I'm glad to see another movie that is somewhat out of the typical pattern for Christmas movies. It doesn't dwell on all those usual Christmas traditions. On the other hand, the story is pretty predictable.
What makes it for me is Sarah Carter and Damon Runyan. They spend screen time together. They have fun. They make chemistry. Sarah Carter has an infectious laugh and looks for the happy things.
I enjoyed the singing and the dancing.
*** EDIT*** Second time I watched this, I took a different view of the last part of the movie, so if you read my review earlier, I have taken that out.
They also left open the whole Chicago - Texas, which is just as bad as Chicago - New York.
