Season's Greetings (2016)

From imdb

Laura Bell Bundy and Casey Manderson

Director: Allan Harmon

Writers: Kathryn Dow and John Forgetta

This year, Darcy Blake has 3 things on her Christmas list; keep writing loveably hilarious cards, don’t take in any more cats and fall in love with the perfect guy. The 3 things NOT on Darcy’s list are: a corporate shake up, several new cats and an inconvenient crush on her handsome new boss. But Darcy is about to find out that things that aren’t on your Christmas list, are the very things you need the most.-UPTv

This movie, for me, is a very interesting subject.  Since this is shown in UPTv, it is guaranteed that there's no note of sleaziness whatsoever in this movie.  The lead actor, CASEY MANDERSON who plays Will, is no stranger to the movie industry.  He has been an actor since 2006, and a producer since 2009.  Even so, he is a very private person, leaving room for mystery.  Nobody even knows exactly what his age is, et cetera.  

As for LAURA BELL BUNDY who plays Darcy, she has been acting since she was twelve, or much earlier than that. She is also a Producer, Director, and a singer.  Besides acting in TV and film, she has also acted on stage and one of her projects is LEGALLY BLONDE: THE MUSICAL, and she is the musical's Elle Woods as popularised by Reese Witherspoon.

Although stories like this one have been told gazillions of times already, I like the approach of this one.

Darcy, although overly perky, is no pushover.  There's still the part where she doubted if one of her sweet moments with Will, but she is a breath of fresh air and a sight for sore eyes.  As Edward Harrington(GARY HETHERINGTON) put it, "Darcy IS the company!"

Will, though he sounds like a lot of Hallmark TV movies' lead actors, is a conflicted person, but he has a good heart.  He isn't ecstatic about Christmas because his folks died during that day or season leaving him and his baby sister orphans during the most wonderful time of the year.  He and Darcy got along fine after jumping some hurdles, but his biggest mistake is trusting a Nuclear Physicist named Taylor Armstrong(CARRIE GENZEL) to make decisions for him, but generally, he is sweet. I'm glad that even if it took months before he finally admitted his feelings for Darcy, he didn't bottle up those emotions.  If he did that, Darcy would be confused more than ever because of his actions. The conflict between him and Darcy is not because he couldn't love her, but because of a certain situation, he couldn't love him.

The question is, would they ever find their way back to each other's arms?

Oh, by the way, I like the actors who played teammates and friends of Darcy, including Will's sister and a dog:

VIV LEACOCK as Bryan

KALYN MILES as Joy

MATTY FINOCHIO as Charlie

LINDA DARLOW as Lillian

GARETH SMART as The Security Guard/Friend

JORDYN ASHLEY OLSON as Anna Harrington 

GIDGET as Valentino/Santa Paws

and a bunch of others
