Noël au manoir enchanté

I expected a take on Kate and Leopold. It is that only in the main premise and maybe some other minor ways. It really is an unusual Christmas premise.

Ryan Paevey and Erin Cahill have a very comfortable chemistry. They have plenty of screen time together and watching them interact is enjoyable.

I really didn't know what to expect. There are some things that it is obvious are going to be important to the story. How or to what ultimate end was never certain in my mind. In fact the climax went differently than my guess. The last shot is interesting.

Funny total aside: my sister and I joke about enumerating all the little devices that appear in many of these movies. One of them is that in almost every romance movie, the leading lady comes down a set of stairs dressed beautifully and the leading male looks on in awe. Watch for the switcheroo on this.
