What on earth was with the fake FBI/police scenes and the Russian crime storyline? So so so insanely ridiculous and unwatchable. Please do better Hallmark. The two leads would have been so cute without the distracting and weird police scenes?

If you are a Hallmark Christmas movie fan you will recognize both Andrew Walker and Meghan Ory from previous films.

Cute but dorky premise. Unbeknownst to her a woman is on the no fly list and ends up in a car with an FBI agent who is surreptitiously trying to ascertain if she is a security threat. On the car trip they being to fall for one another. Can their budding romance survive when the truth is revealed?

Cute.

I'm trying to be generous to overcome a pet peeve. Any story about abuse of authority and gestapo tactics by government agencies sets my hackles up hard. It didn't help that the agents were so stereotypical and stupid. I think this was supposed to be a comical element. But I stuck it out to watch the love story develop between Meghan Ory's and Andrew Walker's characters.

Walker, as usual, is a sure bet and Ory gels with him nicely. At first they spar with one another. Ashley was a bit whiny and self-absorbed in the beginning but inevitably Ashley's true character comes through and her charm works it's magic.

***SPOILER*** I didn't read the book, but might now. The movie's story was obviously predictable, but most romance stories are, at least in the happily ever after. Even though I knew it was coming, Dash showing up with the hay ride clinched it.
