Christmas Lovers Anonymous

There was something very weird or off about the way this movie looked and sounded. I kept watching it (off and on) in order to figure it out. It seemed very amateurish and produced on a shoestring . It was like it was done with one camera, almost like a cell phone. It was like they shot the movie and then had it redubbed. There was no or very little background noise except for a faint tinkling melody. There was no action or anyone running around, or interacting with extras. The actors just talked at each other, like they were taking turns reading their lines. During a break, a voice came on that essentially thanked viewers for leaving Hallmark and "coming home" to GFam. Desperate and divisive. Like an us versus them mentality. Not exactly Christian or in the spirit of Christmas. But an attitude I guess I would expect by those who are the money behind this network. I'm going to rate it but am giving them the benefit of the doubt since I didn't see the whole thing. Basically another weak version of the "you've got mail" plot.

There really isn't anything of quality that I can say about this movie. The acting is amateurish, the story is weak, the character development is down right non existent, and the fact that the same person wrote, directed and acted in the movie probably means they couldn't get anyone else to do it. The lead actress acts like she is in elementary school not an adult and book author. I'm guessing with the limited budgets that these movies have is the only reason it got released in the first place. If this is what Great American Family channel is going to dole out to us, I'll stick to the Hallmark channel.

I actually enjoy the Hallmark quality movies but this one is "porno acting" quality. I don't get the sense the actors knew who their characters were while filming and constantly kept trying to change the way they talk. Save yourself the trouble and watch an ACTUAL Hallmark movie.

This movie was horrible! I couldn't even make it to the point where the two leads actually meet each other. The quality of acting from the "supporting actors" was absolutely atrocious! I had to keep pausing because after I was completely shocked by the obvious stage fright of these people, I would burst out laughing!

Also not sure why GAC is so heavily promoting this movie as a new film when it came out last year! Unless they edited it, swapped out some of the actors for ones that can actually act, then I don't see the point in essentially re-releasing a film that already isn't worth being shown twice!

The story was awesome just the lighting and acting seemed like a movie from the 70's seems like they were trying to hard to say their lines like reading cue cards . Not a great movie. This movie could have been way better . I know the actors took cues from directors and producers so they need to check their skills. I hope they try to get this better . I'm not a expert however I watch lots of movies. I love GAC this needs to get better before people stop watching this channel . I pray it gets better and they learn from their mistakes . Thanks GAC fir all you do . I will keep watching and waiting .
