Christmas Getaway

I love Bridget Regan in this movie! She has real chemistry with Travis Van Winkle! And Raven Stewart is a precocious child actor or she was in 2017. A lovely movie for all to watch.

WONDERFUL Christmas movie!!! I love Christmas movies, and I am thrilled to have this one in my collection. The actors are GREAT and have believable chemistry. It is a sweet and heartfelt storyline. I love it!!!

This was a Christmas gift. My sister loved it!

[SPOILER ALERT (in the event that is possible with a Hallmark movie)] This is a Christmas Hallmark movie and needs to follow a formula. Within that constraint, to me this stands out in the oeuvre. Some things that struck me in the movie. - The acting is very good. There are numerous situations in which the actors provide nuance to scenes, that make it seem natural. The whole situation and tension between Emory and Alice is played out extremely well, with Alice immediately sizing up Emory as a threat. Meanwhile Emory is keeping a fiction in her mind that there is nothing going between her and Scott, while she is obviously being dragged in. Examples of the subtle nuances. In the scene at the Christmas tree farm, at 28:55, where Alice first glimpses Emory with Katie, there's an interesting look on Alice's face when Alice sees Katy with a woman whom she doesn't recognize. She immediately turns to see where Scott is. The ensuing awkwardness is stock, but at 30:17, as the parties head out, Emory pauses and takes a second glance back at Alice. Without anything being said, that second glance nicely conveys that unconsciously Emory sees Alice as not just a person of no concern to her. That's one example among many where the actors add little enhancements to scenes that make the more believable or evocative. The gingerbread house contest is also quite good, in which Sarah Smyth (playing Alice) has to balance feelings among being pleased that Katy and Scott's house won, disappointment that the house that she and her son Johnny built did not win, and envy at seeing Emory in the position with Scott and his family that she wishes she was occupying. - This is a chicks flick, and the relationships among the women are front and center, and I think are well scripted and acted. I referenced Alice and Emory above, but the relationship between Emory and Marilyn (Scott's Mother) is also well developed and, from my perspective very believable. You can see the relationship building between them in a very natural way. I could go on with other elements. The role played by Katy is nice. Emory's reluctance to admit she is falling for Scott, followed by her easy self-deprecating readiness to believe what is obviously not true, resonated with my personal experiences. There are numerous other examples I could cite. But those are all just more examples of how this flick rises above the typical Hallmark Christmas movie format.

I’ve watched it 5 times! I decided to put it in my library!

Great service as well as wonderful movie

Item arrived on time and well packaged.

Cute story. Good cast. Good chemistry. Typical Hallmark movie. The leads both decide to take a break from their normal lives during the Christmas holiday (she just broke up with a guy and he's a widower with a child trying to get away from people fixing him up). A mishap with a computer accidentally books them for the same cabin at the same time. At first they don't like each other, but through their shared adventures and the magic of Christmas, they fall in love. The female lead and the guy's daughter bond over shared interests. The guy's mom also seems to find romance herself with a local gentleman. Love the cabin they rent. Good, relaxing, romantic Christmas movie. The part about the almond in the pudding seemed at bit out of place or it needed to be better explained.

Love the movie

It was in English which was good as we could not find it anywhere on TV only in French.

I've seen the movie before and it was a feel good movie so wanted for my Christmas collection. Yes, girl meets guy, but that's what we're looking for. Happy endings. However, postal service between Canada and the Us leaves much to be desired. Not the vendor's fault. Maybe the Christmas rush and Covid have complicated things. I've dealt with vendor before and always gotten good service.

The actors made the story real and since I got the video I have watched it 3 times Our family usually do not like to watch a movie more than once but they liked this one and wanted to watch it again.

I remember the first time I watched this movie and I just loved it. so I wanted my own copy of it. Now I can watch it anytime I want. Love it.
