A Christmas for Mary

Personally i think movie is dull, simple and dumb but its does not matter, because its black christmas movie and that is very rare creature, representation matter even if it representation in that way.

Amazing cast! Morgan Dixon and Jackee Harry really shined! Very enjoyable. I felt glued to the screen the entire time, need more Christmas films like this!

I love a good "Hallmark" style Christmas movie, and this blew majority of Hallmark's out of the water by far! From the main couple to Jackée Harry and Vivica A. Fox, you couldn't have picked a perfect story and cast! It's such a fun wonderful movie to watch and 30 minutes in, when premiered, and I was already googling to see if I could get it on DVD/Blu-Ray; I'm STILL looking to get it on DVD

A Christmas For Mary (2020) -

This film was not the best. The general romance between the two leads was fine and quite sweet and the story being that slight bit different was enjoyable, but some of the other factors of its production were quite lacklustre.

Jackée Harry as Deborah and Vivica A. Fox as Vivian were both so hammy! I assumed that they were famous for something else, but I don't know them enough to see why they would ever get work again.

Although the leads were not the best actors either, they were less corny than the others.

Lena was hardly a cut throat reporter though and I didn't think that the story she was writing was really that worthy of excitement.

Some of the sets were very poor, as if they were using whatever they could afford, rather than the appropriate locations. The sunshine didn't help either, making it seem like it was mid summer. A lot of the props were far too modern for items that were alleged to be around 50 years old too. The letters didn't even have stamps on and they had clearly attempted to make them look old with tea.

I might have liked it if Lena (Morgan Dixon) had got together with Will at the end, because she had found out that Michael (Alonzo B. Slater) was her cousin and they couldn't love each other, but meeting him had opened her up to the idea of love, by finding a new best friend. I'm just desperately looking for new stories and hopeful that the producers will read my reviews and realise that they could make something less formulaic.

It really wasn't a hideous film, but it could have been so much better.

3.75/10.

Smooth, seamless, believable storyline. Easy to get caught up in the lives of the characters. Great chemistry between main characters. Awesome Christmas decorations. Beautiful Christmas sweaters.
