Light-hearted romantic comedy. Leaving her high powered job and moving to Montana, E.J. (Chenowith) finds herself promoting a male calendar. This predictable story had few twists but moved along smoothly. (It has even loosely included a few plot elements from Austen's "Pride & Prejudice") Along the way E.J. falls for Mr. December (no surprise) but the romantic elements were pretty low key. Performances were Ok but nothing special and the chemistry between the characters struggled a little. Although billed as a Christmas film, there were few actual references to the holidays making it a definite change of pace from the usual “Santa” or “It’s a Wonderful Life” variations. It certainly would not be at the top of my favorite Christmas films, but as a soft touch when it comes to the holidays, I still found this enjoyable. ***
