High hopes for this one and Lori's return to movies despite the many recent Christmas movie disappointments from Great American Family. Unfortunately, this was a huge disappointment with a distinct low-budget feel including: -Annoying background music throughout the entire movie -Terrible "winter" decor consisting of obvious fake snow carpets, cheap tinsel garlands, and odd leftover Christmas decorations.

-An unconvincing candy shop set with very little candy and no display cases, but plenty of diner-style counter stools.

-Absolutely no chemistry between the poorly matched leads.

-Awkward dialogue and a plodding storyline.

I was really looking forward to Lori Loughlin's return. She needed a better script. She tried, but this movie was awful. Honestly couldn't finish it. She was good, but she could not carry the whole movie. The script was terrible. I never felt a connection between her and the male lead. He seemed boring. It was so predictable. The background music was annoying. I kept wanting to turn the music down so I could attempt to enjoy the movie. I restarted the movie 3 times and the music would start and I would get annoyed and turn it off. I could have tried the close captioning option, but that's aggravating also. Please keep her in the movies, but please find some better writers.

It's difficult to identify why we deleted this on the DVR, because it was bad in so many ways. {And this has nothing to do with Lori's prison stretch. She paid the price and that's over}.

The premise of her her brother suddenly moving and pressing her to agree to sell his half to an investor was just not realistic. That successful investor guy walking in and trying to take over a tiny candy shop was ridiculous. The faked awkward chemistry was obvious. Who thought this setup was a good movie idea? A moron did obviously.

Bad script, awkward acting, weird circumstances, and just plain bad. So we hit delete and moved on. I gave it a "3" since I was feeling generous (and embarrassed for everyone involved). Here's a word of advice: Next time put on your thinking cap so you don't repeat this dog.
