A Merry Single Christmas

It is interesting how terrible hair and makeup can be so distracting you cannot even try to enjoy the movie. The fake eyelashes on the main character are dramatically out of control, as other reviews have said. I just watched the trailer and I think I may be done.

I don't think I can watch more of this while I worry that her eyelids may stick together. I like the idea of a singles retreat and I wanted to see a holiday movie with a single main character but this movie may not work for me.

I'm not sure what else I can say about this movie because I haven't watched it, but I can't save this review without this paragraph.

If you believe the negative reviews then I have some swamp land to sell you. Very cute Christmas Rom-Com. Filmed in the Cleveland area and suburbs including Coe Lake in Berea Ohio. As Rom-Coms go it is on par for top ratings. Good story, photography, and acting. Lexi Giovanoli did a great job directing. Very much worth watching during the Holiday season. Scenes, homes, lighting done very well and look great o. Our 75" 4k Samsung. So grab the holiday beverage, hot chocolate, wine, beer and cozy up on the couch to enjoy a wonderful movie. Thanks for the fun. Shame that those that focused only on the negative and stopped watching missed a great show.

Sometimes you really need to zone out and watch a feel good Christmas movie and that's exactly what A Merry Single Christmas delivers! The lead actors had such great on screen chemistry that I actually believed they were a real couple! I felt transformed into the movie and even dreamed about going on a retreat to get away for the holidays. The blonde actress who played the lead role was so adorable and extremely talented! The story was really cute and although we all know the formula for these movies, it will still fun to watch with a little twist! I highly recommend this movie as it's one of my new favorite "Hallmarky Holiday movies" and can't wait to watch it the second Thanksgiving is over!

I could not watch past 20 minutes, and that's a lot as I was ready to switch the movie off after 5 minutes. The first hard pill to swallow was the main actress Chelsea Gilson's eyelashes and lips, it was just extremely hard to get past.

Then the acting... my daughter is a Theater major so I try not to critique too harshly and give all actors a chance but the acting was a disaster.

I was disappointed because I have enjoyed many movies Lexi Giavagnoli has been in so I was looking forward to this one.

I watch and enjoy all kind of cheesy, cliché Christmas and rom-com movies but this is a hard pass.

If you are looking for a feel-good movie with a talented cast, this movie is it. Chelsea Gilson and Andrew Rogers play the romantic leads with Sarah Armstrong as the quirky retreat manager. We've seen this trio together in other movies, and their experience working together is evident. Gilson, Rogers and Armstrong make the most of their characters while at the same time bring out the best in their supporting cast. The beautiful Chelsea Gilson brings kindness, sweetness and a bubbly enthusiasm to her role as Morgan, with just the right amount of sadness and vulnerability thrown in. Andrew Rogers is funny, humble and likeable as the handsome Liam. Morgan and Liam must hide their relationship history from the retreat manager, while being forced to work together on their assigned holiday 'crafts and tasks'. The pair share some wickedly icy moments in the beginning, but things do warm up when Morgan hatches a plan to create the perfect first date. Liam helps her execute the plan. Tim Shelburne, as Harry, makes us root for the underdog. This holiday movie checks all the right boxes. I recommend it.
