A Very Charming Christmas Town

I don't get the low reviews this was a good movie for lifetime standards it brings the cliche romances and Christmas spirit

People keep saying that this is a Hallmark movie- it's not. Lifetime put this one on. This is the epitome of why viewers prefer Hallmark movies much more than Lifetime ones at Christmas. The story is standard holiday fare, but a Hallmark production would have cast far better actors and made sure that the sets were beautiful.

The lead actress is appallingly untalented and save for Sully from Dr Quinn, the others are not much better.

They are stilted and awkward, clearly "acting" - whereas the Hallmark actors make you believe that they actually are their characters. The lead actress might be almost illiterate- her mangling of "windmills" and use of "expeshally" reveals a lack of education on her part, and gross ineptitude on the part of the director and any other staff responsible for dialogue. The dialogue sounds like the Netflix programs dubbed in English- like thevperson is reading from a page and is bored senseless.

The lead actor has less personality and animation than a malfunctionig Disney attraction. This diminishes the appeal of the historic tidbits about the lovely twon- the only thing positive in this train wreck.

Hallmark would have done a far superior production that would showcase Solvang and send droves of Christmas mad tourists to its streets. The town should disavow association with this production.

So, this is now my 4th Lifetime Christmas movie of the 2020 season, and it's second from the top. When I saw that Natalie Hall was one of the leads in the film, I was looking forward to seeing this one. I had seen her recently in a couple of cute (Hallmark) films: You're Bacon Me Crazy and Sincerely, Yours, Truly. Though this film was not as strong as those two, it was still entertaining. Natalie and Jon Prescott's performance were pretty good. Their chemistry was good at times, and other times, it was a bit off, but overall, not bad. The story is cute and enjoyable with some decent dialogue, though a bit 'cheesy' at times, as one would expect in a Lifetime romance movie. The supporting cast was great; I enjoyed Jo Marie Payton's performance as Estelle. The props, scenery and sets were well done, though the fake snow was quite obviously fake at times on the screen. The movie too instilled a bit of Christmas spirit and cheer, which is nice. Fans of Hallmark and Lifetime will no doubt enjoy this new edition to Lifetime's original Christmas movies.

I'm a lover of bad horror and Science fiction, but my guilty pleasure is romantic comedies and the like. This movie is the perfect example, perfect people in a perfect town with a completely predictable plot. Makes you feel good inside. Enjoy.

I enjoyed this movie. It was sweet and charming. Predictable at times but I still enjoyed it.

I like the main leads and the supporting was good too.

I will probably watch it again.
