![]() ![]() Actually, all the actors do a great job with their roles even the contemptible ex-boyfriend is done so well he's actually enjoyable. (3) Gammon's performance as the dad he has made a career out of this type of character and he is spot on. ![]() Here are some of the reasons: (1) This takes place in real central California locations, not a Canadian city or town pretending to be "Christmastown, Anywhere." (It's usually part of the fun guessing if the locale is Ontario or BC, and here it's actually where it's pointed out to be, which is unique.) (2) There are three or four comic lines of dialogue that made me laugh, even howl, out loud (with the movie, not at it, which is also unique). As much as I've come to expect the hokey, predictable story lines and cliché characters, this movie doesn't exactly break from all that completely, but I was impressed by how entertained I was. We have sat through a lot of dreck and truly painful, endless, tiresome TV movies. Every Christmas my wife and I make a point to watch as many Hallmark, Lifetime and ABC Family holiday movies as possible. ![]()
