Alana Higman, a die-hard Kansas City Chiefs fan and her family are competing to win the team's Fan of the Year contest, in a process judged by the director of fan engagement Derrick.. The film was shot on location on the historic Independence Square in Independence, Missouri, which actually looks like that year round. The locations that served as the Higman family’s store and Norma and Nick’s BBQ restaurant are family owned shops in real life too.
The Square also does a Christmas lighting like the one in the film.. Alana Higman (Hunter King) is a die-hard Kansas City Chiefs fan. Her parents met as kids with their families sitting next to each other at the games.
They are up for the Fan of the Year contest. Director of fan engagement Derrick (Tyler Hynes) is doing the assessment. The most compelling relationship in this movie is the one between Hallmark and the Kansas City Chiefs.
I expected more actual Kansas City Chiefs. I was expecting a few high profile players to run into our couple. The players should want that too.
As for the couple, I have always liked Hunter King’s comedic timing and Tyler Hynes seems perfectly fine although they could try for Niall Cunningham. There are surprisingly a lot of familiar faces in the other roles. This is fine Hallmark and maybe more synergy to come.
