The Noel Diary

I mean, very predictable in many ways, and yet I enjoyed it quite a bit. The back story was reasonably compelling, acting was good. Ending could have used a bit better of a wrap up but not too hard to imagine where it went.

Quite liked this movie to be honest. The acting, especially of the woman, was very good. Didn't really need the romance in the story, but it was kind of satisfying (- the cheating part). Pretty surprised by this one.

Very cute

Good for the Hallmark (Netflix) genre, but it is hard to justify any higher of a rating.

This is one of those Hallmark Christmas movies that's not actually a Hallmark Christmas movie and so is punctuated by surprising bursts of authenticity. I don't totally hate Justin Hartley as an actor.

Dead relative - check, classic car - check, handsome single guy - check, engaged woman who doesn't really want to be engaged - check, small town with wildly diverse population - check, romance that really has nothing to do with Christmas and would bore the hell out of your kids, and probably you - check. Me giving up half way through - check.
