Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!

Interesteg What makes it different from others?

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Jack Vasen Not that this movie was bad. For me it was more the fact it did not catch my interest. This is another of the - we're going to lose our inn- movies. Problem is, I didn't care that much. And closing it makes sense apart from the tradition aspect. I didn't think Nicky Whelan and Josh Kelly's characters connected. And their solution to the problem is lame.The details of this story were a little unusual, but not enough. Jared says early on to his dad that he has something of a situation, but that mystery doesn't really get explored unless it is the romance..This is pretty much what you expect from a Hallmark Christmas move. I enjoy them, but not this one. But for others who like this type of movie, you might find something to like.

Christmas-Reviewer I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 400 ( C H R I S T M A S ) MOVIES AND SPECIALS.PLEASE BEWARE OF SOME REVIEWERS THAT ONLY HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. NOW I HAVE NO AGENDA! I REVIEW MOVIES & SPECIALS AS A WAY TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT I HAVE SEEN! I HAVE DISCOVERED MANY GEMS IN MY QUEST TO SEE AS MANY " C H R I S T M A S " MOVIES AS I CAN. Someone keeps reporting my reviews. I guess they are jealous because I do tell the truth. I want to point out that I never make snide remarks about actors weight or real life sexual orientation. If there acting is terrible or limited "I talk about that". If a story is bad "I will mention that" So why am I being "picked on"? IMDB will not even tell me what someone found offensive. Well on to the review :A group of adults from different parts of the country have sworn off partaking in holiday events. Two of those people are Molly and Jared. Upon arriving at their destination, they discover it's a Christmas themed ranch. With no flight out until after Christmas!I do not want to give more story away. I will say it is what you expect but so well made. The casting is great and it has everything you would want in a "Christmas Movie". What I like about this film it hits its marks expertly. The film is about "Love" "Hope" , and "Forgiveness". I also like how it show traditions are important and its okay to make new ones throughout all of our lives. Of all the "Countdown To Christmas Movies 2017" this one was the best. I will see this again & again. Merry Christmas

gmartzer I as really looking forward to seeing this movie and it didn't disappoint me! I would agree with 'Quite Sweet', it was refreshing watching her and not the typical giggly, air-head character they have play the love interest. Would love to see the two love interest act together again. Only bummer, really thought this was filmed in Vermont, but it was in Connecticut.

managementbykristi The highlight for me was the quality of acting from the female lead. I was happy she wasn't one of the ditzy, giggly female leads you usually see in these types of movies. I really liked how grounded her character was.The Jamaica joke was funny. Her Caribbean outfit and going on about drinking rum punch was hilarious .The only con for me was the reason the girl became angry with the guy - I thought she should have been upset that he lied to the sweet old couple and that he was wrong for coming to the lodge under a pretence. It seemed odd that her issue would be that he lied to her.
