Mistletoe in Montana

This was one of the worst Christmas movies, ever!! The acting was terrible. The clothes were ridiculous; over the top city cowboy clothes. The ranch was a low budget set. The daughter was the best actress. So fake!!

Apparently Christmas takes place in the summer in this movie. The grass is green and there is zero snow. Beautiful scenery, but completely filmed out of season. There was no chemistry between the two main characters. I can picture a scenario where they were best friends from college that dated twice and decide being friends was better. I liked all the characters, however, especially Merry's dad and the girl. I loved the photography arch and the message of being present in your kids life and ditching the devices. I also loved that they cast a Native American two actors and made them multi dimensional instead of a sterotype. It was an okay movie, but a little dull.

I'm from MT. I get that filming took place in summer and outdoor scenes were shot in early fall to get snow on the mountains, but we DO NOT have sunlight at 6 am in December. We don't have green grass in December, you cannot sit outside at a campfire or wear such light clothing in December. There's no snow on trees and Kalispell/Flathead Lake area would be super cold and covered in snow at Christmas. I'm really disappointed that this is not a more accurate depiction of what MT really looks like. I live 30 miles from East Helena where the town scenes were shot, so I know what it should look like. I love Kelli Martin and Melissa Joan Hart, I thought it would've been better. I watched Melissa posting on FB while she was here and our local news posted the filming, so I'm not guessing at this stuff... content was good though.

Pretty good movie. Nothing was 'saved' - like a bakery, bookstore or town.

The cowboy theme was a little 'over-the-top'.

What I DID get from this movie is to put your work aside and enjoy life and your kids. And also, that kids CAN survive without electronics and social media!!!

I usually don't watch Christmas movies on Lifetime or Hallmark Channel unless my friend is playing an extra on them. But I saw Duane Henry (killed off of NCIS😡) and Jamey Sheridan was in it so decided to watch.

It's not a bad movie and the acting isn't bad either. It's the typical from-Christmas movie so expect cheesy storylines. It's not bad in my opinion. Would I watch it again? Probably not.
