Country Hearts Christmas

This is a sequel to Country Hearts and I think you really need to have watched that first. I had a hard time figuring out what was going on and as a result I had a harder time getting invested in any of the stories. This feels a little more like a soap opera than a Christmas movie. In fact it felt like there were some slightly loose threads left open at the end. To put it simply, there are a lot of story threads in this movie.

There are two main sources of tension in this movie. I think that the Christmas Eve show is supposed to be the main one, but it didn't pull me in. The other is Justin's problem. It is a little darker. For most of the movie it left me not caring much for Justin. This might not have been the case if I had gotten invested in this story in the original movie. Same with Tori's romantic dilemma.

There are several songs by the girls. At least one is original.

This is a faith based story, but it isn't overemphasized.
