I enjoyed this Hallmark movie(despite some annoyances)of course in typical fashion,it was clichéd & similar storylines have been done..
Airport cancels flight,car breaks down & miracles happen along the way.. etc.
Need to(basically)agree with a reviewer.. Why do people feel entitled to guilt or hurt anyone during the Christmas holiday,as though is acceptable because it's a time of goodwill or else!
Yes unfortunately some people are more well off,others not so much & not saying be a cold hearted scrooge but feel we've become a society looking for easy handouts.
Such an example..
The waitress gets upset over a tip,the priest gets involved to guilt a customer..
How do we know he wasn't having hardship of some kind too,so being confronted made him sound less than kind & later the priest justifies it by assuming he was once like that guy. Wow! Talk about both,the waitress & the priest being pushy.
Even prior to this the priest is asking for help with meals although commendable what he might be trying to accomplish just felt he was always causing guilt for his missions,again where is it law because of the season means boundaries don't exist or saying no means.. Grinch!
If that was my diner unfortunately the priest might be asked to not return or the waitress reprimanded,considering the circumstances they overstepped.
The hospice worker although she also got involved,when she took the file her client had it was done with"good intentions"(despite invasion of privacy,hmm)glad the waitress got some closure to her adoption..
Still in the real world none of these people,would be actively employed for long.
With that said.. It was cast good,acting was ok & cinematography decent.
This year have actually enjoyed several movies,hoping they got fresh writers with ideas because the cookie cutter programs get boring.
Worth a watch at least once,this holiday season.
