For the lovely location and scenery alone, this movie is worth watching. A good amount of it was filmed in France, which really adds an authentic feel to it. I'm a big fan of Jaicy Elliott ("A Southern Family Christmas") and Brant Daugherty ("#Xmas") and they didn't disappoint.
Their characters, Lea and Mark, are reporters working for the same paper who are sent to France to dig deeper into the origins of a painting of which the artist is unknown. The Christmas marketplace serves as a third character of sorts, for it is there that the main story takes shape.
The thing I didn't quite buy was Elliott's character was a bit too naive and Daugherty's character was a bit too jaded. I really enjoy them as actors, but I would've preferred the focus be less on a jaded reporter vs. A newbie and more on just two coworkers on equal footing who see and approach things differently. But that didn't ruin it for me much at all. The young actress who I believe plays the daughter of the innkeeper was a delight and I can't say enough about the beautiful location. In my opinion, this movie is worth recording.
