Grace is a successful real-estate agent, and she is now asked to step in as interim manager of a local branch in her old hometown. She left the town when her parents sold their house and moved away, but her childhood friend still lives there. The local office turns out to be a pleasant workplace that also has a chance to win the award for Best Local Branch — if they manage to sell a few more properties before the end of the year. Working at the office is also Luke, a photographer, who takes it upon himself to help Grace not only win the competition but also embrace the Christmas spirit of the town.
At times it’s a good romantic film, but it’s dragged down by sloppy production. How can you arrive as a new office manager and not greet all the employees? Why is there always snow piled up and an unswept porch at a house she’s been staying in for several days? Why are there such long pauses in the dialogue? The film is full of these kinds of lapses.
