Movie #1278 ........................."Finding Father Christmas"

Movie #1278 "Finding Father Christmas"  --- this is one of my favorite so far --- of course, it would be, being grounded in theatre --- the woman (I've seen her a number of times in these Hallmark movies -- she's very natural, but occasionally has trouble with the overly emotional stuff) Erin Krakow had a mother who was an actress but comes to this town where she thinks she might be able to find out about her dad, who, she thinks, was another actor.  Of course, there's a cutesy little girl  ---- of course, there is a winning guy who drives the very romantic horse and buggy everywhere in town, and of course, there's a mother-in-law type person --- this time it is played by Wendi Malick and she's very good and puts all kinds of layers into the character.  I liked this a lot --- I actually put everything down to follow the story --- and I highly recommend it.  4 stars out of 5.
