Synopsis
Spoiler shield

With her California hometown in the rearview mirror, Belle heads north on business to catalog the sale of a large mansion. While the job is a dream, the client, Hunter Lowell, is not. But, as the two spend more time together, his icy demeanor begins to melt. Although their relationship is budding, Belle’s long-time suitor, Tony, arrives, sending mixed signals to Hunter while adding chaos to the holiday season.

    ★ 7/10

    The always delightful Duff plays Belle, sent by dad Howell, to assess an estate owned by brooding Gonzalez, a loner who likes to take his shirt off a lot and has a cute dog called Beast. That’s enough clues. Add in a jealous would-be boyfriend and the impending holiday season and we get a fuzzy romance that is a lot of fun. This is a typical holiday movie for those for those who believe dreams can come true. The real attraction is Duff who is always winsome and appealing, almost making this fluff seem possible.
