One of the weaker Christmas movies. I like Jill Wagner but her performance in this wasn't very good. She has done much better before. It was just a bit overdone at most times.
There was a lack of chemistry and the love interest was one of the quickest ever to give up at the slightest hint of things not working out.
I will give them credit for not doing the standard "will she pick the city guy or the country guy" story line. But them fixing up the store to try to sell it made no sense, nobody stages store spaces when they want to sell them. It was also very predictable even for a Christmas movie.
The kid with the key made Wagner's acting look Oscar level. And it was obvious what the key would be for for a long time and I'm not sure how other characters missed the spot where it would go.
