Admittedly, I'd never seen Leann Rhimes in a movie role before. I was surprised how well she did. She's definitely one of the better musician-turned-'TV-movie'-leads. The story's cute.

They're busy. They hate Christmas. They find a way to scam their boundary-oblivious friends/fam by faking a relationship. At first it's a success & they get more work done without all that pesky match-making. You'll never guess how this one turns out. (LOL) Thankfully, these 2 actors are actual movie/TV pro's so they elevate the basic storyline (imo).

This one's cute. It's one of their typical formulas though: dreamy guy has lots of ladies chasing him...pretty-but-doesn't-know-it girl refuses to chase after him /c he seems arrogant & always gets lots of attention...guy wants girl who doesn't give him time of day + backstabbing snotty chicks + misunderstood comments etc etc

Love this one! This girl can't get a break, then - in true hallmark style - it all falls into place. The acting is pretty good (for Hallmark). The kids aren't annoying, they're actually super cute. And the story is one for all the underdog fans! Enjoy!
