There's a movie from a few years ago called Holiday Switch with Nicole Eggert that's a lot better than this, but this one was watchable enough to finish. I couldn't get over the fact that she basically got replacement kids at the end. I agree with another contributor that Jackie becoming a doctor at the end, but still not remembering is a strange way to end the movie.
The cast has a bunch of recognizable faces which is the only reason I watched. I can't believe Rosie was little Lizzie from Lincoln Heights. I did like that the movie made an effort to make this a period piece. This definitely didn't need to be a Christmas/holiday movie. A huge chunk of the movie has nothing to do with the holidays and of course, the majority of us associate Christmastime and Christmas movies with colder weather and even snow. This could have been set around Valentine's Day, their wedding anniversary, or maybe even a milestone birthday for Jackie.
It's watchable for at least one viewing. Also I agree about leaving out politics. Let a Christmas movie be just that.
