Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

disneychurro I really wanted to love this movie, but I simply did not. I liked it. The story was sweet.CONTAINS SPOILERS ~ ~ ~ ~This was a cute story, like many Hallmark Christmas movies, about finding love. There was not a lot of chemistry between some of the actors/actresses and that is the only reason I could not rate it higher. Country Boy and City girl were adorable together, very believable as a couple. I liked their characters and the acting was not too bad. I don't think for one moment anybody would believe city boy would be interested in any girl. They should have cast a different actor so that the "connection" they spoke of would be believable. Their story had no sparks and at the end of the movie I thought, they wont last.In the end the movie was alright, but I felt there was something missing to the plot. They could have dropped the scenes with some extras and added to the plot about Ryan's past, Shawn telling her everything about his and maybe helping the audience to believe they really like one another.Anyhow, that is just my opinion. I still think the movie is worth watching.

francesfarmersrevengeonseattle This is an adorable holiday film. The plot is a direct ripoff of "The Holiday" with Jude Law and Cameron Diaz, where two couples suffer breakups at Christmas. Instead, "Finding Christmas" is two dumped but good looking guys from completely different worlds. Through the miracle of house swapping, Sean and Owen adventure completely out of their socioeconomic worlds and personal comfort zones to escape their broken hearts at Christmas. The major differences between this film and it's predecessor duplicate "The Holiday" is the budget, name recognition actors, acting skill set - and this one is set in Manhatten and North Carolina, instead of London and LA. It's predictable, entertaining and, in the never- ending Hallmark holiday movie allure, is all about finding love, happiness and joy at Christmastime. Despite its flaws and JT Hodges' bizarre Ken-doll hairdo, I love this lovely little holiday romp. Oddly, the mostly Canadian actors all seem so uncomfortable with one another. The dialogue is stilted and dreadfully rushed. It's as if the director was twirling his hands constantly to speed up the pace so they can get the entire film before the budget clock stops. Strangely, male lead JT Hodges as Owen, is a country singer in real life. His turn as actor seems the most natural and comfortable of the entire cast. By contrast, female lead Tricia Helfer, who plays Owen's sister, Ryan, couldn't be more awkward if she tried. Fortunately she has great teeth, was a Victoria's Secret model, and is super thin and tall - because her biggest acting skill is hiding behind shy, coy smiles. I admire the fact that the film stylists didn't put a lot of extensions in her hair, and let her look more like a country vet than a former supermodel. I believe the timeline for the entire film is a week or less. In that span of time both leading guys meet and fall for the perfect women, who just so happen to be the two leading girls. The girls are also associated with the two leading men, so it's less confusion all around. You can only wonder how a hot shot NY advertising wizard can stay in NC with a hometown vet, his hearts's love, or the other way around, but that's analyzing the film a little too heavily. Just watch and enjoy it for its simple message and Christmas spirit.

rjspear It is one of the few Christmas love story movies that isn't too sappy. It does help it to be the holiday season to watch it. The cast is composed of familiar faces and it is interesting to see the beautiful Ms. Helfer in a different setting. The male leads are well acted as well. Another Hallmark Channel production to go along with their Christmas themed movies that is filmed in Canada with a large Canadian supporting cast. If you like country music this has a few Christmas songs with a country accent. It is slow to start but by ten minutes into the movie it picks up speed and is good enough that you won't be checking your watch. All in all an enjoyable Christmas movie.

Diane Wiley This movie has a somewhat predictable plot line, as do most of the Hallmark holiday movies: boy meets girl, boy loses girl (through a series of misunderstandings), and boy and girl finally get together. In this case, it's a gender reversal of the movie "The Holiday". There are some cute twists to the story and the dialog is believable. Unfortunately, as is usual for Hallmark, the characters are a little simplistic, so I was pleasantly surprised ... no, DELIGHTFULLY surprised at J.T. Hodges' cover of "Joy to the World." It was wonderful. His rendition was simple, fresh, while still being respectful. It made me want to hear more and I've watched the movie twice just to hear the song again.
