Avis à la une
After seeing Christmas in Mississippi, I was looking forward to this one. Jana Kramer was so good in the former, despite the fact she didn't perform any song. This movie needed something more than it had and perhaps her doing a song or two would have helped.
I will say that the premise of the story was a little unusual, but unfortunately after setting that up it fell flat. This movie also has three couples, with each couple being previous winners of Mr and Mrs Christmas awards and each woman being a succeeding generation of the same family. The most senior has been married for decades, the middle generation lady no longer has a husband, and the youngest had her Mr Christmas break up with her publicly almost instantly after being crowned. The movie focuses on the three as the middle lady is courted by a stranger, and the youngest spends a lot time with the former boyfriend.
Perhaps the story suffers from spreading the focus out to three couples. As a result, we don't get to see enough of any of the relationships. Perhaps this movie suffers from having no sentimental moment like Kramer's previous movie.
But as other reviewers have said, the biggest problem is Luke. Something just doesn't click with him. There is no chemistry and perhaps that is because Percy Daggs III is trying too hard. Perhaps I find it harder to forgive Luke for his youthful mistake than Sarah does. I was much more interested in Moira's budding relationship.
I hope that if Lifetime does Christmas in Alabama next year, they give Kramer a chance to sing. Meanwhile I will watch Louisiana again, but not Mississippi.

The description certainly was generic cliche- big city girl goes home to christmas festival blablabla. Nothing spectacular there. Someone had the bright idea in the writing dept to shine the light on the relationships of 3 generations of the Winters family. In fact at the outset I was more interested in Moira Kelly and the photographer. Could have been flushed out a bit more. I will say the 2 older couples had a natural chemistry probably just coming from years of acting and knowing how to be charming/flirtatious etc without looking like they're trying too hard. I think I've seen Percy Daggs in other stuff and felt the same way, he ddidn't seem natural with his female lead. Like fish out of water. But even with Lifetime or Hallmark you do see younger leads actually melding together naturally. This time wasn't it. But kudos for the 3 generations of stories idea. Just needed to build them better. Certainly doable in 90 minutes, especially since the whole thing was relationship based. There was no plot time spent on big city person developer buying up town real estate, or whatever the big city corporate leads usually have up their sleeves by going home for Christmas, or to save a parade or festival etc. Good start lifetime. Keep on this track.
I liked the concept and the supporting cast was great, however the movie fell flat on it's face. Agree with many of the reviewers, the leads lacked chemistry and appeared awkward in their interactions. Maybe a change in one or both leads could have made this a better watch.
Having been born and raised in the town of New Iberia, this movie perfectly depicts the small-town charm that my city has; I was so happy to see so many familiar faces and places. I hope we get more people to come and see what we have to offer now that Christmas is actually around the corner. It would be amazing to have another movie filmed here again; the experience was wonderful and everyone was so kind.
Luke and Sarah had absolutely no chemistry! But the Grandparents were adorable and so was Sarah's Mama!
