People are voting emotionally.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

We should not have seen this.Movies where a lonely piano is sounding and everyone are smiling and everything is so cute and nice are dull.We almost fell asleep.OK we should have turned this movie off but wanted to see the end. Only to read "to be continued".It will take a while before part 2 comes up in Sweden but we do not care about it any more.There are more interesting things to do like watching drying paint.

because there is NO ENDING. This is episode 1 of 2, and we have to wait until Christmas 2016 for part two. My advice...wait until Jan 2017 and watch BOTH episodes (and hope that by then, episode 2 of 2 hasn't morphed into episode 2 of 3. There is NO ENDING. This is episode 1 of 2, and we have to wait until Christmas 2016 for part twoMy advice...wait until Jan 2017 and watch BOTH episodes (and hope that by then, episode 2 of 2 hasn't morphed into episode 2 of 3.If this is the kind of "Christian" deception that we can expect from this "Christian Author", I want no more. Karen Kingsbury wraps herself on the fabric of Christianity as an excuse to steal her viewers trust and good will. I will no longer play that game.

This is a great movie with all the emotional content you've come to expect in a Hallmark Christmas movie. However, what they don't tell you until the very, VERY end is that you'll have to wait another year to see Part 2. I feel the movie was at least an 8 out of 10, but I gave it a 1 for dishonest marketing!What a setup to only have your heart crushed. Merry Christmas, Hallmark! It'll take me two or three days to get over this. Shame on you. To make it worse, IMDb shows no pre-production or filming for either of the lead actors for part 2. This means it's likely already made and in the can. I thought about buying the book to find out how it ends, but I'm not going to financially support this deception.

The only "spoiler" here is that the movie is a spoiler. It's not a movie! It's an EPISODE.It's pretty good when it comes to production & characters. But it's not a complete story! To blindside viewers with a "to be continued in 2016" is unforgivable. This is billed as a MOVIE - not a show. Not a series. Not a part 1 of ___. And now the resolution is a YEAR away?You MUST tell your viewers what they're getting into. NOTHING happens & nothing is resolved in this 2-hour setup.There's more story in the first 2 minutes than the entire rest of the 2 hours until the continuation blindside. Those 2 minutes were what kept me watching to the "end" that isn't an end.Not cool.Rather than upset viewers, be honest upfront & then maybe the entire thing wouldn't feel like 2 hours wasted. Might even help create anticipation rather than letdown.log line posted on the day of airing 12/6/15: When Molly Allen finds out that The Bridge, a beloved bookstore back in her hometown of Franklin, TN, is in jeopardy along with the bookstore's owner, she returns to help, only to come face to face with her old flame.The log line/description provided here on IMDb is completely bogus - probably matches the book, but not the movie. Even if Part 2 does resolve it to match the storyline somewhat, it isn't & never was the lead character's "hometown." And her name is not Molly Allen. So everything about this production is false advertising.In other words, someone really screwed up here, ruining what may turn out to be a nice little series, but not when it's doled out like this.
