Christmas movie review: Lost Holiday - The Jim and Suzanne Shemwell Story

Rating: A-

Ironically, this is another 2007 made-for-Lifetime holiday movie about a couple who is separated finding their way back to each other. Compared to An Accidental Christmas, though, Lost Holiday is much much better. This couple goes off snowmobiling and then get lost in the woods so they actually face life-and-death situations before they decide to get back together. Also, although you know that they obviously survive or the movie wouldn't be much of a holiday miracle movie, it keeps you in suspense and makes you wonder how they really were able to survive. It's also heartwarming to watch their family members react to the tragedy. Did I mention it's based on a true story?
