Christmas with Felicity

I am pretty sure the reviews that gave this movie a ten are friends and family of the cast and production.

The movie is beyond bad. The plot, the acting, the costumes are of the worst possible quality.

I cannot help wondering, when watching these hallmarkish movies, if the actors offer to work for free. There is no other explanation for these people to be cast. As for the costumes, they were right off the racks of a thrift store and it showed.

The last scene in which everyone is dancing, they are obviously dancing to a tune totally different from what we actually hear or... they are also awful dancers.

The one thing I thought I could rely on in the UK's Channel 5 Christmas films was their unrelenting niceness - that is, until I saw this one (which was titled Baking My Way to Christmas in the UK, for some reason). The charm that usually fills these kind of films is sadly missing here. Making the lead character so mopey and unpleasant in the early part of the film backfires badly, and I can imagine that many viewers would have given up when the first ad break arrived. The script is terrible, the performances weak, and the story just never grips. As others have said, the 10-star reviews on here are mighty suspicious and should probably be taken with a pinch of salt.

Absolutely loved watching Christmas with Felicity. It warms you up and gives you all the good feels this holiday season. Herb Porter brings so much positivity and is a breath of fresh air in this film. An honest performance by all, it's relatable, and exactly what you want in a holiday film.

All of these 10 star reviews are suspect to me. The lead actress is rude and snotty with everyone, including her parents and sister, and everyone she comes in contact with! I could not stand her and didn't care how she would turn for the better.

This is a sweet story about a young baker who rediscovers the magic of Christmas. With romance, drama, comedy, and plenty of baking, it has all the right ingredients for a heartwarming holiday movie.
