It is very difficult to write I like it about this Christmas film. The first obstacle is the dusty story , the high predactibility and the not very happy option for the end.
It is unfair to write I hate it . Because Howard Hesseman and , for a small fist of reasons, Chevy Chase.
But it represents a nice try, helped, with good result, by Vermont locations.
And by the remind of roots and fruits of idealism of youth, about obstacles and bad understanding and about seductive wisedom of elders.
The romance ? Yes, it works decent. Not the chemistry but the science of Abigail Hawk to roll in nice sense the story.
