Two fairly competent actors couldn't even bring this movie out of mediocrity. The premise was cute-ish and could have been a fanciful Christmas movie 'drift from reality'. It fell terribly short. No fault of the actors at all. I enjoy watching many Christmas movies over again each year, but bad writing and equally bad directing made this movie a one and done. I never care to watch it again.
