Christmas Under the Lights

Christmas under the lights is a movie about a marketing executive who is persuaded by her brother to return to the family farm to help run a holiday event after the passing of their mother. I feel like I've typed that before.

Anyway, she is reluctant to return because she's still carrying baggage from her troubled relationship with her mom.

She does so, and on the way has a meet-hostile with a man she later learns is an artist staying at the farm as a refuge following a bad breakup.

There are several things that stand out in this movie: for one, the leads are prettier than people have a right to be. I have to say it's nice to see some actual masculinity in one of these movies, and they have a little fun mocking it from time to time.

They also manage to get in a couple jabs at the Hollywood/social media types.

This movie is very dialogue-heavy. Some of it is very well-written, but some not.

Supporting cast is good, although again, another movie with mostly unfamiliar faces.

Not a bad job, I think many will enjoy it. I do not happen to be a big fan of all the heavy conversation, and really didn't care for the flashbacks.

Six.
