Watching this movie again five years later, it's striking how sterile and predictable this year's Hallmark movies are.Emily Hampshire is not the usual fake looking blond used these days as the female lead in Hallmark movies. She's cute, quirky and funny as the lead girl. I've never been much of a Joey Lawrence fan, but he's fine here as a decent guy out in a bad spot. The ending is as stupid and contrived as they come, but you really want to see these two together, so it'll do. It's strange home Hallmark movies these days completely avoid any mention of religion, so it's nice to see both Jewish and Catholics portrayed.

This was the first Christmas movie of the year that I saw I it didn't disappoint. The themes of family radiated from the storyline which is what Christmas is all about, the plot was believable cause it didn't always go to plan and most of the time I was in fits of giggles at the characters situations. The acting of all the characters was very good for a TV movie and the storyline was on that is used many times in Christmas movies but this had more comedy in it which in involved different religions but wasn't, in my eyes, offensive to either religion. The scale of the movies finale was very well directed and it added to the festive spirit. It was a lovely festive movie that got me all ready for the Christmas season!

Its Thanksgiving. Rob (Joey Lawrence) has a hard time committing to ANYTHING! On the job, he is a talented art director but he happily goes from one freelance position to another, so that he doesn't have to stay true to a single company. The same phobia occurs for his love life, a never ending string of short-term romances. He breaks up with a current flame in a taxicab! His grandma is keenly disappointed, as she is very ill and wants to see him happily married. Meanwhile, beautiful Julie (Emily Hampshire), also single since her last New Year's Eve break-up, is upset that her Jewish mother is endlessly trying to match make her only daughter. Turkey dinner is almost unbearable, since Mom and Dad have invited a "prospect" to join their meal. Enough of this, she thinks! Her brilliant plan is to go online and find a "pretend" boyfriend for the coming holiday season so that she can avoid any future blind dates and complications. Guess who sees her ad! Rob! He believes his grandma is dying and wants to give her a last wish by becoming engaged. Oh, what a tangled web may be ahead, for Rob is Catholic and Julie is Jewish. Each must take a "cram course" in faking a new religion. But, amid the errors, both of them laugh and, in truth, like what they find in their pretend fiancés. Will it only be a case of hitched for the holidays! This darling film has a great cast (including Marilu Henner), lovely sets, fetching costumes, a mirthful script, and a lively direction. How welcome it is to find a seasonal film that touches on Hanukkah as well as Christmas. It also produces laughter, as when Rob's family buys Kwanzaa candle holders instead of Menorrahs! Naturally, romance fans will be delighted, too. Ditch the old re-runs and go get Hitched!

I really like joey Lawrence as an actor and when i seen that he was going to be in this movie i just had to watch it. The holidays are stressful and very lonely if you have no one special to share them with, I'm always single on the holidays so i know. This movie had a sweet twist in it being that the man was doing this online arrangement for his dying grandma and not just to show off to his buddies. THe other thing that i thought was funny is how drunk he got at the work Christmas party. You knew they were going to end up together because thats just how these movies go, but the funniest part of all is that at the end he finally made one of his mothers "visions" come true. I recommend this movie to anyone who like a laugh and a good looking actor, or can relate with a crazy family.
