    A Sweet Country Christmas Tale

    Romance movies involving two people road tripping across the country together are hit or miss. Many of them are too cheesy to even get through and just aren't natural. Granted, I seriously doubt a 'regular' person doing one of these trips with a country star, ever really happens. Still yet, this movie flowed naturally. The leads, Heath and Karah, had good chemistry. I especially liked how well the actor playing Heath was able to show so many emotions, with just a look. When he felt awkward, I felt awkward. When he felt hurt, I felt it too. And the way Heath looked at Karah, when she wasn't looking sped up MY heart. Lol

    It's easy to connect with Karah and Heath because we get to know about their parental losses, family dynamics, friendships, and dreams in life. They seem like normal people in the real world, not actors pretending. There's not a big wow factor in this. It is just one of those feel good, makes you want to fall in love, be with family, kind of movies.

    Enjoy the 2 Days with Cara and Lee. Great Spontaneous Fun.

    Cara (Megan Park) and famous country singer Lee (Josh Henderson) accidentally meet at the airport when he spills coffee on her. She doesn't know who he is and he enjoys that she does not know. You can see that they just enjoy being with each other. But they keep parting ways and fate keeps bringing them back together (fun to watch). At one point they run into a little boy Alex and play cards with him. When Lee gives Alex something of his dad's, Cara knows he's a good guy. The movie to its success focuses on the two in a way that makes one feel joy to be part of it. Loved when the two little girls sang the song for their mom on Christmas morning. This movie is just filled with these treasured moments.

    Megan Park played the young girl in Road to Christmas (2006) when she was actually 20 and was a bright spot in My Christmas Love (2016) which was not that good. She was GREAT here. Although the scenes where she was supposed to be singing were not that effective. Josh Henderson was perfect in this role, but the singing (lipping?) just wasn't quite right. The music scenes overall were effective. We have Susan Hogan in her 4th Christmas movie of the season as the mom and it almost failed but was saved at the end. Eric Keenleyside played Cara's dad and this was just OK. The movie was about the two special days of Lee and Cara and that was magical takeaway. Watch it. I still think Megan Parks looks a lot like Amber Marshall from Heartland.

    I just liked it

    There was nothing that particularly stood out in this movie, although I was impressed with Megan Park whom I've never noticed before. I hope we get to see more of her in the future. She plays a sweet, gentle and mostly humble young woman who just stumbles into meeting a famous country singer.

    As in movies I like most, Park and Josh Henderson spend a lot of screen time together and have a quiet chemistry.

    The movie throws in a few short stanzas of Christmas songs here and there, but with one longer performance of an original song.

    The story is nothing more than two people making there way across country fighting detours to get home for Christmas where they happen to live in the same area.

    Time for Me to Come Home for Christmas

    6/10 - nothing special in this by-the-book holiday flick
    7cgvsluis

    The first in a series of holiday collaborations between Blake Shelton and his mother.

    This was the movie that started a tradition of a holiday collaboration between Blake Shelton and his mom. Actually it started with a song Blake wrote...and then his mom wrote a book inspired by it...and then they collaborated on this movie. Since they have gone on to collaborate each Christmas since on a new "Time to Come Home For Christmas" movie, but this is the first. This also is the movie that loosely follows the original book about a country singer whose father passed away and he has been avoiding going home who meets a woman in his travels who is also grieving a parent. The two keep ending up together on a wild journey home to Oklahoma.

    Candy bar pie topping? Not sure I would try it especially on a jam pie. Is that really a thing?

    The two actors picked for the leads were great. This was a simple and sweet story...that I recommend to all holiday romance fans.

      The timer goes off and she takes the freshly-baked pie from the oven. It's in a glass pie pan. She handles it with a cloth since obviously it's supposed to be hot. She hands it to him with the cloth underneath but when he takes it, he puts his thumb on the glass and leaves it there much longer than it would take to burn his thumb very badly had the pan actually been hot.
