I have a slight weakness for cheesy Hallmarkesque Christmas movies. (I blame my daughter for getting me involved.) Miracle Creek could have been a screen play for a Hallmark movie. It had all the ingredients including a cute young girl, niece of male character, and older friend of female character that also has a small romance on the side with male character's father. There is the irritating, slightly dysfunctional family of female and supportive strong family of male character. Despite all the traditional tropes, the one thing that was very unHallmarkish was the up front honesty of both people. There was no misunderstanding of random conversations or misunderstood hugs. Both Riley and Mark are surprisingly forth right about their past and their expectations for the future. There was, however, a lot of CHRISTMAS throughout, trees, carols, traditions, snow angels, snow, food, etc. Overall it was a really nice enjoyable adventure.
Fiction, romance, Christmas, fire fighters
