VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Rob-o My wife and I watched some of this movie last night. It was part of Hallmark's bizarre Christmas in July series. To be honest, we had this movie on in the background while we were doing other things. At one point, we both left the room to play with our daughter for about half an hour, and we left this movie on while we were gone. I think we watched a total of 20 minutes of this movie. We were a little miffed that Lacy Chabert was not in this movie, but my wife's anger was somewhat placated by the presence of Jaime King. My wife told me that Jaime King is part of Taylor Swift's "girl squad". I don't know what a girl squad is, but it sounds scary. Taylor Swift, according to my wife, is pretty washed up, so that begs the question: if you are a has- been, as Taylor Swift is at this moment, how can you possibly sustain a "squad"? I hope Taylor Swift puts out another album so that she is not abandoned by her squad, turns to drugs and prostitution, begins murdering endangered species for their pelts, and then spends the rest of her life in prison.I'm not entirely sure what happened in the Mistletoe Promise. At the end, Jaime King was kissing someone, and I assume that she wasn't kissing the villain of the movie. So I highly recommend this movie either in July or during the Christmas season. If not for your own enjoyment, then at least watch it to save Taylor Swift's life.

sndbd-93781 Enjoyable and its always fun to see mutual interests grow to friendship, especially at Christmas.. the most stressful season! The film takes us on an original premise, a promise, to watch strangers reveal how they came to be where they are today... and how they can help each other resolve issues, and take pleasure in seeing it unfold. Isn't that the Christmas spirit?Oh, there are definite production problems along the way... the extras working in the film are so bad, its distracting beyond belief -- particularly in the food court, and the snow man building contest. The fake snow is also very annoying. But the main characters do keep your attention. Sarah Smyth, as Ashley, was particularly believable. You want to believe that it's a wonderful life... including for a lawyer and a travel shop operator. Miracles... and good people... can live Christmas every day of the year. Now, it's time to read the book.

jmhart-1 Having read the book, my wife and I both commented at the end of the movie, "What happened to the book?" In the book, Elise has been dumped on by her ex-husband and best friend. She has a dull job where she is put down by Zoey, has no friends and harbors a secret that drags her down. Not like Elise in the movie. Although a partner at his law firm, Nick is also lonely and harbors a secret that drags him down. In the movie, Elise and Nick come closer together and in the end, you expect them to tell each other their secrets, but it never happens. That is what makes the book so good. If you have two hours to spend, forget the movie and read the book. You will feel a lot better.

jpmccann5 Loved the book by Richard Paul Evans. This movie "based on" the book actually had almost nothing in common with the book. The names of the characters, their jobs, and the fact that they made an agreement to be one another's companions for a few weeks until Christmas were the only parts of the story that even vaguely resembled the book. This was a totally different story! The book had mystery and substance. The book showed a dramatic character arc as both protagonists eventually fell in love, shared their innermost secrets and found they were still loved. The movie is stupid. HALLMARK, why would you make such drastic changes to a perfect story?
