A Perfect Christmas Pairing

This was terrible. Poor story, with bad actors and no chemistry between cast. Most of the story didn't make sense. Many parts of the story I am unsure what they had to do with the story and the issues that arose were resolved in matters of minutes. Nothing pressed the story forward. Worst of all, the a story about finding oneself in the old family traditions and the family traditions were glossed over and really lame. Like tossing corks in a bucket to bingo. Tradition says you get to do something first but they never showed them doing any of those prizes. It was just flat out bad. I do not recommend.

This is a bad movie, really bad, but fun bad in a lot of ways. I'm only writing this review to point out this movie was not made by Hallmark, and is not distributed by Hallmark, many reviewers are saying that it is, even though it is not. I'm not trying to defend this movie in any way, although I give it 2 stars because even though its terrible it has some laugh out loud funny moment. This movie proves how much effort hallmark actually does put into their movies. This makes hallmark movies look well thought out and polished. I only watched this film because it was filmed in my community and there's no other reason to watch it.

A very horrible and cringy Christmas movie with no likable characters. Not only were the characters not likable but they were unrealistic and unbelievable. It followed the formula of the typical Hallmark Christmas films but added more cheesiness if that was possible. I forced myself to watch the entire movie and regreted every moment. I am now giving up on PG rated Christmas movies. Tired of the same old Christmas movies with the same actors, you seen one, you seen them all. How about some fresh ideas and better actors. Christmas movies do not have to be unrealistic. If you happen to be scrolling for a good Christmas movie to watch I recommend that you bypass this one. 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽

Another reviewer (that I agreed with) asked what is going on at Hallmark ? I would ask the same. The quality of acting, storyline and scripting has been really dire in their recent offerings. Since lockdown actually - is their a connection ? The stories are lame with just a lot of piano playing background noise. This particular one has a storyline all over the place, and the acting was amateurish. I know actors need to get ecperience, but please bring back some of the old stalwarts who made Hallmark a joy to watch. Huge gaps in conversation were filled with a lot of ridiculous false laughing. The woman playing the part of the OTT potential buyer needs to go back to drama school.

No, this was a definite Christmas turkey.

I don't know what I just watched. I'm positive the two leads didn't have any sort of chemistry test before they were cast. The male lead looks like a guy who you'd keep your drink covered around at a bar. Throughout the "film", I kept checking to make sure I wasn't accidentally watching at 0.75x speed. At about the halfway mark, despite being by myself, I said "wait, is this Mormon?" out loud because that's the only thing that would make any sense. The two best things about this "movie": 1) the completely OTT realtor (? Is that what she was?) who alludes to her lactose-induced flatulence with a guy she just met at a coffee shop, and; 2) the aunt and uncle who I'm positive slammed back at least 3 shots of tequila a few minutes prior to filming each of their scenes. I genuinely laughed out loud multiple times because it felt like I was having a waking stress dream. The fact that multiple people watched this and went "yep! Looks good! Print!" is just amazing. The cherry on top was that this contains what is definitely the #1 most awkward, stiffest, driest kiss in the history of Hallmark movies.
