I like this holiday movie. Instead of the two main characters bickering and fighting at the beginning of the movie, they are connected immediately. I found the chemistry between the two actors very real. I love the background story with the missing tree topper and the story behind it.

Something Always Happens at the Plaza
Welcome to the world of the Plaza. It provides the fascinating setting for any story. As so many people come and go so do the stories of their lives. We get a glimpse of the Christmas story of Nick and Jessica. Jessica is a historian hired by the Plaza. Jessica's assignment of creating the Plaza's Christmas display featuring past tree toppers brings the past and present together to for a lovely Christmas movie. It is not complex, just enjoyable. Nick also has a part in the presentation. So they are thrown together indirectly on the project.
Bruce Davison brings a positive dimension to the story. Julia Duffy can deliver a comic moment like no other with a look or a pause. It was wonderful to see them in the movie.
Check into the Plaza for awhile and enjoy a nice Hallmark Christmas movie.
Oh, pleasant quarantine fodder...
Well, if you're stuck in the house doing a Hallmark binge, this fills the void. It's easy to blow this particular one off as too anemic, but c'mon - no one sets out to make a bad movie, just go with the flow & appreciate how we can sit around and watch this stuff. The Plaza is an icon, and I'm always fascinated how UK actors like Ms Henstridge here nails her American accent. Mr Davison is still around? Cool. Mr Paevy & Mr Oliver the director are apparently Hallmark stock staff, and you kind of sense they mailed in their jobs before getting the script. Jeez, they probably didn't need a script. Well, okay then. Not the best film you'll ever see, but certainly not the worst either.
