Christmas Takes Flight

Wow this was the dullest movie ever. Where do I begin? The actors the plot the dialogue all missed the mark. I don't think it was the social messaging that was the problem; the movie was just dull.

The lead actors were so mismatched. In fact , none of the actors made sense in the roles they were cast in. There was no chemistry whatsoever.

CBS has been trying with these Christmas movies. They only had one movie that I liked and it was from last year!

I don't know why I hung in there till the end. I guess I was hoping it would get better. Waste of two hours of my life I will never get back. They should have paid me to watch this mess!!😂

I think they leaned into making the lead a jerk too much because he was unlikable. By the end he didn't deserve the leading lady. Not by a long shot. And they tried to have us forget that he was the reason the charity event they were all fighting for was canceled. Jerk! Her sacrifice for the Charity brought me to tears. There was no chemistry between the vivacious heroine and the guy. The romance they crowbared in at the end was out of left field. She was as surprised by it as I was. If it ended on a handshake between employer employee it would have made more sense. There should be a sequel were she find true love with someone else.

Generally a pleasant movie. Of course it had the antagonistic leads and the build up to a crisis but the story was enjoyable enough. It was well served by the actors who were very natural esp the wonderful Katie Lowes.

I am sick of All these movies having empty cups in EVERY dri l scene. A woman always carries in 4 huge cups of "liquid" with one hand. Hands a clearly empty Styrofoam cup to the person, and inevitably, the person tilts the cup halfway back for the first sip. Ludicrous.sometimes the camera shows the new drink from an angle showing halfway down its empty. Sick of this!! If you can't believe that, you can't believe anything.

This is awful. The female character's family has some legitimately bad practices at their company they just sold to the male character. We are supposed to side with the female character because he is taking all the joy out of their not very profitable family business. She is annoying and he is a stick in the mud. It's awful. I just wanted them both to disappear from my screen. I couldn't make it past the first 30 minutes and I love these cheesy types of movies. Incredibly formulaic but annoying and dull.

It's so awful I am struggling to get to the minimum word count for this review.

The Christmas decorations are on point though.
