An Ice Wine Christmas

This being a Hallmark-style movie you're not going to get an original plot or particularly good writing. The most you can hope for is clever dialog, decent acting and maybe even some chemistry between love interests. This has none of these. I found it so tedious that I turned it off after 20 minutes and I wasn't even really paying attention anyway (cruising the web on my tablet).

Bad acting. Really bad writing although the female lead didn't seem to follow the script anyway. The scenery was mostly Hallmark standard B-roll from Canada but ironically I don't think it was from the area where they make ice wine (Niagra).

Skip It.

And this one is not Armenian? TBF, I thought she was Vanessa Marcil (or something like that) from a Vegas show (minus Robert Urich) but then I realized that was in the 2000's so she'd be much older now... unless the wax works had her plastified like that horror movie (Sunset Blvd unless it was House of Wax?) and then I came here and... she's not even Amerinian??

So they all have the same botched face. Add to that list the other Vanessa (Kobe's widow) and no woman is allowed to have her own face on TV? They all look the same like in that Twilight Zone episode where you pick which face you want, 1, 2 or 3 out of the catalog? Eva Longoria was the better version of that face, the others look like they chopped the nose off too much etc.

Anyway, Lifetime movies suck. No one can act in them. I was bored, I don't have that many channels left that I haven't watched the same one show they keep reairing for the past 5 years over and over again (seen all seasons times aplenty) so I stopped here: bad mistake, huge. Ok not huge but why does Lifetime channel suck so badly? Who watches this? When they're not doing forced relationship movies the entire December, they beat women the rest of the year. How is this channel still in existence?

Maybe they just go to Canada acting schools and pick the worst of the worst of students? (Wait: that was one I tried to watch earlier today but also quit after like 10 min.) Look if you're bored I get it and if you have few channels I also get it. So find a website to play Solitaire and let this channel sink into oblivion and bankruptcy. Where are Arielle Kebelle and Brandon Routh? They ought to make a movie together and raise the bar at this channel! 1/10.

Unwatchable. Stopped to watch after 15 minutes only. The acting is so fake. You can't believe to anything there because of the bad acting. It's very superficial acting, the story lack of substance... It is as if the actors wanted to be everywhere else except there 😂😂😂 Awful. Even if it is a Christmas movie, there is a minimum of deepness, of content you need to pour in there. But here, unfortunately it is so awful that you have to stop to watch. I watched many Christmas movies and that one is by far the worst. Usually I go until the end, but here just impossible. It is a movie with inconsistent actors and story. So better to avoid.

Honestly, this is really hard to watch. It's a visual mess. Random stock footage and pointless cutaways. We gave up after 10 minutes as I was worried I might get eye cancer.

The plot was interesting enough but this Roselyn Sanchez? Oh my...Wayyyyy poor acting and ruined the movie. Too melodramatic; too over the top critical and a most uninteresting, not well rounded character. I never thought one person could ruin a plot. She was, most distracting with an overly negative character.

Too many TV Christmas movies are "pumped" out without real forethought or GOOD designation of actors as movie characters.

Such a shame.
