'Miss Christmas' left me a bit mixed in terms of what my opinion on it was overall. It is a long way from being a terrible film in my view and served its purpose as a just scraping borderline average, inoffensive film. Other Hallmark Christmas films are far worse written, acted and looking and ones that bored, annoyed and insulted the intelligence more. Sadly, 'Miss Christmas' didn't strike me as particularly good either, with a lot of the usual flaws apparent. It does have good things.
And those good things are going to be mentioned first. Visually, 'Miss Christmas' looks quite good with it being shot and lit well and while standard the settings were appealing at least. The music has some affectionate nostalgia that does give off a festive vibe.
Brooke D'Orsay is appealing in the female lead role and Marc Blucas is a charming leading man who looks comfortable and looked engaged with the material. They do have a nice natural, genuine chemistry together, it's standard but there is spark and charm with them. Some of the film is heart-warming and sweet, with good intentions evident and doesn't feel too heavy.
However, 'Miss Christmas' is easy to criticise regardless of how one approaches the film and tries to take it for what it is. None of the supporting actors stand out and provide very little variation on nearly every character cliche in the book. Or at least that's how it felt like. The story doesn't have enough to it. Actually don't mind awfully that it was very formulaic.
What bothered me was that there was very unimaginatively executed, was really not much of one at all, had some fairly contrived situations and the film gets so sweet (too much so) in places it was almost sickly. Everything with the tree started off well but got ridiculous later. The script is similarly thin and quite routine, tending to have an awkward flow and was excessively cheesy and schmaltzy. By the end, which while sweet can indeed be seen from miles off, of the film it was one big pile of sloppy mush. Pacing can be a problem, with the story being too little a lot of the film crawls along and feels over-stretched. The direction is only functional at best and can be on the leaden side of things.
Overall, watchable but merely average. 5/10
The tree finder is Chicago's renowned Radcliffe Tree lighting is left desperate to find the perfect tree. A letter from a boy promising his tree is perfect sends her to a small town where she learns his dad isn't willing to part with the tree.
When she arrives in town she finds out the owner of the tree doesn't want her to have it.
Heart warming feature. Give it a shot! Now there is someone here attacking another reviewer. I trust his/hers views. They have been on IMDb for years.
I looked at what the reviewer has "Claimed". There are many films that have reviews and the reviewer has only reviewed that film!
I looked at his/her reviews and they are never "rude". I think someone on this board got called out on their behavior!
It was as generic and scripted as they come, and I say that in the most possible positive manner, because this was not a bad movie. But it was one that follows a very over-used formula of 'how-to-make-a-Christmas-movie' that Hallmark uses repeatedly.
The storyline in "Miss Christmas" was predictable, as it tends to be for movies such as this, and you knew exactly how the movie was going to end. However, there were some nice enough moments throughout the movie to make it worthwhile actually sticking with it to the very end.
And I will say that both Brooke D'Orsay and Marc Blucas were performing quite well and really carried the movie quite nicely, which made it all the more enjoyable to watch.
