My Christmas Inn

A great holiday movie on par with Hallmark holiday movies! 'Tis the season!

This genre is always told from the woman's perspective; we start with her. IMHO, if you can't relate to that lead...there's little to hang your hat on.

Tia Mowry's Jen was so prickly from the start I never really got in her corner.

What do we learn about Jen in the first 20 minutes? She's self-important about her average job, cancels a lot with her friend, dislikes Christmas, and seems indifferent to her late aunt's death. Not to mention all the fugly blouses and nearly bust-high belts (?!).

When love interest Brian (a wasted Rob Mayes) described her as 'rude, snarky and kinda mean', I gave him an Amen.

Their lack of chemistry made me roll my eyes every time a character cited it.

One last gripe: why set this in Alaska? Any midwestern town could've contrasted with SF...without the false presence of winter daylight and total absence of Native Alaskans.

Not realistic, Alaska does not have daylight in the winter. Lived there while my husband was stationed in Fairbanks. This is not the first time a network has made this obvious mistake.

Tia acting awesome ... But filming ... Outside the inn... ... You are in a small TOWN COUNTRY. Very little traffic and you show high volume traffic all around this place. You had no understanding of a small town ... Did someone forget to use their head? Lol would make sense if your MOVIE / FILMING/ Background all made sense to where it's suppose to be location wise...

This movie was just what I needed, light, cute, fun, and funny, with a bit of romance thrown in.

The acting was good, and all the actors really seemed to be enjoying themselves, i.e., the chemistry was great. It was refreshing seeing Jackée, Tim Reid and Tia Mowry all working together again. It was like a family reunion. Ha, ha!

It would be lovely if we could live in a town such as the one depicted in the film where people were actually kind and didn't use systemic oppression, prejudice and biases to unnaturally make people's lives a living hell.
