The thing I liked about this Christmas themed movie was the location filming, from the Mystic Aquarium, to the drawbridge over the Mystic River, parts of the Christmas boat parade, the pizza shop, the book store, Mystic Seaport, and the bakery. Makes me want to visit there.
The script had a familiar theme: former romantic partners from years past reunite in a serendipitous circumstance, the character played by Jessy Schram is asked to come to Mystic to fill in temporarily at the aquarium, caring for a sick seal. The supporting cast did a convincing job. My biggest criticism was the lack of chemistry between Schram and the male lead, Chandler Massey. Their romantic connection seemed forced and contrived. I was thinking another Hallmark actor may have been a better match for Schram; possibly Sam Page, or Brendan Penny.
