Thoughts
Judge me all you want, but I really enjoyed this film. It's got all those festive Hallmark tropes - it's cheap, the script is clunky, and the chemistry is questionable. But I loved the time travel aspect of it, and how it all worked itself out, it was fun. You do have to question how quickly the guy seemed to accept everything in the modern world, I know he's an engineer but a microwave must be mind-bending for someone where barely electricity exists. Cheap and cheerful, warm and cosy, I recommend this one.
Rating: 4 / 5
