I absolutly loved BOTH of these movies. Yes her hair did look fake but ya know what? I must be the only one who dosn't look really deep into things. I kept both of these movies on my DVR for a long time and replaied them. I love the romance and I loved Both of the movies. I wish they would make a 3rd one!!
This film is just fun. It isn't deep, it isn't spectacular... but it is a simple, sweet, fun story.
I love Christmas stories / movies and this one is "unique" enough. I love "A Christmas Carol"... but it is SOOOOO overused. I can't watch ANOTHER modern version of a snob visited by 3 ghosts. Likewise, the Every Christmas/Groundhog Day premise has been a bit overused.
While this is "classic" romance movie plot, it's still wholesome family fun and the characters are endearing.
It's not the BEST Christmas movie ever, but it is a lot of fun.
