Colorado Christmas

This was a sweet story about a single mom and a young daughter trying to find their way after the husband/father dies. The love interest is a likable country superstar singer. It has a very predictable but feel good ending. There were really no surprises in it, and the characters were rather dull and they lacked depth of character. Also, they seamed inexperienced and didn't show a lot of emotion. The movie was rather slow paced. But overall the story had a positive tone and the characters were good people who ment well, and in the end, did all the right things. I find these types of movies pleasant and entertaining and glad that I watched it.

There aren't any surprises here, but Colorado Christmas gave me almost exactly what I was looking for: a warm, romantic piece of comfort for Christmas. After a hard day taking care of everything, I just wanted to get under a blanket and watch a movie to make me feel relaxed and happy. This little movie is just what the doctor ordered. Sweet as Christmas cookies. The only surprise was an unexpected appearance of Diana DeGarmo! She was one of my favorite American Idols so it was great fun to watch her. Don't expect exploding cars or nudity and bad language, but do expect to feel the warmth of love and Christmas. Just what the doctor ordered.

I really wanted to like this film, but it falls quite short! It is low budget and it shows. The problems in the film are numerous: the script is written more like a novel than a script. It didn't translate well to the screen. The movie is very dialogue heavy, and the speaking between the actors sounds more like prose narration than interaction. Flat and emotionless. In a romance film, one expects more spark. Not much chemistry between the two main actors. Much of the film is not that believable. All of the actors except for the child and the old guy seemed stilted and unsure of themselves in their roles. On the positive side, the scenery is lovely. I don't know if this was actually filmed in Colorado but it seems authentic.

Truly egregious performances make this unwatchable. I've seen some really fun and sweet Hallmark movies with leads who can actually act, but this isn't one of them. It's completely unconvincing to the point of being bizarre and almost painful. Zero chemistry between the leads results in no connection to the story or the characters and so no interest in what happens. It's almost like they had no rehearsals or direction at all.

The setting is quite nice and the story could have been good without all of the above. Skip this if you're looking for something fun or comforting before it will probably depress you.

I recently watched Colorado Christmas and, to put it bluntly, it was a struggle from start to finish. The acting was abysmal; it felt like the cast was reading their lines for the first time, lacking any genuine emotion or connection. The poor direction only exacerbated the situation, making each scene feel disjointed and awkward.

While I can't deny that the lead actor has a certain charm-he's quite cute, and honestly, I wouldn't mind him throwing me in the dirt and having his way-the rest of the film leaves a lot to be desired. The dialogue was cringe-worthy, and the plot was predictable to the point of being forgettable.

In summary, Colorado Christmas is a prime example of how a movie can have all the elements of a holiday classic but still fall flat. If you're looking for quality entertainment, I'd recommend skipping this one. Save your time for something more worthwhile!
