Looks like Catherine Bell went to Cher's cosmetologist and got a new, fuller face - not a wrinkle in sight ! - but that doesn't help the credibility of this fiasco. Badly written (some dialogue is cringe-worthy) and ridiculously slow, this fails on all levels. The direction is sloppy and the supporting cast is bland and amateurish, with the exception of Mark Deklin, who tries his best to make this tripe work. Bell's movies are usually interesting and she generally gives a natural, intelligent performance, but in this she just comes across as a pretentious goofball and the plot line just sort of slogs along for two hours. "Skip This at Christmas".

Hallmark movies can be tough enough to watch but has this actress always had filler duck lips? Such an annoying look. Not even the look of snow could keep me watching.

"The "potential" for a movie's greatness lies not in the actors performance but in the words that are written for them to embody." Thank you Jennifer Aspen for bringing this story to our lives in this uncertain time. As you demonstrated with masterful approach to the very real subject of loss for military families with the movie Home for Christmas Day, it was without doubt you would again delight and touch all of our hearts with your approach to another very real life scenario "Can the heart have the capacity to love again?". This movie will bring hope to the lives of so many, who have loved and lost, that they can find love again. I especially love how your movies move along quickly. Efficient, yet full of detail, depth and suspense! Wonderful movie!! THANK YOU!! For giving us these delightful movies!

Great chemistry between the leads. I loved the storyline. This is a Hallmark Christmas movie that you will be happy you watched.

Storyline was good. Sadly, Catherine Bell's performance was not engaging. Absent the enthusiasm as seen in her other roles. Generally, I have enjoyed Hallmark's Christmas movies tremendously.

I really loved this Hallmark movie and have watched it over again. Mark Deklin always makes any movie a pleasure to watch and this one was no exception.

Huh. I usually like these more. Some parts were refreshing, like the fact that it focused on people over the age of 45, with the kids being the secondary couple. The flashbacks to their initial day together were fun and sweet. Also, it wouldn't be a Hallmark movie without some of the old tropes, in this case, each side hearing half of the story and jumping to conclusions. My biggest problem was Joan. I normally like Catherine Bell, but I have trouble figuring out what her acting choices were, because she mostly came off as having a very bad day through the whole story. I spent much of the time feeling sorry for Beau, who was too smitten to see how utterly miserable she was to be around. The audience should not be yelling for someone in the main couple to "RUN!" unless he or she is still with the unsuitable-current-one-who-is-about-to-get-dumped. Not my favorite.
