This movie had an unusual storyline and an unpredictable ending. I didn't put the clues together and was surprised about how it all came together. Totally worth watching.

Ever see two people together and you think, "They just don't look right together." That is our lead characters. Kimberly Williams-Paisley is totally a hot babe in a Sandra Bullock in her prime kind of way. She carries the movie. But this Mulrobey guy is tough to look at when he is on screen. He has something like John Kerry hair...way to thick and big. Danny Glover...well, is Danny Glover. If you want to see his best work, I recommend..The Saint of Fort Washington. I can live with the script. Wasn't that bad.

This movie was nothing like the book. Sorry, but If I didn't read the book, maybe I could deal with Hallmark and put up with the heavy sighs and "pregnant" pauses during the movie. The acting is generally OK and the movie is worth watching, but for me, I was disappointed. In addition, the ending left me wondering, huh, is this it?

The Christmas Train was one of the best Hallmark Christmas movies this year. I loved all the actors, the heartwarming stories, the snow storm and the mystery thief. I gave it a 5 because of the "unmagical" ending.I had this magical feeling. Everyone was happy and Christmas miracles were everywhere. Then the shock that all the stories were planned by the editor on the train...the young couple getting married, the chance meeting of the journalists and the list goes on and on. All fake. That took the joy away from the entire movie and ruined it for me. The magic was gone after that. I asked my relatives what they thought and they all said the same thing. The ending should have finalized without the finding of the script and the planned outcome. The ending provided no Christmas miracles or joy. A calculated, unmagical ending does not fit the Christmas season.
