Hallmark Channel Premiere | November 16, 2019
In this movie, Nick loses his job as an investment banker and ends up working at a Christmas tree lot with Clem, the best boss ever. He meets 7th grade science teacher Julie and her son Matt, and he learns to be a good person.
I really loved this movie. The characters are interesting, and the story is touching. The plot is more complex than most, and it doesn't have that usual predictable element that Hallmark is known for. If you only have it in you to watch one or two Hallmark movies this year, choose this one.
Hallmark gets an A on: wardrobe, especially her necklaces and teacher outfits (thank you for not making her teacher-frumpy); flannels; hair and makeup team; Clem (I just want to hang out with him); compelling story and characters; chemistry; Clarke Peters (Clem); Autumn Reeser (Julie); Jesse Metcalfe (Nick); Anthony Bolognese (Matt); so many sweet moments; music -"In the Bleak Midwinter" in the background made me very happy
Hallmark gets a D on: her reaction to his job was way overblown and unnecessary, but I suppose they had to have some sort of fight. I was mad about it for about 15 seconds, but then I loved the movie again.
Grade: A
* 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.
