A Cheerful Christmas

I am starting to wish Hallmark would not come to Ontario to film any Christmas movies. They just keep getting worse. Why is that? You save your absolute, most stupid stories for filming here? I would blame the cold temps for freezing the directors, actors and producers brains - but this is just crap writing and directing from the get go. Who approves these productions? I feel sorry for the actors, truly. It would be more enjoyable to just watch the winter scenery than to have to suffer through this horrid excuse of a movie. Enjoy the long view of the Rideau Canal, nothing else here worth watching.

As a fan of Hallmark films, i am used to the usual standard of acting. This is like a film pretending to be a Hallmark movie.

The lead female is so annoying you just want her to never speak again but she never shuts up and the acting is poor. The male has a terrible fake accent and can't act very well either. Not sure if he just tried too hard to be a posh English guy rather than concentrating on acting.

The acting is just too bad. It's really horrible!

I don't know why they cast these actors at all. After all normally they are all fine.

Worst one to date.

Lauren's character is immature, unprofessional and annoying. There is absolutely no chemistry between her and James. The story line itself was a wonderful idea, but it's hard to get past the lack of maturity and how irritating they made Lauren's character. Enthusiasm for her job and love of Christmas is great. She is just too unlikable to enjoy the good movie.

Worst Hallmark movie I have ever seen! Chad Connell was stiff and unbelievable. Erica Deutschman was worse! They never really connected and her character was beyond annoying. Can't understand why she wasn't fired on the first day of the job! Real World 101: acquisitions companies do not take kindly to terminally perky blonds wandering in and out of offices. She would have been fired when she 'decorated' an office after being told specifically that it was off-limits.

4/10 - the story was fine, but by God was the main character beyond irritating
