The Christmas Promise (2021 TV Movie)
8/10
I was sincerely touched

This one is high on the cry-o-meter. This was totally heartfelt, sad and a little depressing for those of us who have lost a loved one recently (which is the case for me this year). Interestingly this is the first movie of Hallmark so far in the 60 or so that I've seen the past 3 weeks that has someone actually dying in the movie. An actual living breathing person who is an active member of this movie dies in the first 10-15 minutes.

I enjoyed the whole movie start to finish. The lead male was quirky and kind, and had just the right amount of chivalry, and macho mixed in. The lead female is one of my favorites (top 5) and she was taken by his weird humor, but it was just what she needed to help her move past the grief of losing her fiancé in a car accident the year prior (they one who died at the start).

I give this a good rating because I liked all the actors, they were fun, and cool, and the sort of friends I would love to hang out with all year. When she tells him she wants to always be friends was a very moving moment for me. I felt like that's the way life should be, through adversity and loss we should always keep our friends close.

Great ending too, with a touch of the humor element still tagging along. I'd love to see more of these actors in Hallmark movies. As I continue my binge (I still have 70+ to go) I expect to see them both a few times each.
