Thoughts
I loved this. The sets were a bit cheap and there wasn't enough Melissa Joan Hart, but apart from that I can't find too much to complain about. The cast were fab, the story fun, and the rom-com element of it was really good. I thought I'd be annoyed that she didn't end up taking the big job and moving to Boston, but actually it wasn't too bad, because she found that she was making a difference where she was... it wasn't all just for the guy. A lovely feel-good Christmas movie.
Rating: 4 / 5
