Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story

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.

A UK viewer here, so all the excitement and frantic passion about an American football team was lost on someone this side of the pond.

I watched purely because I love seeing Tyler Hynes in action. His previous work has always had cheeky humour with a twinkly eye - what girl wouldn't love that !

This film widely missed the mark. His on screen time was completely overwhelmed by the over acting of the most absurd family, and coupled with a ridiculous storyline you get to the point where you'd rather walk over hot coals than sit through to the end.

His co-star Hunter King never really cut the nustard as a romantic lead. Hynes had far better rapport with other actresses that was more believable in his previous films. It showed that there was no chemistry between these two.

Hopefully Hynes will get more films in the same vein as It Was Always You - because this movie did him no favours at all.

Alana Higman (Hunter King) is a die-hard Kansas City Chiefs fan. Her parents met as kids with their families sitting next to each other at the games. The family even runs a Chiefs shop in their hometown. They are up for the Fan of the Year contest. Director of fan engagement Derrick (Tyler Hynes) is doing the assessment. There is a magic hat.

The most compelling relationship in this movie is the one between Hallmark and the Kansas City Chiefs. The corporate world calls this synergy. I expected more actual Kansas City Chiefs. I was expecting a few high profile players to run into our couple. The players should want that too. As for the couple, I have always liked Hunter King's comedic timing and Tyler Hynes seems perfectly fine although they could try for Niall Cunningham. There are surprisingly a lot of familiar faces in the other roles. I guess everybody needs a paycheck. This is fine Hallmark and maybe more synergy to come.

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).

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.
