Fit for Christmas

I could not stop smiling while watching the movie! Paul and Amanda had great chemistry and the way they picked at each other made me laugh. I loved the storyline. It was so refreshing and different from other Christmas movies. I would love to live in a town like Mistletoe. I have always been a fan of Paul's and had really never knew of Amanda but after this movie, I am truly an Amanda Kloots fan now! She is so spunky and beautiful! Paul is such a great person and will forever be one of my favorite actors! The whole cast did an excellent job and this is definitely my favorite Christmas movie now!

I like movies like this, but somehow. Audrey wasn't quite what I am looking for. Amanda Kloots is pretty enough when she dresses up and she looks great in exercise wear, but her personality doesn't do much for me most of the time. I like my romantic comedy females cuter.

I actually found myself liking the villain but never quite accepted him as a possible match for Audrey. Paul Greene was quite charming and he could be likable, even if I was rooting for the town to stay the same.

It was a beautiful town both inside the buildings and out, with nice people, and the snow was nice. I only like snow when it is on a TV screen or in a photo or decorations. The overhead shots with the mountains were great.

It was fun watching the process of saving the town, even if that didn't necessarily mean what we all hoped for. This movie pretty much sticks to the formula.

Some of the music was good but I definitely didn't care for the so-called Christmas music in Audrey's exercise classes. Even if it was a classic song, anything in that class was not my idea of good music and definitely not at Christmas.

There is one cute scene with a little boy who has two lines.

Is this family friendly? I didn't see anything wrong. CBS aired two movies in this genre last year and both were TV-G. I don't see why this one couldn't have been as well, though one married couple was talking about what they had to do to have a baby, and maybe Audrey doing amazing things with her body bordered on naughty. The woman is quite flexible.

Can I recommend this movie? If you just want to watch movies like this over and over, probably, but I can't say for sure this was as good as some others. If you get tired of them and want to choose a few, maybe not this one. It just depends on the kind of woman you're looking for.

I was so excited for this movie as a Paul Greene fan, he's so charming, talented and always fun to watch. He had such amazing chemistry with the darling Amanda Kloots!! This movie is Amanda's movie debut, she also serves as co writer and producer. She/Her character have such great energy and is beyond gorgeous. Amanda and Paul looked like they were having an absolute blast filming this and it was just as fun to watch as a viewer. I love that fitness was at the forefront and of course a love triangle. There's so much humor, love, festivity and of course all the feels. Loved Paul Greene and Amanda Kloots together on a major network broadcast movie, such a fun film!

Save the fitness center from big time developer. Audrey flees NYC after a boyfriend fight and failed business. The boyfriend won't give up and dangles a good job opportunity back in NY. The lead couple crashes into each other and they exchange unpleasantries. Of course, he is the developer's son. Though the fundraiser project is a bit on the unusual side.

Amanda Kloots brings a lot of energy, maybe a bit too much, to the part of Audrey. She and Paul Greene have good chemistry, but the sparring part of the relationship continues past halfway in the movie. The other acting is good. The script is decent with some funny moments even if most of it is filled with the usual Christmas activities and contests and too much of the checklist "you like him".

Overall, this story is more of the usual stuff with no great highs or lows or surprises. It appeared originally in primetime on a legacy network where it is a little different from their norm, but it would get totally lost amid all the similar movies shown on the 24/7 Christmas movie networks like Hallmark and Lifetime.

I suggested to my wife we watch this together and share a little holiday romantic time. How bad could it be? Thirty minutes into it she asks "Isn't there a football game on?" Channel changed. We knew it was going to be cheesy and that is what you expect in a Hallmark style holiday movie. But, this was stale even for the tried and true 'finding love at Christmas' formula. Perhaps, the writers should try something a little different? This plot has been tried in so many variations that it is hard to create anything original or fresh. On the bright side, the venue looked great. I find it hard to believe that it wasn't a tourist destination already.
