Movie #2060 ........................."Christmas She Wrote" (Hallmark)

 Movie #2060 "Christmas She  Wrote" (Hallmark)  I never liked the guy in this film ---  very narcissistic,cruel at times.  He comes across that way  when he calls her in to fire her in the opening --- then, she leavesto take a break from her column  writing, and she goes back home to regroup and make  some career decisions. Meanwhile her boss gets an ultimatum that if he doesn't rehire her, he will lose his job, so he goes to her hometown town  her  back. There's not much  to like  of him through  2/3's of this  film  -- oh, he has baggage and tells his story,  somewhat, but he is still cold,  and we still see him work hard at  winning her over  -- to keep his job?  His  acting doesn't show  he has mixed feelings. I like Danica, and I try to watch everything she  does during the year, and she,  once again, came across believable as a  very strong  woman  searching for a new career or a way to hold on to her other one without having to sell her soul.  I have suggestion for Hallmark  -- why not put Danica back with  her "Wonder Years" partner, Ben Savage's brother Fred?  That would be fun to watch! I'd give this one a 3 out of 5.
