Mistletoe Mixup

As far as "Hallmark " Christmas movies go, this one is a keeper. Definitely not going to win an academy award, but it's fun! The plot is slightly different than all the rest. Still has the romantic happy ending,as per the usual. I laughed several times. I give it thumbs up.

Cute, corky and funny! What else do you people want? Easy breezy fun Christmas movie to watch. I love Joey Lawrence in anything, plus his brothers? Yes, please!

Mistletoe Mixup, at first glance, is your typical Hallmark/Lifetime/etc. Christmas movie. Pretty lonely girl, handsome lonely guy, beautiful Christmas decorations, lots of snow, another handsome lonely guy.

Wait. What?

The plotline of two brothers competing for the girl is nothing new. We've seen it a million times before. The gimmick here is this, the brothers are being played by real-life brothers, Joey and Matthew Laurence. Although in the hands of some actors, this might have proven a weak premise, but the chemistry between the Laurence brothers is wonderful and carries the movie as a very enjoyable holiday treat.

Evidently this was a labor of love for the entire Laurence family. The character of Grandma was played by Joey and Matthew's real-life mother and while she's not as gifted an actress as her sons, her performance is winsome. Another Laurence brother, Andrew, directed Mistletoe and also appears in it briefly as their brother, Seth.

All in all, i'd definitely recommend Mistletoe Mixup. I don't know if i'm ready to call it a Christmas classic just yet, but it's definitely a fine addition to the Christmas libraries to be shown each season.

Merry Christmas y'all.

Unfair to write I do not like it.

But it seems a good opportunity for Donna Lawrence and her sons to perform together in pretty nice rom com about a young woman , too passionated by her job, her wish near Christmas and the expression of this gesture.

Easy to be seduced by house, humor, rivalry between brothers and the predactibility.

The end is so unrealistic - in fact, forced, than the silence is good option- but the contribution of eccentric grandmother saves a lot from a supperficial, chialdish story.

In short, just nice and few applauses, not only polite, for correct work of Lawrence family.

This is very similar to all of the other holiday TV movies BUT it features the adorable Lawrence brothers and their real life mom. I loved the brother battles. It's much better than the regular holiday movies. It has the predictable mix of snow, holiday decor, holiday magic, attractive people, family and fun. And the predictable ending. Enjoy!
