7.4 stars.
Slow starter, but cute all throughout. Gorgeous blond (Burns) flight attendant meets little girl unaccompanied minor (UM). Dad (Scott) is waiting for her in Chicago. Dad is of course a good looking man... circumstances dictate gorgeous blonde and dad must meet, so she accompanies them to their home for Christmas. Love begins.
This is a slowly built up romance, but the flirtation and the momentum continue at a perfectly steady pace. I was impressed by the timing. She twinkles, he smirks, light flirtation... harmless at first... everyone is trying to hint at them to continue with the courtship, speed it up, but we in the audience are saying "don't rush them, let this beautiful flower blossom on its own".
And as each special moment comes and goes, the attraction grows, and it's ever so gradual, like the melting snow in spring.
I remember Brooke Burns on Baywatch, and I've seen Tom Everett Scott in stuff. I don't particularly love either one of them as actors, however they have wonderful chemistry. She makes him a better man, and he grounds her (pun intended) with his family values and great parenting (wife is deceased). It results in a symbiotic relationship which makes her more family oriented and pulls him out of his safe place. We only need one more ingredient... a perfectly delightful little girl.
Slow starter, great in the middle, unrealistic and bland conclusion. Flimsy ending guys, come on now.
