So its a Hallmark movie two-fer tonight. So after "A Christmas To Remember", "The Sound of Christmas" came on, starring Lindy Booth. I always thought she was mad cute, so I wasn't not going to watch this.
So Lindy Booth is a teacher, Lizzie, working at a music school in a poor neighborhood. Robin Dunne is Brad, a business type guy who boss is looking to buy real estate to convert to high end office space. So, you can see where this is going. Brad and Lizzie have a meet cute, not knowing that she's the teacher he just hired for his daughter who's just started to get back into music after her mother died years ago. Also, they don't know he just recommended to his boss to buy her building, which would put her school out of business. Not that Brad knew anything about the school at the time or that she worked there.
So at first they're flirty, then they're mad at each other when she finds out his boss is going to put her school out in the street, but then he tries his best to get his boss to reconsider, to no avail. Brad goes as far as to put in his papers to protest his boss being too much about business and not about the community. His boss respects him fighting for what he believes in, but won't budge. Actually, I had a feeling I knew what the solution was going to be about 10 minutes in.
So we randomly see Lizzie teaching an old man in the beginning. We find out he's an ex-CEO estranged from his son. If you guessed his son was Brad's boss, congratulations, you're correct! Actually, it didn't end exactly how I expected. Like I figured when it was revealed he was the father and played the song his son used to love playing when he was younger, before he gave up music and became a cold hearted business man, it would caused the son to reconsider.
I mean, the son was touched, but it sounds like the father, as "Chairman Emeritus" went behind his son's back at convened an emergency board meeting to keep the school going. Which seems a little assy, like I know he reconnected with his son emotionally, but I figured they'd keep it the son's choice to change his mind and save the school. Otherwise its kinda weird, like it didn't matter if he touched his son's heart or not, because he just fixed things and cut his son out of the equation.
