Love this Movie!! A Bramble House Christmas (2017):
Starring Autumn Reeser and David Haydn-Jones. This was a great movie.
Willa receives $100,000 from a deceased patient she worked with. She is thrilled to take her son, Scout away for Christmas, after her son's heart surgery 2 years ago. Willa does not know that her benefactor's two adult children Molly and Finn have also read the will and are sure that she has swindled their father. Determined to get to the truth, Finn follows Willa to Bramble House to confront her and serve her with an injunction to prevent her from inheriting anything.
Finn becomes enamoured of Willa after loads of questions about her previous patient, Mr. Conrad. He also becomes fond of her son, Scout. Willa is offered a job as a participant in the Bramble House business. However, Molly comes to Bramble House and blabs everything to Willa before Finn is able to do so.
Naturally, Willa is completely aghast at Finn's deception and she packs up her son in the car and leaves.
While I really like this movie, a few points annoy me:
A. After all of Finn's intrusive questions, Willa doesn't suspect him at all of an underlying motive??? Seriously????
B. Willa "forgives" Finn for his behavior and they make up and kiss in the end and all is wonderful, which is, of course, the way Hallmark likes things to be. She's only known him a few days and he was very deceitful and had very bad intentions. How could she ever trust him again?
C. As per usual, the amount of lights in the town and Bramble House could set the place on fire.
I'll still give this a 9 out of 10 because it's so festive and Autumn Reeser is a great actress!!
