First things first: There are "cliffhanger" kisses (spoiler alert...hopefully the only spoiler)
Thankfully, it's not all there is to this movie.
FEELINGS, nothing more than feelings (I just mean, this is not really a review):
This movie is about the love for family, and its importance...of letting people in...and maybe, also about the true meaning of Christmas.
I like the chemistry between Steven Weber and Kari Matchett. There's something so real about the way they look at each other.
Thankfully I also like the chemistry between the two leads, Tori Anderson and Steven Huszar.
The little girl, Scout, played by Lyla Elliott, is more than adorable. She may only be a supporting character, but she was able to internalize well. She longed for her father, but she still was able to exude the joy within. Troy Bundle and Janet Porter play her parents. They were believable enough.
Vanessa Matsui(Carrie, Amelia's Executive Assistant and friend) is a natural, but she wasn't able to display it much here. Still, she made the most out of her role.
Byron Abalos, Nathan, well, he did what he could with the role given to him. He's good.
Anyways, instead of doing a roll call and give more spoilers, I think I'll just say that yes, there are predictable stuff, but there are some surprises too.
Thanks for your time.
