Not one for sentimentality, ahh who am I kidding! Just want to gush oodles of praise for A Boyfriend For Christmas! It's a little old now but it'll never age! Such a feelgood, romantic movie and has everything. Great cast in the two leads, Kelli Williams and Patrick Muldoon - always perfect in anything he's in!
Such brilliance from the outset when Holly makes her Christmas wish you know you're in for a treat and plenty of heartbreak too. Okay so he's a lawyer and we know the bad press they have, but he's much more than that. Ryan goes out of his way to reunite the family for Christmas and on top of that he even starts to volunteer and help out Santa!
Wouldn't we all love him under our tree and all wrapped up for Christmas. Bows 'n' all. There's just something about Patrick and his on screen presence which adds so much more to this movie. Even if he does tell fibs like being called Doug Firtree, you know he's not into lying, it's just not in him! There's comedy and smarmy Ted gets what he deserves too!
Best scene or one of them for me, when Ryan drives away from her family house and heads to the hills, his fave place. The emotions are so rife and real, you can't help but cry along! Also must be a first for us with Patty crying! Oh man tears!! Bring 'em on.
I also liked the way he stood up for what he believed was right and how sweet to sit in a meeting and doodle your true love's name!!
If you're not big on holiday cheer or Christmas movies, if you only ever watch one, make it this one, you won't regret it! Trust me I'm a lawyer! Ha. Or as I wrote, Patty's not just for Christmas but for life! That includes his movies!

Not enough words to do this movie justice you just have to lose yourself in the moments! Still waiting for one to come along which had such everlasting appeal for me. It's something we can all relate to, finding that special someone, losing them and to top it off, having to find them again!! Such a long and arduous search, if only real love was as easy as love in the movies.
Okay before I get too mushy just go watch and enjoy!!!
Oh just a thought next time I watch will have to play Patrick's songs over the soundtrack! Hmm wonder how that would sound!!
