An author is forced to look after his niece and nephew during the holiday season. His next-door neighbor helps him with his Christmas spirit. Starring Jesse Metcalfe, Fiona Gubelmann, and Brittany Bristow.
This is a typical Hallmark Christmas film. We have a man who thinks he’s jinxed for Christmas. Some of the synopsis makes it sound like he hates women, but that is not the case; he just likes his life as is until someone comes along to brighten it. It’s a good story, and the chemistry between the actors is good. Although, it does have some problems with the script and scenes. The biggest problem that annoyed me throughout the film was how the neighbors were supposed to be a couple of doors down and yet they could hear everything going on in each other’s house. If the noise was that loud, I feel for the neighbors between them. Then, it does look like they are neighbors, but when the author goes to the girl’s house, a man answers – very confusing set. There was so much continuity loss that it was really annoying. This film is not worth the watch.
