When his old college pal, Paul, hires him to find a thoughtful gift for his girlfriend Jenny, Tom spends the weeks before Christmas getting to know her. As Tom and Jenny spend more time together planning an event for Jenny’s non-profit, a romantic spark develops between them, and Jenny begins to doubt her relationship with Paul. When Jenny discovers that Paul hired Tom to research her and find her a gift, she feels betrayed by both men. As Christmas approaches, Tom will need to pull out all the stops to make Jenny’s holiday wishes come true—and to make his wish of having Jenny in his life come true as well.

I can't wait to see this one after the preview last night. Come on November 4th :)
ReplyDeleteThis one looks Perfecty sweet! Can't wait to see Sam Page and Tara Holt together in this! I was just thinking, the girl in the first movie was new to Hallmark and now Tara is new, too. It's surprising that the first three new movies have two leading ladies who have never ever even been on Hallmark!
ReplyDeleteVery true, Allie! With over 30 movies, I guess they had to find some new actresses to fill all these roles!!!
DeleteI'm glad to see them + returning favorites!!! :)
I may be mistaken, but I believe the leading lady in "Marry Me at Christmas" is the ex-girlfriend in the 2014 Hallmark Hall of Fame, "In My Dreams" (a personal favorite!) So not completely new to Hallmark! :) Though I do like seeing her in a "positive role" instead of the crazy ex-girlfriend!
DeleteSOOO disappointed in this movie, and since it's one of the first it again sparks my fears that Hallmark is going for quantity instead of quality, a concern from last years movies.
ReplyDeleteThis movie was cast poorly, (bless her heart), the camera work was shaky, the wardrobe was horrific ( Sam Page in bizzare sweater jackets??).
Basically just a mess.
Loved Sam Page in Valentines movie.
I can never find a list online of the songs for hallmark movies and they always have the credits so sqwatty that I can't read them. I want to know who is singing the Robert Stone and Chicago Fire song at the end, baby wont you please come home for Christmas
ReplyDeleteI believe it's the real Bob Stone. An actual blues-singing Chicagoan who is (fortunately for fans of this brilliantly cast, terrifically dressed, and perfectly cinematographed movie) still and well in 2018.
DeleteLoved this movie!
