Will and single mom/widow Olivia do not get off on the right foot when they meet.
"That man is hoarding paint!"-Olivia
"Maybe he really did need all of that paint some kind of art emergency."-mom
Olivia is a big city artist who has lost her inspiration since her husband's passing. When she finds out that she may be loosing her job at the museum in New York, she goes home for the holidays with her son. There she discovers that there is an art competition to paint a mural in town. With a lot of pushing from her mom, who enters her without her knowledge and then some help from her dad...and the "paint hoarder", who turns out to be not only the runner up, but an art therapist who is able to help her son Parker, she wins the contest and paints the town mural.
The paint hoarder turns out to be not only a nice guy, but funny, sensitive and an amazing help to both her and her son.
Kind of a sad topic for a holiday film....but the romance was wonderful and Dan Jeannotte, who plays Will, is wonderful and really makes this film. There is some fun banter between the two as they fairly quickly go from gate to love.
This feels on is pretty neat and tidy, even though it has a depressing start. Dan Jeannotte Really does make this film, so if you are a fan you should watch it.
