Christmas CEO

I don't know if it was the actor, Paul Greene, the writers or the director, but i found his character very unlikeable. Paul was stiff and unrefined. His character was narcissistic and crude. The other characters gave good performances and were the only reason i finished the movie. Marisol Nichols was especially good. The ending was unrealistic & unsatisfying.

I feel like I'm in bizzaro world this Christmas season 2021 for Hallmark movies. It seems that I like the movies that get bad reviews and vice versa. This movie was enjoyable and worthy of watching. Joe (Greene) was trying to show Chris (Nichols), that she's lost the dream they both once had of making toys that bring children pleasure. Chris, the CEO of the toy company she once had with Joe, was about making profits and in turn, she lost all the joy of the holidays and has been missing time with family for the sake of the business. Her niece even made her realize that not all the toys her company sold were fun and instead said one was "lame"! Chris had no clue!

This is a Hallmark Christmas movie for crying out loud! What were some negative reviewers expecting? One reviewer wrote about him trying to hold Chris' business hostage. Some said Greene's character was juvenile. I personally found the character of Joe very logical and kind. Sometimes Greene can be goofy in his roles but not in this one.

The few cons... Santa was just odd and the person who played Joe's father looked the same age as Joe. Lol. Greene is almost 50 and his father looked 50+.

If you do watch this movie, try not to get caught up in the business aspect of it.

PS I love Chris' niece. Nice addition to the story.

This movie was generic hallmark production, there was nothing unique in the movie to Make you focus. And yet it wasn't totally awful. The story while it was generic was cute and enjoyable. I'm not sure the actors had really good chemistry between them but the actors had fun and you could feel it. Paul greene shines trough every hallmark movie and this movie is no exception. Ok movie nothing more.

The only thing she's ever wanted in her life - to be CEO of a toy company... THEN why does she basically give it up for a guy? Hallmark - you missed the mark on this one. Casting was off too. Paul Greene's character was annoying and he was kind of a jerk. Not a good look for the "nice guy of Hallmark movies." Marisol Nichols was too tentative to be a CEO of ANYTHING. The niece was good though...LOL.

The premise has been done, sort of. Joe holds Christie's business hostage so that she has to help him with a charity gig.

I didn't see a lot of Chemistry between Nichols and Greene. As much as I loved Nichols' last Christmas movie, I don't think she was cast right for this one. Christie's personality is too hesitant for a CEO, not only in action but in the harried, almost frightened look she has most of the time. She is supposed to start out as totally numbers driven, the brains behind the business side, but it just doesn't fit.

Joe is the opposite. He is scornful of not just making a profit, but of even considering economic reality at all. I can't like this matchup in the long run.

The niece is a breath of fresh air in the movie.
