Very much enjoyed this

A self-made billionaire mother wants her daughter to move out of her shadow and out of her cocoon and develop empathy with regular peopleThe mother delivered her daughter prematurely. She went into labor while driving and luckily stopped at a place with people who could help her medically. Now she wants the daughter to prove herself by helping out that group of people. Thirty-five years later. The daughter must find a way to help each of them reach a dream, or she will lose her trust fund and her inheritance.There is no real crisis anywhere in this movie, just a progression of the daughter understanding the people of the community and growing closer to the local man helping her. Very nice movie.

Not the best but definitely a great outing the genre

The best part of this was the great chemistry between Kevin and Taylor. They look great together but there was a believable connection, not too overdone or scripted.Another thing I liked about this one was that it was a hidden identity much like we get with secret royals and heirs in other movies, but this one didn't turn it into the 20 minutes left just before the 2nd to last commercial break conflict. In fact, that didn't really exist and it was so refreshing!While it was big city vs small town there wasn't a huge issue on who is staying who is going long distance nonsense. It's purely that a small town can brighten the heart of the season.They didn't do enough to explain really why he had to be the lawyer other than just tax breaks of gifting which he wouldn't need to actually help if that's the case. Also, cardinal rule of lawyers was broken- don't get romantically involved with your clients. I'll forgive it this time.I thought all of the side characters were great, especially the mom and diner owner. The town is cute and it wasn't too over done town traditions (minus her as the elf but that wasn't too overplayed either).I thought this was really well done for a hallmark movie. It was just missing a certain pizzazz that kept it from a higher rating that I save for my favorite of the year each year.I would watch it again and I think the quality of the acting and absence of certain overdone cliches raise it above the average hallmark movie.

This was enjoyable...

Of course I was not familiar with this movie prior to sitting down to watch it here in December, as part of my Christmas movie marathon month.And without ever having heard about the movie, I didn't know what I was in for, aside from what I assumed would be a standard sappy Christmas movie, based on the movie's cover alone. But I suppose that writer Brook Durham and director Jason Bourque had every opportunity to entertain and bedazzle me with this 2024 movie.The storyline in the movie, as written by Brook Durham, was actually a good and enjoyable one. There were actually more contents to the storyline than the usual girl slowly falls for boy romance that the Christmas movies tend to use as a base script. I have to admit that I was actually genuinely entertained by the script and was thoroughly enjoying watching the movie.Of the entire cast ensemble, I was only familiar with Eric Keenleyside. I was not familiar with leading actress Taylor Cole, but she was really well-cast for this movie, and she performed rather well. She has a great on-screen charisma. All of the acting in the movie was great, and they definitely had some good talents on the cast list.If you enjoy Christmas movies, and want a bit more than the archetypical formulaic Hallmark sappy romance, then you should sit down to watch "A Reason for the Season".While "A Reason for the Season" is not going to become a reoccurring Christmas classic in my household, it is still a movie that I would recommend you to check out.My rating of director Jason Bourque's 2024 movie "A Reason for the Season" lands on a six out of ten stars.
