So many missed opportunities

The good: recognition for a hidden disability.The bad: too many moments of awkward dialog, a cringy, stalker-like ex-boyfriend character, and too many unrealistic moments that detract from the overall message, especially with the aforementioned ex-boyfriend. Also, I wish Hallmark would really vet scripts to make sure they accurately portray professions. Schools never have a database of teachers' personal cell phone numbers for parent use, and teachers would never just up and leave in the middle of the school day on a whim. The formulaic conflict in the last half hour was unnecessary and unrealistic.

It is not bad but...

Michelle is an optometrist who suspects her daughter's teacher might be color blind and makes it her mission to help him.I appreciate Hallmark for giving us new plots, different than the usual, I also appreciate giving the characters any condition or disability since human beings are not perfect.While the premise of this movie was interesting it could have been made better. The beginning was very boring for me and I thought of turning it off. The there is the scientific aspect of the movie: color blindness isn't seeing in black and white but according to this, it is. In fact, one type of this condition is mixing red and green and I thought that could have worked better given it is a Christmas movie.I like that Ryan is discovering and enjoying Christmas like it's a brand new thing. But then there is the misunderstanding at the end of the movie. I thought we were passed that with these movies. And don't even get me started with Michelle's ex, red flags everywhere. I thought the leads were okay but they had little to no chemistry and the script didn't help either.Anyway, not a bad plot, it was simply poorly executed. I would have changed a few details.
