It's Christmas, Eve (2018)

As interim school superintendent Eve trims budgets, and now she’s in her hometown where it’s personal. Her handsome neighbor Liam is a music teacher and Eve feels his program must be cut. But luckily her friend is married to an IT guy, who’s created a website for donations directly to save the Arts program. Launched during the tree lighting ceremony, where Liam’s students will perform, the website could provide the Christmas miracle the town needs. Already the Universe is cooperating.

My reaction is simple:  Although some reviewers found it so predictable, and yes, I somehow agree with them, I still love the movie through and through.

At first I didn't see any chemistry with Miss Rimes and Mr. Hynes, but little by little, the idea of them being EVE and LIAM just became real to me(so I used capital letters on their characters names).

I like the flow of the story.  I must admit, I did shed a tear or two, but mostly, I had fun watching this film.  

Thanks for your time.
