Christmas Class Reunion

Aimee Teagarden is delightful, but I am not sure she is enough to make this a top shelf Hallmark holiday romance. This starts in the past with a high school prom when things don't go exactly as planned for class President Elle. The guy she likes doesn't ask her to dance and she gets doused in a bucket of water from the snow machine while on stage in front of everyone.

Now it is fifteen years later and they have yet to have a successful reunion...but this year Elle is determined to make it the best. They loose their venue and their decorations last minute...but thanks to a core group of friends and Devin, the one responsible for the water incident back in the day, this may be the first successful reunion.

There is a lot going on in this holiday romance...this is less about a boy and girl falling in love and more about a group, which seems to be a bit of a theme lately on Hallmark. Elle's loosing her job, real estate agents and married couple (the most romantic in high school) Jay and Katie's relationship is in trouble, and low self-esteem Samantha is hoping for a big job opportunity in New York...oh! And Devin is a single Dad who is trying to go from fun one to responsible one.

The film is cute, but the variety of storylines really detracts from the actual romance. Not as funny as I would like a high school reunion film to be and not as romantic as I would like a holiday romance to be...I can't say I recommend this to my fellow romantics. There are better films in spite the delightful and handsome actors.
