Wow! Such a good movie.
Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Let's be realistic.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
During the Christmas season (and now in mid-summer), Hallmark puts on the Christmas movies where everything always turns out great in the end, and all of the people are usually very nice (oh, they might have a character with a mean streak...who reforms, of course). I actually did like this one. Corny...somewhat. But, not a bad story. And, a couple of good character actors appear: Christopher Lloyd and William Shatner.
I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 400 Christmas MOVIES. SO BEWARE OF BOGUS REVIEWS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. NOW I HAVE NO AGENDA! I AM HONEST! I REVIEW MOVIES AS A WAY TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT I HAVE SEEN.In this film Lindsay has to make a tough decision: stay in her small hometown and marry longtime beau Jason, or accept a once-in-a- lifetime job teaching at an Ivy League college thousands of miles away. Fortunately, a magical messenger gives her a priceless Christmas Time gift.What I liked the most about this film is that it resolved everything and the people featured in this film all have a happier life.The screenplay was well thought out. The plot is a "fantasy" however it is very plausible on how some would react if they find themselves 3 years into the future!
This was a great surprise. Excellent job by Lead actress who was also in "Christmas with Holly" a film I barely remembered- but it was good. The lead actor was great in his role. Excited to be in love and this really helped the film. Movie also has Christopher Lloyd and William Shatner in supporting roles- so it has to be high quality. Also it has a fantasy aspect which really adds excitement.The description does not do the film justice. Yes it is what happened but there is so much more. Through the fantasy she was able to gain perspective and was able to make changes. They paid attention to the little details. A photo with the Dalai-Lama. The scene in the book store where he helps her by asking a question. Well Done. This may be the only first time watched Christmas movie that I give a 10 to this season.
Wow. Can't believe there's only one review on this. Casting was superb, and the story was sweet. Can't believe myself didn't notice the movies from this channel sooner. Always have been a sucker for romantic comedies - even more so when a holiday is added to the mix. First saw Master Eloise Mumford was in Not Safe For Work, and she totally grabbed me in that low-budget movie, then Christmas with Holly - oh, that was awesome. She did excellent job here, and I sure hope to see more of her in Hallmark's holiday stories(Though, for this particular movie - the Dalai Lama part was a tad bit redundant. Just saying). Master Stahl-David... his performance with Master Zoe Kazan in In Your Eyes totally inspired a new story out of me, and in here, his chemistry with Mumford was really amazing. However, even with these amazing protagonists(even with Legendary Master Bill Shatner), of course the top spotlight stealer goes to Master Christopher Lloyd - I seriously did not expect to see him here, and I can't even begin to describe the excitement whenever I even think about his line; "Time travel?" Reference to Back to the Future - man, already made me excited with his cameo in A Million Ways to Die in the West, and now here - top score. The story goes really great: it's really helpful(even with all warnings against knowing too much about the future) to see what happens(or what would happen) in the next few years, to actually know the every step of your way, the ramifications every move you make would bring... then go back to the point of origin, and do things in according to your true self's heart. It's like the story Big Fish - the boy saw how he would die in the future, and learned that he would survive everything else that he came across - it's very helpful. Gosh, I just love so much about these Hallmark stories. Hope they never end. Fantastic work from this kind, open-minded twenty-five-year-old here in China, and may the wonders never fade, and the arrows of Cupid always aim true and find their marks. Congratulations.
