Check Inn to Christmas

Plot

Julia comes home to spend the holidays with her family running their inn only to get caught up in a longstanding feud with a rival business. To complicate matters, the competition is an irresistible guy called Ryan.

My Thoughts

This was a nice Hallmark Christmas film. I actually like the fact that although the two families had a century long feud it was all civil, it was more like healthy competition and giving each other a wide berth rather than full out war. The two leads had a pleasant chemistry and the town was very pretty, although the Crawley Lodge before the power cut was somewhat over the top and crazy. In a lot of ways although the Hallmark films are contemporary they sort of seam like period drama, at Christmas time I would prefer a dose of cheesy treacle to gritty realism.
