Excellent but underrated film

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Tymon Sutton
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

This would fall under the heading of stupid cute.Katrina Law and Aaron O'Connell star as Anna and Marc. Anna is a painter that is moonlighting as a personal shopper and Marc as a workaholic with no time for fun or family. Marc ends up hiring Anna to shop for his Christmas gifts at $30 an hour. Reality Check #1 - I am in the wrong line of work! Sparks fly between the two over the course of the movie, will one of them make a move? Reality Check #2 - What kind of monster eats a cupcake with a knife and fork? Both of the main characters do!! Ugh. Other than those two gaping WTF plot points the movie was enjoyable.

BEWARE OF BOGUS REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. TRUST ME THIS FILM IS TERRIBLE. NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 400 Christmas MOVIES. I HAVE NO AGENDA. I AM FARE.When Anna, an unemployed painter, is unable to make ends meet, she is hired to become a personal Christmas shopper for Marc, an uptight corporate exec. As they work together, Marc learns that Christmas giving has less to do with the amount of money spent and more to do with the importance of the gift, while Anna discovers she might find success as an artist in a way she never expected. At first lead actor (Aaron O'Connell) reminded me of Brendon Villegas however after about 5 minutes I forgot all about that. Katrina Law looks like (to me) Olivia Munn and someone should cast them as sisters in something. AS for the film itself its is enjoyable. You know how this is going to end. I don't mind the predictable endings its the journey the film takes that is the most important. This film takes a familiar route. However what was nice is that the 2 main characters do not start off as adversary's. That is such a tired cliché now. In this film we learn that her (only) client wanted to be the next John Updike. She is a great painter. She wants (and still wants) to be taken very seriously as an artist. So you you think you know whats going to happen and it does but it is not exactly the ending you think it will be. Katrina Law is a welcome addition to the Hallmark stable of actors. Candace Cameron, Alcia Witt, Danica McKellar all seem to have a film a year. Now This is the 2nd Christmas film I have seen Katrina in. I liked the film "Snow Bride".This film is what you do expect from a Hallmark film. The casting in this film makes this better than the average Hallmark film. Suitable for all ages however males of any age will hate this. AS for me I was never bored but I was the film should have taken a few more chances. Now next year will I watch this again? Well I won't go out of my way to see it but if I stumble upon it I would watch it.

To be completely honest with you, I think it just looks overrated and pretty much trying to keep the actors act fake as possible. It's like your typical Christmas movie that doesn't have a better outcome. I only watched thirty minutes of this movie and I was just disgusted by this really!I didn't even find it funny when it was suppose to be funny like trust me, I would've rather enjoyed it but I unfortunately didn't! I regret sewing this movie and see that it hasn't got a better storyline nor it has any good characters.I'm afraid this is one Hallmark movie to avoid folks....

This year's Hallmark Christmas comedy romance is better than the average one and worth a watch. A struggling artist (Katrina Law) becomes a personal shopper as Christmas approaches. Her first client is an driven ad exec and of course romance ensues.The cast is likable and attractive. Katrina Law plays the artist turned personal shopper. For those who watch 'Arrow' where she plays a fierce warrior woman with a pseudo British accent, this role is a complete 180 and she shows she is versatile and can play the cute romantic lead. She makes a believable looking couple with Aaron O'Connell as the ad exec who works too hard. Donna Mills plays his mother and she looks amazingly young still.There is an obligatory drama just before the romance comes together about her 'art' which makes one ask what's the fuss about.Some Hallmark Christmas movies are too cutesy and the lead actors can be annoying but this one isn't one of them.
