Quotes
Liam: Uh oh, now they've gone and done it.
Eve: What?
Liam: Look at them, they bumped into each other, spilled coffee. Classic meet cute.
Eve: It looks more messy than cute.
Liam: No, no, look at their body language. They're intrigued. And they'll try to fight it but it's pointless. Fate has intervened. That could've been you, you know?
Eve: Yeah, well I'm super glad it wasn't.
Liam: What if that suit guy was your one true love?
Eve: If suit guy was my one true love then the universe would've made sure we spilled coffee on each other.
Liam: That is a very good point.
Eve: What makes you such a meet cute expert?
Liam: A movie buff, son of a movie buff dad, and my movie buff 11 year daughter happens to love a love story. Whereas it turns out people often spill drinks on each other.
Eve: And fall in love.
Liam: It's a thing, look it up.
Eve: I just might. But first I have to go meet my friend.
Liam: Yeah, me too.
Eve: Good luck keeping your shirt spill free.
Liam: Oh, it's not up to me. It's the universe.
Eve: Hmm-mmm.

I Did Not Want This Movie to End.

I did not want this movie to end. I only give about 1 out of 10 movies the perfect score and that is after screening them on IMDB before I watch. They did such an awesome job casting and the story had those little things that make a movie special. If you read the summary "interim superintendent arrives to close school district music program" you might think that is an old story. Yes it is. I remember A HOLIDAY ROMANCE (1999) with Naomi Judd and SOUND OF CHRISTMAS (2016) with Lindy Booth. Both were excellent but not as good as this movie.

Leann Rhimes as Eve the superintendant was a perfect cast. She is much more the singer than the actress and this made the movie exceptional. It was her voice on about 3 original songs. We have Liam the music teacher and Abby his daughter- wonderful choices here. The role of the mom is so good. Her husband was just so perfect- that shy-ness and writing that song. We also have Lara Gilchrist as the best friend and she still reminds me a bit of an Alicia Witt. The small part of the mayor was played by Ellie Harvie who I recognize from Aurora Teagarden. In the opening scene Eve and Liam meet by seeing a meant to be couple meet by a spilling coffee collision and Liam calls it fate. It was great. Christmas Beneath the Stars and 162,500 will be images in my mind. Well Done!! I'll watch it again and again.
