Why?
My mom had found this movie in the line-up of yearly Hallmark releases and we just had to give it a watch.
What in the world?
A private pilot is stranded with a rich family on Christmas Island in Nova Scotia. She starts to make friends with an air traffic controller who teaches her about Christmas.
Personal thoughts
I did not like the main lady for this movie. She was just rude the entire time and made everything about her. She did not deserve to get with the air traffic controller because he deserves better. I mean it is a small town though so of course he was enamored with a new single lady in town who needs to learn the joys of Christmas for some rich kids who haven't celebrated Christmas in forever. The family story was easier and better to follow than the actual movie.
Score
I have to give this movie a 4 out of 10. It's just the main character was insufferable. This movie probably could have been great if the lady had a better personality. The family plot was rich people problems sure but it hit harder than rude pilot lady and air traffic controller. Another thing that desperately helped this movie was the lobster trap tree memorial lighting. It is sad when someone you love gets lost at sea and that scene was nice. The tree was really cool and the whole thing is real. That was something I found really interesting.
