The Art of Christmas

I was hoping this would be better. Plot was pretty good and the acting was fair.

Unfortunately, it was extremely predictable. The storyline with the young girl who's getting bullied had potential, but it fizzled. It was interesting that the leading lady was pretty and the leading man looked more like an average guy next door. No real chemistry between them probably because the acting wasn't very good. Wish they had played up the Grandpa's role a little bit more. I think that would have been fun. He was a character for sure! I will say that the dresses and costumes were really pretty to look at. Very very forgettable movie.

This movie was very hard to watch. I did finish it. The story line was a decent one. The writing felt a little weak at times. The acting was very amateurish. They talked very fast and in choppy sentences. They are older actors so it shouldn't have been this way. They are experienced actors on many different shows. I think my biggest beef was with Reggie ( Darrin Brooks). He's mostly been on soap operas. His acting felt very forced and inauthentic. He was so cringy. Fun fact: He's married to Kelly Kruger (Brit) in this movie. This movie you can pass on. Nothing great to see so you're not missing anything.

7.2 stars.

The theme is mundane. It's about a female artist who finds her true passion for art and children once she is able to find herself. We can't forget there is a man and a lonely little girl in the story who enable her to do just that.

This is an okay movie, nothing really special if I'm being honest, but I've certainly seen much worse. I wasn't disappointed, because my expectations were already pretty limited. Why limited? The low rating for one, and I don't have the time to watch everything these days, so I've been avoiding any movie below 6.2 stars, but some of the reviews got my attention. I thought maybe this will be engaging and fun and I'm trying to see if these really low level films are as bad as people say. When a movie falls below 6.2 stars, it tends to be lackluster, but this is not always the case. Once in a while one of these will surprise you. Unfortunately, 'The Art of Christmas' is not one, however it's also not that bad. Like I said, I've seen a lot worse, so not a total waste of time.

Unlike some of the other reviewers. I kind of liked this one. It had Christmas themes throughout without being overly Christian and its execution. I like the premise of the artist not liking the work and throwing it away she's in someone else finding it and thinking it's beautiful. That's not a spoiler, it's in the description. I also like that the characters are obviously falling for each other without any pretense of starting off in a negative fashion. They obviously have feelings for each other throughout the entire movie and afraid to admit it to one another, either. This is refreshing to me.

Storyline had some potential for a holiday Christmas romance but that's almost all the movie had going for it.

The lead actress is beautiful and the dresses were gorgeous. The young girl that's getting bullied is a phenomenal singer (if it's really her & not voiceover). That's where the positives end for me.

The acting, while not the worst I've ever seen, fell completely flat. I didn't feel an ounce of chemistry between any of the characters. It felt like they were just saying their lines without any real connection or emotion behind them. The movie was just....boring.

I've been trying to give GAC a chance with their movie lineups but the quality of their content is lacking any appeal for me.
