A Christmas Wish in Hudson

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.

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 .

This is pretty much all the usual Christmas romance movie stuff. The idea of Patrick attracting hordes of single women based on a random cooking show appearance is a bit unusual, but after that it is all the usual stuff. Lori is hiding that she came to town because of the show which Patrick has already said is stupid. They meet almost by accident and then do a lot of Christmas activities together. But there are no highs or lows or surprises. The only tension is Lori's secret. The conflict is totally expected but it seems overblown.

The acting is barely fair. The dialogue is totally flat. There isn't really any good humor. Everything is so flat that it's hard to see any chemistry between Alex Rinehart and Rib Hillis. The most appealing character is Patrick's daughter Nicole and she is part of a secondary romance.

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!

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?
