Movie #2170 "Hearts of Winter" (Hallmark) Part of my weaning process from Hallmark Christmas movies is to briefly catch up on Hallmark movies I haven't seen before that aren't christmassy, and this was one of them. I like Jill Wagner, but I think Victor Webster is oftentimes a bit stiff, but she and the lovely daughter soften him much in this film, to make the film a bit better than average. I like to watch the designing practice, but I acknowledge that it is used way too much for the stage business in a Hallmark film. That being said, it is always fun to watch the gradual changeover for the nondeisgner (in this case the grieving father of a perky young girl) change his mind as to the importance of the whole decorating idea --- esp. when it seems to be in the dream house of his dead wife. The one complaint I have is that the conflict was too quick and in the last 15 minutes, which leaves little time to be sincere and believable to me, but it was a fun watch for most of the time. 3.5 out of 5.
