I wasn't too sure about this movie in the beginning, the plot was bumpy and I wasn't sure where it was going. The story line of both characters searching for each other over most of the movie, was very tiresome. And it's odd that two people didn't discuss what they did for a living when they had breakfast in the beginning, they're young and obviously they work. The dialog was better than average, I didn't cringe when listening to it. This movie didn't have a dominate female lead with a male in a secondary role, this was a story about Kim and Theo. It wasn't another formulaic story about developing an app or something in sales, Kim and Theo were both settled in their careers. Shae Robins and Casey Elliott had chemistry onscreen, the supporting cast wasn't as good.

My wife and i really enjoyed this. This movie has none of the political platform traps that we are starting to see, which seems to go along with the GAF label, current trends free. The synopsis for the movie is misleading, making me believe whoever wrote the thing did not in fact watch the movie. While it is true they are looking for one another after meeting, what is not said is that they each have vague clues to go by, which gives it an extra layer. But, the real kicker is that unbeknownst to each, they are connected at so many different levels through interpersonal relationships. This adds many more multiple layers to the story. They took some time planning out this one --Thnx.

This movie starts out a little different than most in this genre, but part of that comes from the premise which is similar in some ways to the kiss in an elevator premise - two strangers meet but get separated. There is not a kiss right off, but otherwise the two leads who hit it off lose track of each other due to a power outage in the store where they are shopping. What is a little unusual here is how much time the lead couple spends with each other and they do some bonding but only at the beginning. Most of the story is about near misses on the two reconnecting. This is keeps going right up to the last minute. Something feels just a bit off with the acting and the lines. Maybe a little flat. But there are also a few funny ones. Usually, the thing that draws me to this kind of movie where romance is more important than any other theme is time spent developing the romance. Again the premise is responsible for taking a lot of that out of the equation. It is interesting however that Kim does interact with Ashley, without realizing she is Theo's daughter.

The first GAC Family Christmas movie I've watched in 2022 was pretty good. A fresh story: two people meet whilst shopping on Black Friday, feel a spark...and then are separated and spend the next month or so trying to find one another with very little in the way of detail about one another - all they each have is a first name. Of course, there are the usual plot devices that you get in these movies, like a few near misses between the two main characters and the introduction of and old/new love interest. Nonetheless, still a pretty good watch. I haven't seen Shae Robbins or Casey Elliott in a film before, but they were pretty good in this one. All in all, just enough original material to keep you (well, me) interested.

This was a wonderful start to Great American Family Christmas. Two people looking for presents on Black Friday find more than they "bargained" for. This movie is a magical and suspenseful Christmas ride that has you holding hope until the very end that love would find a way. You will enjoy the acting, storyline, twists and turns, and most of all the happy ending. The two leads, although not in much of the movie together, have you rooting for them from the start. The daughter does a great job as a kid actor as well, and may be from the credits the actual daughter of the main actor in the movie. Have fun with this movie!

This movie has no big pretenses. It is a simple story. Kim and Theo, a single father, casually meet on Black Friday and develop a strong attraction. Unfortunately, they lose track of each other. In the following weeks, they search and keep missing each other, while carrying on with their lives. The conclusion is quite predictable. There is no serious drama, as both lead characters are wholesome people and all of the others, family and friends, seem equally nice. Some details are quivery, if not illogical. For one, why Theo's divorced wife appears nonexistent in their daughter's life? Yet, the movie moves well and manages to be entertaining, while remaining uplifting. Shae Robins and Casey Elliot work great together, projecting warm and sincere, reciprocal feelings. The daughter, Ashley, is captivating. By the way, is she Casey Elliott's real daughter? The movie highlights plenty of Christmas, and everyday, values, such as kindness, generosity and love. If the goal was to provide a family friendly Christmas tale with simple, honest, uplifting emotions, the mission is accomplished. Based on it's values, GAC is my Christmas destination.

This movie was a welcome change from the usual holiday Christmas plot. Two strangers meet on Black Friday and really start to bond, when they lose each other in a blackout. They both felt a very strong connection and want to see each other again. They spend the rest of the movie trying to find each other. The only complaint I can say is that the main characters are not together for much of the movie, but, we really didn't mind because their first meeting was so good and we felt their connection even as they were looking for each other. Thank you G A C Family for your new Christmas movies that are full of fun and so Family Friendly!

I finally watched it today wanting to add GAC movies to my watch list. The actors were likable and genuine. There was instant chemistry between the main 2 characters, which doesn't always happen. The story started out as a meet cute. They meet in line for a Black Friday sale and share some hot chocolate and continue talking. Both hit it off immediately, ending up going to several stores together and have a romantic breakfast break. At the last store there is a blackout and they end up losing each other. Now they spend the rest of the movie trying to find one another taking clues from their conversation. In true fassion they do find each other in the end. While the movie starts out strong, the long shipping trip and the search felt a bit too long. And why do people always assume that if their person of desire is in the company with another person, they are dating? Even a hug or a touch on the arm is so normal between friends, so why run away instead of saying hello? Overall I felt bored by the movie. It's a nice and clean family movie, but most of the storyline felt flat for me. Besides at the very beginning and the very end, the romance part just wasn't there. And besides the Christmas decorations there is nothing making it a Christmas movie.
