Yes we expect a sweet happy ending to a Hallmark Christmas movie, but Five Star Christmas offers much more than what we typically get. With extremely likeable leads, blending of more humor than usual, a second romance storyline, a good supporting case (for the most part), and an attractive home, the pieces combined to create something more enjoyable than most Hallmark fare, And the premise offers many opportunities to do some terrific sequels . My only disappointment was the story of the married sibling learning she is pregnant and concern that they could not travel. First off the acting from the two of them was poor, and why can't a couple travel with a child... especially during the first trimester and the baby's first year? But aside from that Five Star Christmas was delightful, fun, entertaining and clever. Do more like this!!!. .
