A Very Corgi Christmas

This is not a good Christmas movie or a good dog movie. The scenes are awkward, boring and slow. The dog scenes are especially poorly done. The acting is not great but that could be due to the terrible script including some especially bad dialogue, even by dog-Christmas-movie standards. Hard pass.

Unlike recent dog movies this one isn't saved by cute dogs. The story of two single parents bonding is tedious and boring. She has to work and the spoilt kid can't understand how a single parent puts food on the table. The leads are okay to look at though there isn't much romance.

This is the story of a single mom, who doesn't really like Christmas anymore because that's the time of year when her husband died and she has to work for a promotion instead of spending time with her kid. She meets a single dad when she takes her kid to her parents house. Oh! And due to not communicating with her parents or her sister, her parents aren't there...they are out of town on vacation. She was counting on them watching her son while she worked. The single dad is crazy about Christmas and is a handy contractor!

The single dad is played by Kevin McGarry and he was wonderful...he and the kids...and the corgi puppy, really carried the movie instead of their star, Kelly Kruger, who was an unbelievable mother. I can't believe that he would fall in love with or choose to be with Kelly Kruger's character. My other real complaint is about the music...it was terrible. I don't say that lightly either.

This is another holiday movie where the spouse has been killed off. I'm not sure why, it's not very Christmas-y. I wish they would stop with the dead parents and divorcees in Holiday movies...it's depressing and I watch holiday movies to be up lifted.

The puppy is adorable and Kevin McGarry is really lovely...but they are the only real reasons to watch this holiday romance.

Time does only go one way.

This story is, literally, painful to watch! Plenty of "smell the fart" acting, mixed with gobs of awkwardness and a heaping helping of truly horrible music makes the standard Hallmark schlock seem like The Godfather in comparison. This production has NO redeeming qualities. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

I switched to this movie and it appears to have one Corgi who appears fairly irregularly.

Admittedly I have only watched half an hour of it but less than 3 minutes of Corgi.

For it to be a Very Corgi Christmas I'd expect at least 3 Corgis to be in screen for a minimum of 50% of the whole film.

Very disappointing.
