A Mermaid for Christmas

I'm a sucker for cheesy Christmas movies. This one started out very promising (the backstory was done very nicely) but the movie went downhill quickly.

Why is every actor screaming their lines and super mad?!? I'm disappointed that it's not just a cheesy movie, but it's an unwatchable, very bad cheesy Christmas movie.

It's so bad that I googled it, so I could find a place to leave a review. I also took the time to reset my imbd password to get in. SMH

... American cannot act anymore. Valley girl accents haunt every picture. Perhaps they could act if they had the right Director; or actors from Montana? Or a director that cuts all the superficial rubbish, superfluous facial gestures, endless non-essential body movements, etc., etc. I know people thrive on "feelgood" but does it have be this dystopian? I don't expect Shakespeare but is there any middle ground? If the problem is having a writer as director I understand, but it just seems like Splash 2 is going to break out and that sickening sound effect from Darrell Hannah will be replaced as whale suffering death throws of pleasure or pain...perhaps both. Ooppsies out takes at the end just increases the dysfunctional feel of: "when it will all end"?? I love Christmas and being away from Hollyweed I realise how huge the Christmas film bonanza is. Only satisfied if it tortures the Christmas haters. Try getting a mermaid tail that does not expose your feet even if you're in the waves.

As a former high school Drama director, I would never have accepted such amateurish, stiff acting, direction and writing. The first fifteen minutes was torture and good cause to stop the suffering.

This movie was honestly something I would expect on the Hallmark channel. The storyline was really silly, the acting was dreadful. I found myself cringing at how awkwardly written it was. The antagonist was utterly ridiculous. Don't waste your time with this one folks.

Loved seeing my favorite soap stars in this cute holiday flick, a fun film for the family. Stay Tuned after the credits for some bloopers 😁 Hope they make some more movies like this.
