The Christmas Bow | A

Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Premiere | November 8, 2020

Fabulous

Bravo!

I just loved this movie. It's not corny (if you excuse the pun in the title), it's heartwarming and sweet, and it feels authentic. That's all I'll say. You should watch it.

Hallmark gets an A on: Grandpa Joe; gingerbread houses; casting a legit violinist; Lucia Micarelli (Kate); Michael Rady (Patrick); bringing actual tears (I won't say which scene - you guess!)

Hallmark gets a D on: maybe the pun in the title, but I don't really hate it

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.
