Christmas Coupon

I tried several times to write this review but it's really just that bad. The "acting" often consists of a person flatly reading their line then making an appropriate facial expression to show emotion. The audio is echoing and the lighting is uneven both obviously due to low production skills and not a broadcast problem. The makeup and hair look like they were done by a 14 year old girl who was probably the little sister of the 16 year old they hired as a director. I suspect the director only got the job because his high school production of Midsummer Night's Dream wasn't horrible.

This isn't even fun bad, it's uncomfortably, embarrassingly, and in some cases, rudely bad. If you feel the need to watch just to see this train wreck you'll see all you need to in the first 15 minutes.

If I could give 1/2 a star I would. If you're looking for a god Christmas movie do not stop here. The makeup reminds me of the 1960's, the bad acting, bad makeup, clothes, hair....I could go on forever. The actresses are too old for the parts they are playing, The actress playing Allie,should have been the Mom. Lousy dialogue, characters, script. Save the frustration, drink the wine and watch something else. You will never get the time back you wasted watching this movie.

One reviewer calls you a POS for not liking the movie. Talks about the wonderful casting and acting. Thank God she's not a casting director.

There is no cohesiveness in the plot line.

Makeup & Wardrobe makes the women look trashy. The inch long eyelashes. Then it happened. The female MC shows up in the skin tight red, whatever you call that thing.

Seriously, this is some of the worst acting I've seen. Unfortunately none of them will ever be good at their craft. In their defense though it's hard to make good of a lousy script and terrible directing.

Poor production values: lighting sound wardrobe.

This is just an all around bad movie. Redeeming value? The male MC is almost hot.

Just imagine high school kids caught a school play on camera...... That's pretty much this movie. I did read that the lead actors got together in real life so hopefully something good came from this. Congrats

While this is I'm sure billed as a family friendly romance, it has bad acting, writing, directing, "soundtrack" (songs), costumes, and hair/makeup. Perhaps its geared for a much younger tween/teen audience, I highly doubt it. The dialogue is stilted, the makeup is caked on, there are at least 4 cold-shoulder looks on one woman, I'm surprised the last scene didn't have one as well. And the wardrobe malfunctions are here too! And this is the first movie I've scene where an Indian actor plays an NHL agent. The houses are echo-y, in fact the best scenes are the skating ones... hairstyles are under hats, sometimes its a blizzard so no one can see, and the voice overs! Oh my. I'd say have plenty of wine or beers when watching this one. And there's plenty of real life drama associated with this film, but google for a bit more on that. All I can say is that this was free. I don't necessarily wish my time back, but now am planning on writing my own local (not-really a) Hallmark movie too!
