This film begins with a young woman named "Margot Bradford" (Katie Leclerc) arriving in Cape Cod to celebrate Christmas with her siblings one last time in their old home before having to put it on the market. Although she doesn't want to sell it, since she cannot afford to maintain it on her own and--because her brother and sister are more interested in the money it will bring--she doesn't feel like she has much choice in the matter. Not only that, but her stress is further compounded by the fact that, as an author of children's books, she has an upcoming deadline that is fast approaching, and her agent has become quite insistent about it as well. However, it's only after meeting her childhood boyfriend, "Christian Williams" (Brent Bailey) that the feelings of nostalgia really hit home. And her longing to remain increases. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that, while I don't consider this to be a bad movie by any means, I thought it suffered from a rather bland plot and--considering the fact that it's billed as a comedy--a lack of any real humor. Likewise, although I liked the acting of Katie Leclerc, I can't really say the same for anyone else and I have rated this film accordingly. Slightly below average.
