The film ends with Hanna attempting to dig her car out of the snow and her husband returning from war. If you don’t want the ending spoiled, stop reading now and know that I recommend watching it. Both of these revolve around the conclusion of the film.
I have only two complaints about this movie, which prompted the lower score than I would normally want to give a Hallmark Channel film. She learns a little bit about what happened after she disappeared into the future and they begin to look for a way to send her home.

The movie opens with a scene featuring Tom Skerritt, which immediately prompted me to yell out, “It’s the Sheriff from Picket Fences!” While he appears briefly during the film, not a lot is explained until near the end, where his identity is revealed and he manages to corroborate much of Hanna’s story. Just as she did in the 1940’s, Hanna is still doing those little things to help everyone else.
Hanna also helps Jake (played by Oliver Hudson, who was amazing as Adam Rhodes in Rules of Engagement) realize that his partner (and sister’s best friend), Sarah (Brooke Nevin, who I loved as Julianne Simms in the short lived Breakout Kings) is in love with him. Along the way, there is plenty of talk of miracles and little things impacting the future. She reminds the family of some traditions of Christmas past and inspires some of the younger generation to take part in them. While they don’t necessarily believe her story, they are mostly accepting and understanding. She’s taken in by the family of one of the town’s cops. Nothing makes sense and she realizes she’s not in Kansas… rather the 1940’s anymore. When she wakes in the morning, she ventures outside to see kids skateboarding and people talking on cell phones. As the storm gets worse and thunder and lightning fill the sky, she falls and bumps her head. The winter storm is picking up, so she seeks shelter in an old shed. After returning the lost dog and driving home, Hanna loses control of her car and crashes. All the while, she feels lost and wonders if she’s doing anything, mourning her husband who was lost in the war. This includes comforting an orphaned patient, introducing an injured soldier and a nurse, returning a lost dog, and helping decorate for Christmas.
The film starts in the 1940’s, following Nurse Hanna (Candace Cameron Bure) as she goes about her day, taking pictures, and performing random acts of kindness. The film initially feels more like The Wizard of Oz than a time travel piece and I feel the ending was vague enough to leave us wondering, either way it was a cute movie with a great message. Tanner, she’s also a fan of period pieces and time travel, both of which appeared to play a role in this film.

She’s a fan of Full House, and this film stars D.J. As I’ve mentioned before, my wife does not share my affinity for Hallmark Channel movies, however, in this case, she made an exception.
