Christmas at the Plaza

I don't usually watch Hallmark movies, they aren't fro me, but I watched this one because I am a fan of Elizabeth Henstridge, and she is actually good in it, everyone else isn't trying. Overall I had fun laughing at all the corny stuff in it and I recommend it for anyone who wants a fluffy movie with a good lead actress.

I like this holiday movie. Instead of the two main characters bickering and fighting at the beginning of the movie, they are connected immediately. I found the chemistry between the two actors very real. I love the background story with the missing tree topper and the story behind it.

This is a lovely story. I like the historical interest tied in with Christmas as well as the blossoming romance. I'm not sure that she was totally fair to her boyfriend or that she was the most likeable person either, but he. . . He was beautiful, a deep voice and a gorgeous smile and face, probably with a body that rocks too.

Also, Bruce Davison is slowly becoming very popular with me. He works his arse off to be in all these films and I did like his characters arc in this one.

It's a charming story, with history and with traditional family values at Christmas, what's not to like?

Just about enjoyable.

'Christmas at the Plaza' gets slightly uninteresting in parts, but I largely had a solid enough time with it. I enjoyed the hotel setting, as well as the heavy Xmas vibes. Elizabeth Henstridge is good in the lead role, her (Jessica) and Ryan Paevey (Nick) have suitable chemistry. I also liked Bruce Davison as Reginald.

The story is a pleasant one, which involves a decent amount of heart. It's, albeit narrowly, worth a watch.

Elizabeth Henstridge seems to have no life at all in this movie, making me wonder that she is only saved in Agents of Shield by the presence of so many other actors.

The film isn't helped by having the same tired "girl left on her own by clueless boyfriend" cliche.

Was this movie conceived only to get The Plaza to write a big check as a placement sponsor? Seems like it. The writers sure didn't seem to be able to get past that.
