Christmas at the Holly Day Inn

Of course I had never heard about the 2023 movie "Christmas at the Holly Day Inn" prior to sitting down and watching it. But I figured from the movie's cover that I would be in for an archetypical sappy Christmas movie here.

20 minutes in and I was ready to give up out of sheer and utter boredom. The movie had absolutely no Christmas spirit or charm, and the narrative was insanely slow paced with characters that were flaccid and one-dimensional. So writer Lisa Chapman didn't exactly manage to conjure up something grand here, and it was quite a struggle to sit through this ordeal of a movie.

The only familiar face on the screen was actor Mark Arnold, and he wasn't a leading actor. The acting performances in the movie were generally half-hearted for the most parts, which made it all the more unbearable to sit through the ordeal that is "Christmas at the Holly Day Inn".

If you enjoy traditional sappy Christmas movies, give "Christmas at the Holly Day Inn" a wide berth, because it just didn't cut it.

My rating of directors Monika Gergelova and Adam Wilson's 2023 movie lands on a two out of ten stars.
