Hallmark Channel Premiere | December 13, 2020
In this movie, Cheryl is an astronomer who has lost her way. Instead of reaching for the stars (do you see what I did there?), she has spent the last five years working for the Federal Science Foundation. Home for Christmas, she rides on a mysterious carousel at her town carnival and is transported back in time five years. (It's like Something Wicked This Way Comes, but more festive.)
Like most time travel movies, this is where things really go downhill. Once Cheryl figures out what year it is, she decides to see how her life would have turned out with different choices. What follows is a cringeworthy, often silly romp through Cheryl's past regrets, sprinkled with some Christmassy stuff.
Hallmark gets an A on: Ms. Nelson; Terrence; Tamera Mowry-Housley (Cheryl)
Hallmark gets a D on: the time travel; Cheryl's inability to let go of high school; CGI snow; the bad puns; the creepy carousel
Grade: C-
* Note Grading Scale:
A = This is seriously a good movie. It will remain on my DVR for the season.
B = Totally exceeded my expectations. I'm happy to recommend.
C = This is an average Hallmark movie. Good holiday fun.
D = I'm disappointed... but I watched it. Why not?
F = I actually had a hard time getting through this one. And that says a lot.
