So much average

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Sarah Rosen Fruitman is quite cute. For a kid actor she did what she needed to in order to make you fall in love with her. Without her, you lose at least 3 stars.Roma Downey was believable as the single mom and attractive as the potential love interest. Eric McCormack was stiff most of the time, but that was his character.The plot is both predictable and still has a little twist that becomes obvious about half way through.I've enjoyed this movie several times spread out since 1997.

I liked this movie. Yes, it is formulaic. There is no doubt in your mind this is going to be a boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl. It is simply this: a feel good movie. And if you don't mind seeing a movie that has "been done before", slightly different plots, different actors, cute kids, at Christmas, and you love the moment the boy and girl realize they love each other, then get your mug of hot cocoa, grab some holiday presents you need to wrap, and watch something that doesn't require your rapt attention. I personally am a sucker for romance: corny, Disney, Classics, Jane Austen, Bronte, TV shows/ movies, etc, etc. As long as boy gets girl, happy ending, I'm in! It's okay to like movies like this: fluff entertainment. Every movie doesn't need to be deep.

When a businessman decides to move the shop to Mexico for an improvement in profits he must impress the buyer with, not only the price, but with his image as a solid family man. The problem is he's a swinging bachelor. A plot is hatched to hire a woman and her child to pose as the spouse and offspring of the executive in order to push through he deal. After the "wife" moves in everything moves along smoothly for awhile but eventually begins to unravel. A christmas angel in disguise is present to soften the businessman's uncaring heart. Good holiday film.

I first saw this movie in a re-run, and only saw the last half. After seeing the last half, I just couldn't wait to watch it from beginning to end. This is the kind of movie that after you start watching it you just can't leave it for any reason until it's over. All of the actors and actresses just made it so believable that you felt like you were friends with the characters at the end. I didn't even realize that Roma Downey was playing Kathleen until I'd been watching it for a few minutes. You wouldn't expect her to be good at the part of a struggling single mother, but she really was. It had the perfect casting combination, and the writers also knew what they were doing. It had a great plot, and is a movie that people would enjoy at just about any age. It's rare that you see a movie like this on television today.
