A Christmas Wish in Hudson

I absolutely loved this movie!! Largely, because I live in the St. Croix River Valley and it was fun to see a movie that was filmed in Hudson. It was, I suppose, a cute movie... I've been oddly attracted to dopey Christmas movies this year, which this most certainty is. I enjoyed it because the acting and script were so bad that it provided a lower end by which to judge other TV shows and movies. For example, I watched "Dead to Me" the following night (with Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini) and was blown away at how good the acting and writing were in comparison. "A Christmas Wish in Hudson" reminded me of a porno flick (bad acting, bad plot and male/female attraction)... only the sex never came. So unusual that it was good.

This movie was terrible.... The storyline clearly attempted to rip off Sleepless in Seattle and didn't do it very well at all. The acting was completely unbelievable and the scene set ups to try to show the actors falling for each other were very forced and fake. The boss in the beginning was one of the worst, most faked performances I've ever seen. Everything about this movie was unbelievable and poorly done.

I can't get that 2 hours back and I'm pretty mad about that. About 20 minutes in, I started multitasking so the time wouldn't be completely wasted.

Who thought this was a good idea and wasted the time and money to make film?

I'm sure GAC is falling victim to quantity over quality & is rushing production. I felt like the actors weren't given enough time to prepare. As a result, there was some overacring. Some of the scenes & script were awkward & clunky - almost too painful to watch. Make movies people will want to watch again & again. Give the actors a chance to show what they can do. Also, please change the formula... they're all so predictable. Beautiful scenery, I'm glad it was a real town in Wisconsin. I'm running out of things to say. This didn't start out to be overly critical, but I had to meet the character count requirement.

Ignore the 10-star reviews from the crew and cast, this movie's acting, script and direction are distracting bad. I mean, it is cringeworthy. The daughter, the daughter's boyfriend, the bad boss with a man-bun.

Wow, writing a 500 word review is insane. I really don't have that much to say about this forgettable movie, but a 500 word requirement is ridiculous.

The lead character is pretty but very flaky, and her whole trip to meet the guy on TV is creepy and desperate. The lead male is not very attractive, but he's in good shape. The dialogue is very two-dimensional, and fairly flaccid. Yay, 500 characters!

Great story line -You have a habit of using terrible leading men. In this movie Rib Hillis is not working with the female star Alex Rinehart AT ALL! The young boy, I think that's Carlos Merchay does not fit the movie either. The young girl playing the daughter needs a better actor to fit the script. This is not the only movie that We as a family have recorded and started to watch but when we see the pairings of male stars with the Female actress and they just are terrible lookers we end up deleting the movie. Most of the time they are also a sad actor, no acting abitlity at all. We love this channel, it gives the Hallmark channel competion .
