I tried to give this movie a chance. But I had to change the channel. Brooklyn is the dumbest, most irritating character I've seen in a movie who's supposed to be the protagonist. She's supposed to be a professional woman but yet she acted like an immature middle schooler. The flashback scene to their teenage year was so cringeworthy. I assume that she and Devin end up together happily in the end because it's Hallmark but I wish it'd end with Devin finding a better person.

I really wanted to love this movie. The plot sounded like it'd be a refreshing twist to the original Dickens' story. But Toni Braxton is terrible in this movie. I'm a fan of her as a singer, but honestly after this movie, I'll avoid any other movies that she acts in. Instead of a feel good Christmas movie, I was just annoyed and irritated that I wasted my time watching this.
