Sarah Davis heads to her uncle’s struggling ranch to escape New York and the spotlight from a recent breakup. Returning home for the first time since her aunt passed, complications arise when Graham, an entitled Hollywood star, arrives at the ranch to prepare for his next film. As Sarah and Graham start to bond, Sarah may get more for Christmas than she bargained for.
This film is hallmark to its own fault falling into trope after trope with predictability being the overwhelming storyline, characters are introduced (such as Delilah) for purpose of having characters and a proposed character development is hinted but then axed during the 'climax' in favour of the clumsy handling of family tragedy, it creates a 80 minute film of 1 storyline and one couple character arc. I would have liked to have the side characters (such as Delilah) to have a more prevalent role in the storyline rather than background characters serving to a dense experience. Overall, the movie was a time filler, hallmark convention that was clearly targeted at the demographic, and not cinéphiles.
