I am very confused by this movie’s title. Is People Presents a series of movies? Is it just produced by People Magazine? What does it mean and why is it there?

Amelia (Vanessa Lachey) wants to open a year-round Christmas store. Vic (Ryan McPartlin) wants to open a chocolate bakery. The two have bid on the same storefront in town. It’s up to Elder Dubois (Patrick Duffy) to decide who gets to buy the building.

Both Lachey and McPartlin are charismatic actors. Unlike most leading actors in Christmas movies, these two have the ability to bring something extra to their characters that makes them feel like real people. Granted, they don’t always pick the best scripts but they are usually the best part of the movie, even when they have to say stupid things.

Surprisingly, the script for Once Upon A Main Street wasn’t terrible. There were a few slow parts but a lot of it felt a bit like a buddy comedy instead of a romantic Christmas movie. I almost didn’t want them to get together as a couple. But, despite Billy’s (Scott Takeda) best attempts, Amelia and Vic were bound to get True Love’s Kiss eventually.

Down to the question everyone wants to know - is Main Street worth watching? Sure. The rewatchablity factor on it is low but it is kinda cute. Now if only they would give us the recipe for Nana’s New York Cheesecake…
