I fully understand Candace Cameron's appeal. However as light hearted as this film is her charms do not work at all in this film.In this film she plays "twins" that are opposite. Each think of course the other has an "Easier Life". So they both decide to switch for the holidays. Now this is not a "Freaky Friday" its "Wife Swap".The film suffers because Candace fails to bring 3 dimensions to both parts. She is flat. She also need to make each "Person" have different mannerisms. Because she fails the film fails because the truth is "The Minor Differences" that she brings isn't enough to being an "A-Ha" moment to a full realization. Hallmark Staple Alicia Witt should have been given this project. She would made a film people would remember!

This was okay, another one of those Hallmark Christmas movies I can't help but watch at this time of year. Candace Cameron Bure is enjoyable, kinda perfect for these types of movies. Here she plays identical twin sisters who switch places and plan Christmas events for one another, but with one rule...no new romances. This proves difficult on day one.Candace does a good job with both roles, one twin is a single mom in a small town and the other is an executive type living in the big city. They both of course find love during "the switch" and the finale sees them getting caught out by their beaus. The romances are sweet, nothing memorable.FYI CCB's real life daughter plays her teenage daughter here.

I loved this movie. Décor is great. Not always the case with Hallmark. You either get real Christmas decoration that look professionally done or the occasional flat red bow thrown here and there. Enjoyed the actors. Fun fun Christmas movie. Will save this one. I also liked the one she did last year Journey Back to Christmas. That one surprised me. I thought Candace's acting was the best I've seen in her. Well done.

This was confusing. The idea of twins switching is probably as old as mankind. It's certainly been done in books and movies. But it isn't done in Christmas movies as often as so many of the other devices. And this one was done pretty well.The story had all kinds of possibilities and made good use of some of them. If nothing else, the movie kept you on your toes trying to remember which one you were looking at as the settings switched back and forth. I think we knew that in the end we weren't going to be very surprised.So often in reviews we talk about the chemistry of the leads. Candace Cameron-Bure had chemistry, with two men. Eion Bailey and Adam Sinclair each clicked with Candace.Production and scenery were good. It had mountain view and exterior Christmas decorations and interior Christmas decorations which were all beautiful.As is often true with Hallmark, family was a big theme. And many of the other traditional themes were present as well including some sappiness. However, overall, I think this movie presents it all in a little different way.
