I can see the casting call now, "For the male lead...no one good looking. Send us instead the actor who looks most like a life-size, barely, elf. Casting the secondaries? Please send us the most homely, unattractive actors you have." So besides being difficult to watch that at time you winced, the female character is such an unsympathetic person, a real pill. She was rude and snippy to everyone. You don't have to make someone a complete b#$&h to have honest character change. The script was just okay, though the fashion designer's choices were odd. The flannel onesie with the red bib on the hero made me laugh out loud, and I don't think it was supposed to be funny. A Hispanic who was Jewish, I suppose it's possible, and then there's the great dialogue like "I'm a good sewer," not so much. Try seamstress.

While some of the new holiday Hallmark movies are turning out to be weak and emotionless, not to mention silly, this is the worse I've had the misfortune to see. It's a complete thumbs down. 90 minutes you will never get back.

This was a well acted and positive movie. I watch a lot of these types of Holiday Christmas movies and this one was actually less cliche than some that I know the middle and end in the first 10 minutes. The lead actors were great and the cast was very good. Very few of these movies are "amazing" but it's a genre that is enjoyable and does not take itself overly serious. The location for this movie was actually cold enough to see the actors were outside and see their breath. The snow, as usual was a mix of real and fake, but that is the norm. The dialogue was not corny and the actors were believable. Watch it!
