5/10
Sweet but hear me out for a second...

Warning: Spoilers
Sydney is a flight attendant in charge of an unaccompanied minor, Leah, in a flight from Seattle to Chicago. Once she is returned safely to her father, they offer to buy her a hot cocoa. Jonathan and Sydney begin talking and he asks her if he can write a Christmas column about her parent's love story.

The premise is a good one. I've heard good things about this. I personally think the story about her parents came out of nowhere and I was confused? It was so random.

Let's get technical now. I work in aviation and I had so many "ahh" moments. The aircraft shown from the outside was a A380, which is used for long flights up to 18 hours. Using it for a four hour flight makes no sense. Now, the inside of the aircraft was clearly a 320 or 737. (3 seats of either side). Sydney changing her flight to stay with the minor? That's a no. She should deliver her to ground staff and get onto her next flight. The same with getting the information of the passenger, I'm not sure that's allowed? It was a nice gesture, but weird, nevertheless.

Getting back to Hallmark now: the chemistry between the leads was good, the same with the child and the secondary cast. The relationship between Sydney and Leah was the sweetest. We have a few adorable moments that are a "no-miss" for these types of movies.

And now the ending. You cannot understand HOW MAD I was. This woman was waiting 10 years for a promotion like no other, and she gives it up for a man she has known for a whole week? I'm mad. It would have been nearly perfect if she just went to Rome and we got a time jump at the end, like a year later or so.

Without these complains, it was a sweet movie, I do not regret watching it, but I made me mad in more than one occasion.
