I loved this one. A different storyline that the typical Hallmark movie. The lead characters had good chemistry and their love story was believable. It was a fun movie to watch!

Michael Rady is definitely one of my favorite actors because he is simply an amazing actor beyond the good looks. But unfortunately he is paired with Aimee Teagarden (1st time I see her) and the result is a disaster. Miss Teagarden tries hard but everything sounds and looks so artificial and so boringly stiff. The rhythm of the movie drags for ever lost in dialogues that may have been planned as inspiring but ended up sounding dreadful due to the lack of acting skills from the main actress. Hallmark, we love you and are so grateful for so many great movies you put out there but please, don't pair experienced and amazing actors such as Mr Rady with unprofessional so called actresses. When I think about a movie such as USS Christmas I feel so embarrassed for Mr Rady for being in this mess of a movie.

This is not just a bad hallmark movie, it's a really bad one. The acting is bad and uninspiring and i wrestled to stay awake the whole time. Even my wife got sidetracked while watching. Don't do it! Save yourself the pain.

I don't normally write reviews but felt compelled after reading some of the 1-2 star reviews for an above average Hallmark movie. The most ridiculous comments are related to the actress, Aimee Teagarden. It's as though they have no idea what acting is (or a problem with women in positions of power, and how she rightly portrays this). She is deliberately restrained and quietly confident, a women who's not just going to fall madly in love at the drop of a hat. She plays the role, perfectly. And those who claim there's no chemistry are simply addicted to sugary-sweet, mouth-gaping, over-the-top, fake acting, and forced chemistry. This has a slow burn. VERY well directed. The chemistry appears real throughout. And this is not even mentioning the story. As others have rightly pointed out, a Hallmark movie that's largely out of the normal mold. For a Hallmark movie, an easy 8 stars from me. To those who don't understand acting (Aimee may well receive more notable rules after this. A proven actress from her Friday Night Light days). And Michael Rady was his usual reliable self. Great acting. Good story. Enjoy a more mature Hallmark addition. .

I would've given this a 10 but dropped it back a point just because it seemed a little awkward for me in the very beginning. When she goes to buy the cookies for her office, the counter guy scene was awkward and wierd. But once I got past that part, it really started to get good! Loved the couple, especially the main male character. I absolutely loved that when the couple met, they fell for each other and liked each other! Refreshing to see a couple get along right from the start instead of arguing for awhile! The Game Cafe was so cool and like one of the best dates ever!

I loved the concept and I totally wanted to buy into it. Plus, I love Michael Rady. I expected to like this movie a lot. Unfortunately, Aimee Teagarden's performance was unconvincing and wooden. A better actress would have made this movie good. Michael Rady's character was also too cloying and at times, desperate. There was zero chemistry. If you saved it on your PVR hoping to enjoy it later, delete it. I just saved you.

This movie is very different from the expected Hallmark formulaic patterns. It shows realistic human characters who face adult situations in mature and interesting conversations. We loved the acting (all characters were believable) and the plot made sense. Highly recommend!

Kelly is a producer at a morning show, Tom works in marketing in a National Bank. She believes in New Year's Resolutions, he doesn't. Her resolution is "to say yes to social invitations" Unbelievable. We get a different movie than the usual Hallmark gives us and people start complaining. I liked it. We have two people who meet each other, like each other, flirt, go on dates until we have a problem threatening to split them up, which, in my opinion was quite realistic. There are reviewers saying that the leads didn't have chemistry: i'm sorry, were we watching the same movie? The chemistry was amazing. Both leads were great, but Michael was probably my favorite. His character was quite charming and he definitely knows how to keep me watching. The script was quite original. We had fun activities and we had a group of friends (we usually get one or a sibling). The characters just talked to each other like the mature adults they are, they never kept anything to each other (even at the ending, and I will defend Tom, he tried his best to tell her). And the romance was ON POINT. The final scene was delightful. Not gonna lie though, I was expecting a flash-forward (since they kind of share a dream) and I was disappointed there wasn't one. So, I liked it, and this movie gets extra stars for originality.

Regular Christmas Hallmark movies are so cliche, like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. This movie is more of a quiche - some work put into it, a variety of ingredients and leaves you satisfied at the end. I love that both the female and male lead have relatively successful careers and neither one of them has to give it up in order to be with the other. They also don't have to go to some quaint small town to find their purpose or love of their life. The seriousness of the bank fraud was a little glossed over, but then again we're watching a romance not the Panama Papers.
