I really enjoyed the first part of this movie. I suspended my disbelief and sunk into story. The chemistry between Ray and Reilly was okay and the outdoor scenes of the town were nice.
The story started going downhill when Louis as Scrooge attempts to buy the boat. Then Reilly's sister totally ruins a perfect one minute reconciliation between Ray and Reilly. The drama just never felt anything beyond something to move the plot along.
Once the Christmas miracles started I gave up fully on this movie. There also seem to be some continuity issues in the last 15 minutes of movie.
For a movie about people seeking authenticity this movie was surely missing it.
