I am so used to Casey Manderson being the annoying brother or the horrible boyfriend that I was VERY surprised by this movie. He is amazing here, emotionally well-rounded and certainly the star of this movie. He needs to be in more roles like this one where he is the lead that shows all sides of the character. Kudos to him.½

This is a movie about redemption and hope and kindness. Something in short supply. I really like the message and enjoy watching this.½

I bought this because I love Brendon Zub but was not a fan of the accent. Also figured out the secret admirer quite early but it was fun seeing everyone else trying to figure it out. Interesting plot.

Finally a different twist. Three adopted brothers and family drama. Great story and Jessy Schram is always fun.½

Wagner's character ran a contest for a home makeover and Webster's daughter signed up, and of course won. In the process of working on their home Webster and Wagner become close. A bit of a plot twist. Enjoyable.

Two entwining stories make this movie interesting. I like that Peyton and Ben have a history that is exploited in this movie and the little girl is fantastic.½

If you are ever depressed during the Christmas season all you need is Ashley Williams to be your friend. Her infectious laugh will brighten you. Niall is initially a foil for her character but quickly joins her attempts to give back, which heals his soul. I always cheer for movies without the boyfriend triangle and this is one of those. It works.
