Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story

I live in Kansas City and am a Chiefs fan but this was a little much.

It was unrealistic and cheesy at times. There were times the acting was bad. The movie seemed low budget as well.

Stores in the area hyped this movie up so much acting like they were in it and we should watch and it wasn't worth it.

There were times I wanted to turn it off and then kept watching thinking it would get better and it didn't. If the plot was better and it was a generic football team maybe it would have been better?!? Maybe. It just seemed like they were shoving the chiefs down everyone's throat like they need more bandwagon fans.

Many great cast members (not a Hunter King or Chiefs fan) but a really quirky movie that just doesn't come together. Character development is poor, plot murky, and just not fun. The acting is stiff and seems like many actors are just going through the motions. The lone bright spot is Ed Begley Jr as his performance feels real. It seems like Hallmark tried to capitalize on the Chiefs popularity and failed miserably. The on field segment was not believable and the addition of. Jenna Bush Hager was a low point. I'm surprised they didn't try to put Tayor Swift in the movie. (Probably read the script and declined).

Well...I am a Chiefs fan; I am a Hunter King fan, and I am a Tyler Hines fan.

But sorry, this was a dud.

I wish I could just stop there, but alas, I must elaborate.

If you're not a Chiefs fan, I don't know how you make it to the end of such a movie. They really laid it on thick.

I didn't find the chemistry between Hines and King very strong at all. The writing was so-so, and the general plot was a little strange.

I did like the supporting cast, and Ed Begley, Jr. Was pretty good as the crotchety old guy.

I thought it was interesting that there was a scene in which the entire family was all getting hammered on eggnog in a Hallmark movie.

I wish I had better things to say. But I don't.

Nope, nada, boring, silly... sorry but where the heck was Christmas??? I think this movie was dreadful!! Hallmark super hyped it up so we would all watch with anticipation- what a huge fumble! I know many people will roll their eyes with this review but hey, it's my opinion. I thought the actors did a good job with what they had to work with but what really threw me was very early on as the leads were sitting around the fire and at some point they stand up and suddenly hold hands.... Nah, it doesn't happen like that, there was very little build up to produce a hand holding at that point in time. The CGI or whatever it's called was so clearly fake. The fact the lead actress would put so much faith in a hat was nothing short of absurdity, she was ready to throw her potential life partner away over a hat- really? As another reviewer stated, it truly was a bumble and a super duper fumble! I gave it a 6 for the acting, some parts were ok especially with the grandfather, I did find him endearing. Sorry Hallmark, you missed your mark with this one.

I thought this was a cute movie. It's sports themed and I loved the little Easter eggs (Donna Kelce, Andy Reid, and older retired players) that showed up in the movie. It's definitely a hallmark movie with the over the top family always trying to butt in. This movie was a nice departure from the usual 'high powered executive woman comes to a small town to fix something ands falls for a small town guy'.

Overall though it was typical hallmark and still a cute Christmas themed movie, although that was not as big a theme as football was. I'd highly recommend watching the movie especially if you're a woman who likes sports and romance.
