Kyle (Casper Van Dien) and Jenna (Rachel Wilson) are business compatriots, but they are on differing sides of things. Kyle works for a ruthless law firm, and Rachel represents the little guys. Their siblings are married and are expecting their second child, so Kyle and Jenna are on the way to watch over their niece and to help their brother and sister in the hospital. But they are at odds with each other from the start. To top it off, they end up on a never-ending search for a missing pet, and may never make it to the hospital, but to further complicate things, they learn that the couple is broke, about to lose their home, and the group that is foreclosing on the property is defended by Kyle’s law firm. But underneath it all, they are still attracted to each other, even though they seem like complete opposites.
This simple Hallmark Christmas movie is of the romantic comedy kind. It’s full of colorful characters. The little girl who is their niece steals the show, although the old neighbor lady with her little dog Lamb is very good too. The starring couple has a decent chemistry throughout, and it’s very believable. It’s one of those disaster upon disaster films that doesn’t get resolved until the last scene, just like a good Christmas story should. All in all, this is decent Christmas story and not a bad one to spend an evening with.
