A Merry Single Christmas

Its nearly impossible to engage in the plot, however simple it is. I keep expecting her eye lashes to stick together so she can't open her eyes. That much eye makeup went out years ago. I'm wondering if the actress didn't object to that much cake with the eyes, and the lips followed suit. What a beautiful girl if she had gone natural. Its also funny to count the ways production made sure all categories were covered in the group. It gets so old having the blend always be the same. Of course right down to the middle aged, overweight woman. Somewhere in this production there might have been a fun movie.

If you are looking for a feel-good movie with a talented cast, this movie is it. Chelsea Gilson and Andrew Rogers play the romantic leads with Sarah Armstrong as the quirky retreat manager. We've seen this trio together in other movies, and their experience working together is evident. Gilson, Rogers and Armstrong make the most of their characters while at the same time bring out the best in their supporting cast. The beautiful Chelsea Gilson brings kindness, sweetness and a bubbly enthusiasm to her role as Morgan, with just the right amount of sadness and vulnerability thrown in. Andrew Rogers is funny, humble and likeable as the handsome Liam. Morgan and Liam must hide their relationship history from the retreat manager, while being forced to work together on their assigned holiday 'crafts and tasks'. The pair share some wickedly icy moments in the beginning, but things do warm up when Morgan hatches a plan to create the perfect first date. Liam helps her execute the plan. Tim Shelburne, as Harry, makes us root for the underdog. This holiday movie checks all the right boxes. I recommend it.

If you believe the negative reviews then I have some swamp land to sell you. Very cute Christmas Rom-Com. Filmed in the Cleveland area and suburbs including Coe Lake in Berea Ohio. As Rom-Coms go it is on par for top ratings. Good story, photography, and acting. Lexi Giovanoli did a great job directing. Very much worth watching during the Holiday season. Scenes, homes, lighting done very well and look great o. Our 75" 4k Samsung. So grab the holiday beverage, hot chocolate, wine, beer and cozy up on the couch to enjoy a wonderful movie. Thanks for the fun. Shame that those that focused only on the negative and stopped watching missed a great show.

Firstly, I'm an avid watcher of these types of Christmas movies. I watch one-two during the daytime leading up to Christmas Eve. I like the feel-good simple romantic comedy spirit about them.

With that said... While the plot for A Merry Single Christmas seemed Christmas-y entertaining and right up my alley, between the writing (that is, the dialog) and the acting, this is completely unwatchable. I have seen better acting at high school plays. There's only one scene that was worth anything: The last scene of Juliet's, which isn't even the lead character.

I strongly suggest not wasting your time. You will want that one hour and twenty-eight minutes back...just like I do.

Sometimes you really need to zone out and watch a feel good Christmas movie and that's exactly what A Merry Single Christmas delivers! The lead actors had such great on screen chemistry that I actually believed they were a real couple! I felt transformed into the movie and even dreamed about going on a retreat to get away for the holidays. The blonde actress who played the lead role was so adorable and extremely talented! The story was really cute and although we all know the formula for these movies, it will still fun to watch with a little twist! I highly recommend this movie as it's one of my new favorite "Hallmarky Holiday movies" and can't wait to watch it the second Thanksgiving is over!
