This is fine for all ages and there are many good points/examples throughout the movie. However I've seen it all before in the various Christmas journey sagas - there is nothing new at all. They could have injected a bit of humor/excitement into the end of the movie with everyone 'dashing' off to the hospital but the car tyre going etc and continuing in a van like the one mentioned earlier just to have some kind of visual throw back to this otherwise dialogue-heavy movie. Other visual comedy could have been achieved with travelers' Christmas sweaters / outfits, anything just to make it all less bland. However it must be fairly realistic, as I had travel fatigue watching this.

My wife and I watched this at home, during the Holiday season. It is a good time-passer but frankly is not a very good movie. The script isn't particularly well written, the dialog most often seems forced or incongruous. And the acting is mediocre at best. But the overall message is good, finding family where you can find it and making the best of things. This is in essence the same movie as "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" but with a cute female and a cute male. They are both business professionals, they start in New York and are headed home to Seattle. He talks to much and she wants to finish up some work. Weather causes an interruption in the plane part of the trip, so they go in together to rent a car, try to catch a train, but end up taking a bus. Even the ending, with the stranger as a guest at the family Christmas Eve dinner. I think its IMDb rating is a bit high, it is just pleasant diversion if you can get past many of the annoyances. It is not a Hallmark movie but pretty much follows the formula.

This was an average film, with two likeable actors taking the leads so was an enjoyable hour or so spent. There were a number of continuity errors in it and as it was as usual with these films, obviously summer, the close set looked quite poor at times. A nice film and will hopefully lead the actors to bigger budget films, which they deserve.

Didn't care for either main character. And what was with him taking off his big black Clark Kent glasses at the airport and then at her house? And what kind of cad asks for his scarf back in the middle of winter? Skip this one.

I think we can all relate to travel delays and frustrations but I wouldn't think to add romance to the mix. Most romances are based in unrealistic scenarios but this one could really happen! I am going to keep my eyes peeled the next time I'm at the car rental line.

Did not care for the opening sequences of this one and gave up on it quickly. Seemed to us that the lead characters were being unrealistically overplayed and they did not capture our interest.

Within moments of starting to watch this slightly below average TV movie, I wished the film would stop and the TV channel put on the much superior Debbie McCumbers's 'Dashing Through The Snow' (2015) - clearly that film and its 'gotta get home for Christmas but there are major impediments along the way...' plot are the source material for this mediocre project from last year. In DTTS we at least have two quirky charismatic characters played by two talented actors in Meghan Ory and Andrew W Walker - who engage in flirting and banter and some goofiness, whereas in this 2020 effort we have two characters who are poles apart in terms of personality, and the Emily character has got to be the most unlikeable lead I've seen in a long time. To call her charmless would be an understatement. Endlessly looking at that phone; endlessly worrying about work & career; endlessly worried about getting home for Christmas to spend time with her equally annoying family. They're primarily annoying because they care so much for the overly self-obsessed Emily who clearly is a textbook narcissist. The Clark Kent guy wearing the spectacles most of the time, is more appealing of the two - but since there is no chemistry between these two it's really irrelevant how he comes across. Also, that they keep bumping into each other is an over-worked plot contrivance and I lost interest in both the couple and the story half-way through. Writing up Emily as a stuck-up, over-preening obsessive and then getting her to turn on her 'charm' just as she realizes she may have a thing for the slightly geeky mug she's running around in circles is a stretch in credulity that is a stretch too far. Seriously this Emily character is far too annoying to have a movie written about her. Only turning on the charm after Cupid's arrow strikes, only shows a phoniness that's very unappealing and makes this TV movie more shallow than similar flicks out there. If you found this crud disappointing and you've already seen the film mentioned above (DTTS) I strongly recommend you look up the very superior 'Project Christmas Wish' (my review will get you there!). PCW really is the high standard all these Christmas romance flicks should be aiming for...dash over there and away from here!

I was pleasantly surprised by this one. I sometimes do not know what to expect with UPtv originals. This time, they got it right, as it was a cute, fun and entertaining Christmas movie. The plot, of course, was predictable and has been done plenty of times before. That said, the script was strong. The dialogue between the leads worked well; it pulled me in. The acting was very good. Paniz Zade (playing Emily) had a convincing performance. Adrian Spencer (playing Simon) was also very good. They had good chemistry too, each with their distinct and different personalities, which was another appealing element of the movie. Their interaction and dialogue were engaging, and I even had a few small laughs with Diana Cofini's performance as Grace. There was some fun dialogue with her sister. The scenery and sets were not as polished as, e.g. Hallmark films, but it did not take anything away from the story and performances. Overall, this is a nice little edition to UPtv's original Christmas movie lineup/collection. Well worth a watch.

A cliché ridden formulaic Christmas movie where the main character have to get home to family despite every obstacle thrown in their path. The romance that develops along the way between the two leads seems highly unlikely as they are two very different personalities. Although the guy is the more likeable of the two I never felt invested in the characters. Watch if you've got nothing better to do on a damp cold December afternoon.
