I enjoyed this film and although I'm not crazy about Alison Sweeney, I really like Lucas Bryant. The fim had a decent love story with a mystery that keeps you involved for most of the film. However, its filled with Hallmark cliches: female lead is a baker; there's a snowball fight; the best friend is African-American; and the winter is phony - nobody ever looks cold, no matter how skimpily dressed. These cliches lower the enjoyment for me as they are like cartoon "POWS" when thy appear and take me away from the story. At least the writers forgot the " angels in the snow" cliche (whew...).
Anyway, I know Hallmark turns these films out in multiples that mean originality is hard to find, but I just wish they would take more care of their product and stop the annoying unoriginal ideas! If this were a little better written, it would have gotten an 8 or 9 from me. A 7 is my way of saying it was ok, but probably not worth watching more than once.
