Movie #1645 "Christmas Made to Order" --- I liked this one --- yes, it has formula stuff like a meet cute scene (she douses him with fake snow), interrupted kiss, decorating the trees, carols, making cookies, big corporation vs. small business, etc. But it doesn't seem forced and there are some different activities.... like collecting toys for kids and making mull cider.* The girl is so good in this, too. He says 1/2 the amount of lines as she does, but he's passable. He looks conceited and arrogant, but he isn't with her, so that persuades the viewer that they are made for each other , and I liked that, too. Most of all, the theme deals with balance of work and family and to follow your dreams, or at least to modify along the way --- both those lessons are important and make the film, worthy to watch. 4 stars out of 5.
PS * and finally a tradition we have for xmas! Seeing A christmas movie!!!!
