Classic Christmas movie, but it could have been better. I don't think it's the acting that was bad in the film, it's the editing that wasn't done well; they probably needed to keep it to 90ish minutes and ended up cutting too much out.
A lot of parts they mention something and then quickly move onto a different topic, such as 'first Christmas without nan is hard' and the gramps is like oh yes, but let's talk about the advent calendar. Next few scenes he says Christmas is always a hard time without his wife...so it's not the first Christmas without her?
I felt like this film could have had great potential but they added in the random storyline with Ty, which brought barely anything to the film. Is he a bad guy? Apparently not according to Abby at the end, even though those guys tell her he brings a lot of girls to the soup kitchen (and not one of those girls was his daughter).
Also - the mayor, who had never seen Abby's photos wants her to send them over to decorate her office?
Yes it's predictable, yes it's a bit of a lame storyline, but it is one of those Christmas movies you can throw on in the background to get you in the holiday spirit.
