While this may not be the very best in the "Time For..." series, I still found it enjoyable and thought the storyline was interesting enough. Shenae Grimes portrays Carly, a young woman who takes on a short stint as a church's choir director and is tasked with getting the choir into top performance shape in time for Christmas service. Unbeknownst to her, she has ties to the pastor of the church and his wife, which they are already aware of. The actors who portray said pastor and wife did a very good job of conveying hesitancy, care and compassion all at the same time. Grimes and Chris Carmack (Matthew) have decent chemistry together, though not off the charts, but honestly, that didn't matter much to me since their relationship isn't the heart of the story.
What I enjoyed most about this movie was the musical aspect. Shenae Grimes has a very good singing voice, as does Chris Carmack, though his singing isn't featured much here. It was really nice seeing American Idol finalist Grace Leer in the role of Matthew's sister, Riley, who's new to the choir. She has a lovely voice that's featured in the end. Overall, a good effort by all and I'd recommend it.
