Christmas Getaway (2017 TV Movie)
6/10
straight forward Hallmark
25 July 2019
Emory Blake (Bridget Regan) is a workaholic travel writer. She is often away from her San Francisco home. When her boyfriend invites her to visit his family in Boston for Christmas, she turns him down and they break up. She is eager for her next work assignment doing a story on a cabin holiday in Pine Grove. She is shocked when Scott Hays (Travis Van Winkle) seems to have broke in and gives him a swift kick. The owner had double booked the rental. Scott is a widower with his daughter Katy and waiting for his mother Marilyn (Teryl Rothery) to arrive. Emory agrees to go home but her car breaks down and she's forced to stay. Alice Bennett is a parent to Katy's classmate Johnny.

It's a rather straight forward romance. There is a hint of a love triangle but Alice is never given enough screen time to be a bigger character. In the end, the path is singular and straight. There are no turns, no twists, and no surprises. There is a predictable misunderstanding and an easy resolution. It's a Hallmark movie.
