Ending is the Antithesis of the xmas spirit
Actually a charming movie with good actors, decent chemistry and enough filled to make the first three quarters fairly entertaining. Then, as others have said, the ending is enough to make your blood boil. The evil real estate mogul manipulates the lead and flips the property back to her a day late for a $1.3 million profit. And everyone is singing merry Christmas and thanking him for being so kind and generous to sell it back. Are you kidding me? Also agree with others that the lead was frustratingly stupid for signing over the property without reading it, given that she was supposed to be so savvy. And agree that she would have been able to sue the pants off her boyfriend/attorney for malpractice, because he clearly violated her client privilege by colluding with the seller to mislead her into thinking he would keep the property as is. Or because he conveyed to her that the contract would keep the property as is, an he clearly knew the opposite. The ending of this movie is like if scrooge didn't learn the meaning of Christmas but instead sold tiny Tim a crutch for $150 and then let Tiny Tim sit on his lap and help count the gold coins at the end.
Horrible ending!
I enjoy Christmas movies when I want to forget about all the lousy news in the world. This movie COULD have been nice - cute story line, good- looking actors... but part of the story included an evil businessman who basically tricks the main character out of her property then is willing to give it back to her if she pays him over a MILLION DOLLARS. So you'd think with a nice Hallmark movie, the bad man would come to his senses on Christmas Eve and all is right. Well, no, he showed up on Christmas Eve to collect his money - and all the poor working people had to hand over their life savings to this thief while they all stood around together with him saying 'Merry Christmas'! It was ludicrous!
I agree...Nonsensical ending!
It is a Xmas movie, right? How the heck do they have an immoral, greedy real estate developer come out a huge winner? On top of that they put him (Mason) in a major scene with townspeople and it is all smiles. When they should have been running him out of town tarred and feathered. How Mason became a 'winner' is nonsensical. It calls for signing a million dollar+ contract with a 'stranger' and without reading it. Two weeks to renovate a run down Christmas Land and all we see is a single purchase of a few cans of paint. Voila, it is magically as great looking as in years gone by. Did you know that a coffee can,not even a large one, cannot hold hundreds of thousands of dollars? Finally, our 'hero' attorney can not come up with a single creative approach to help nail greedy, immoral Mason.
Great 60 minutes of Christmas Movie- Last 20 not so- Watch it Anyways
I love the 3 main characters in this movie; Jules the grand daughter heir to Christmas land (Nikki Deloach), Tucker (Luke Macfarlane) the good guy, and Mitchell the bad for you boyfriend. Nikki Deloach was in "A Dream of Christmas" this year- which was a much better movie (I hope she continues to do Christmas movies). I really enjoyed the first 30 minutes, liked the second 30 minutes but the final part of the movie really lagged. Richard Karn (Home Improvements Al) character just didn't work. I noticed they put well known actresses like Cynthia Gibbs and Maureen McCormick in such really small parts. I loved that they put Chonda Pierce in the movie and that worked well. Most of the reviews hated the ending of the story and I agree. I would recommend watching it though.
Worst Hallmark Christmas movie ending I've ever seen
One of my wife's favorite things to do leading up to and during Christmas is to watch Hallmark Christmas movies. So we've watched a lot. I've come to expect the normal formula for this type of movie: setup a situation with someone who has some sort of anti-Christmas issue, then they somehow overcome it (and most likely an antagonist) and all is well by the end of the movie, with the added bonus that most of the time someone falls in love as well. The plots differ, but there is a basic formula. This movie takes a slightly different approach but it falls into the general category. You also have to expect that the movie will be somewhat unrealistic when compared to real life, but that is what makes it fun watching, especially at Christmas. I think everyone, deep down, wants a "happily ever after" ending and Hallmark movies always deliver. Well until now and if you watch this movie. I will not go into the details (you can read the other reviews with spoilers, which I recommend before investing the time to watch this movie) but the way they ended this movie just made me shake my head. I was frustrated enough with the plot development and final conflict resolution that I created an account on IMDb to vent, I looked for a way on Hallmark's site but did not see a user review section. I was actually surprised the overall rating was so high, considering how much of a downer the ending was. I almost gave it a 1 to do something about it, but ended up giving it a 2 because of the two lead characters. Their acting was good and their chemistry was engaging. They did their part, its just too bad that the writer, producer or director did not. If you want the typical feel good ending so that you can feel better about humanity during the Christmas season, one that Hallmark usually provides, then DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE, find another!
