we watched, yet if you only went by the ratings, it wouldn't appear to be so. I sincerely hope that some people aren't being racist and voting it down because it is about a Hispanic couple (who are actually married in real life). That would be really sad. I hope that you'll give this film a chance. If you like Hallmark movies, you'll probably like this one. It is a little more unique for Hallmark movies and this is something that I like about this film.
... View MoreAt 1 hour 19 minutes and 44 seconds she walks thru the curtain onto the stage. She is wearing a blue suit on the backstage side of the curtain. She emerges on the other side wearing a red dress with no time in between to change. Christmas magic or blooper?Alexa is wonderful in this movie, but is miss-paired with her husband/co-star Carlos. I sincerely hope they have magic and sparks in their real relationship, but that was sadly missing for their onscreen characters. It was almost like Major League (Alexas) vs Little League (Carlos). It was a good story but Alexa had to carry the film by herself.
... View MoreI wanted to like it, but it took me 4 times to watch it through because it was soooooo boring..... and predictable. The acting was just bleh.... the story was just, meh....... skip this one. It will be 2 hours you will never get back, that you could've been watching something better. Two thumbs way down.

The acting seemed too forced. The actress, who we're not familiar with, was difficult to listen to - her voice seems rather screechy at times. The characters didn't seem to mesh. Obviously, since this is a romantic movie, they would, eventually, but it was too miserable an experience to try to sit through it. I hate writing a negative review, but this movie should have had zero stars if that had been an option. Very disappointed. We always enjoy the holiday movies and could even watch them all year round, except for this one. This is a movie to avoid.
