Une romance de Noël épicée

I have to admit I love the holiday season. One of my favorite things about the holiday season is Hallmark movies. I love them, I usually like most of them. I don't even mind the cheesy ones or the predictable ones I watch anyway, they just put me in the joyous holiday spirit, until this movie. I didn't make it through the whole movie and I tried. I think I made it through 45 minutes and thats being generous. It was just boring. I actually fell asleep a few times before I gave up. I don't know if it was the writing or acting or both. I just know nothing about this movie was enjoyable for me.

It was nice to see some more actresses besides the hallmark regular actresses. I can appreciate hallmark trying to add more diversity this year. It was nice to see more different races and cultures having a leading role in hallmark movies instead of just being a supporting cast. I would like to see more race and cultural diverse movies on Hallmark. That being said they need to be good movies along with good actors and actresses. The chemistry,writing and acting are important and this movie lacked all three. This was such a miscast. I don't know how this boring movie got the greening to be released. I've been feeling like 2018 Hallmark Christmas Movies have been a hit and miss for me this year. I've been finding myself researching some of their older movies.

I could tell that as a married woman, Tia didn't want to get too close to her costar. And the costar was just as flat. He was not about to cross the line with Cory's wife. I love Tia, but this was a miss for me.

The child actress who played Brooke was the shining light of this movie and the reason I gave this a 5. She was sweet, adorable and believable and gave a good performance. Too bad the adult leads weren't as good. Their performances were awkward and unbelievable. Would better direction have helped?

The script was very weak - it needed more dramatic tension for a better pay-off at the end. My overall reaction at the so-called climax was "Who cares?"

A lot of work goes into these productions so it's disappointing to see such a mediocre outcome.

This was a very hard movie to watch, the acting was really bad and it was boring. I really wanted to like it, finally some diversity, but they just didn't have great actors or plot.

There was no chemistry between the leads. The lead female's acting was very stiff. As to the story - as with all Hallmark movies very predictable. I don't quite understand the need for the younger sister to be a character in this movie, she really didn't add anything to the story. This would not be a movie I'd watch again.
