Good acting, memorable story, shame about the attire

Memorable little Christmas romantic movie. Good chemistry between the couple. You could feel a twinge in the heart strings when Oliver was breaking the news to Kate about the weather.Only gripe is that the production could have paid more attention to the setting. They went all out with the decorations, but forgot about the weather. Christmas Eve in Nova Scotia and you have folks in autumnwear? I know filming was done in August, but it wouldn't have hurt to dress the actors in timeline-appropriate gear. It gets to me when filmmakers don't put in the details that aid the believability of the story.And it sure doesn't look like the weather is terrible enough to ground all flights for 3 days. I had to suspend my disbelief throughout all the outdoor scenes.

Warm and Meaningful

Truly a heart-warming story well worth an attentive watch. The message here from the citizens of Christmas Island is how gratifying it is to share of one's self with others - what most of us who celebrate the spirit of Christmas wish to experience. There's no cliches, "wow" moments, or fluff in this story. My only knock was the story was a little slow to unfold. Once it did, you witness the Sharpe couple realize their financial success has come at a price of sacrificing their other talents, and their teenage daughter learns that she could accomplish wonders "offline", and become more empathetic to her little brother by reading a letter to Santa. Andrew Walker, one of Hallmark's finest, enhances this cast, and he, along with his fellow citizens, lead the visitors, Kate (the pilot) and the Sharpe's to rediscover joy and romance.

Another Christmas Fave!

If you a lover of Hallmark Christmas Movies, this one of the best!I watch at least 20 per Christmas Season from November through the Holidays on the usual channels; Hallmark (all 3 channels ) and the Lifetime Channel.These movies are always heartwarming and put me in the Christmas Spirit.This movie was adorable ! The chemistry between the leads (Andrew Walker - my personal FAVOURITE Actor) and Rachel Skarsten was cute.The story was certainly a new one ! A High Strung Famous LA Family getting stranded on Christmas Island via a Storm while flying in their private jet. Their Pilot? KATE (Rachel Skarsten) on her 1st trip in her new job as a private pilot. No spoilers here.This movie was actually filmed in the place that it purported to be ! It was not filmed in Nova Scotia pretending to be Maine but filmed in Nova Scotia and they got stranded on Christmas Island, Nova Scotia!I always rate my Hallmark Movies by if they give me goosebumps or make me tear up from Christmas happiness. This had both :)This was a really Cute movie and a 10!
