This is an entirely typical Hallmark Christmas movie, with the typical talent level, story line, and characters. There must be a Kellie Pickler hate club out there to really attack her in these reviews the way they have. She's just as OK an actor as anyone else in most Hallmark Christmas movies. I watch a bunch of these every year. They're pleasant, predictable, and cheery. None of the absolute worthless big dollar movies that Hollywood puts out, like cheerless Four Christmases, with Vince Vaughn and and Reese Witherspoon as two self-centered A-holes with no redeeming characteristics who don't learn anything or grow. This movie, on the other hand, has some heart at least.
Seems like the bad reviews focus on irrational hate for the lead, or on the real Memphis not typically getting snow in December, and it makes me think these same people must have reviewed the Marvel movies poorly because humans don't really have super powers. Compared to that, a snowy couple weeks in Memphis doesn't require much more suspension of disbelief.
If you like Hallmark Christmas movies, you'll be satisfied with this one. It doesn't even have that one character who always hates Christmas until an attractive person helps them to learn to love it.
