A Match Made at Christmas

There was zero connection between the leads and too many red flags already. It really was painful to watch so I had to accelerate the speed of the movie and skip some parts so it ends quicker. The girl was nice but the main character was just too rude and wooden. Like, come on, he didn't have to be super nice to everyone, but just some basic politeness and not being a douchebag, please.

Also it's suspicious to see so many 10* reviews, especially considering that almost for all of these commenters it's an only review hmmmm

All in all, would NOT recommend and if you think the main male character's attitude is ok and romantic I'v got some bad news for you (and better run it by your psychologist)

A Match Made At Christmas starring Micah Lynn Hanson and Tim Llewellyn. This was a cozy Christmas movie but could have been so much better.

Holly, a Laura Branigan-esque resemblance, even had a scene with an off the shoulder sweater, was sweet running around trying to please everybody.

But Chris temporarily in town with a backstory of family and job issues, I though played a little too stern, too stiff to the point of appearing disturbed. It was definitely not love at first sight. At least not for him. It was more like clash of the titans.

Lori, the mother played by actress Shannon Dowling looked too young and amazing to have a child Holly's age. She was the level-head, the shoulder everyone leaned on.

The thing that wowed me was the beauty of the music. And I mean throughout the movie. The entire score. Hats off to Tyler Michael Smith for doing an amazing job. Typically, these Christmas movies have these flowing, magical soundtracks particularly the opening scenes and moments of reckoning.

This one caught my attention throughout. Wouldn't mind these sounds piping throughout the house while we entertained at Christmas (love Christmas songs).

I thought Holly put herself out there too much for Chris and he in turn did not treat her well enough to capture her heart.

The only explanation I could come up with for these two characters getting together in the end of this disaster is Stockholm Syndrome.

The male lead is so angry and verbally abusive to women in this movie. From start to finish, that it's sad they end up together in the end.

I enjoyed the music.

Otherwise I found it difficult to watch because the leads were so unlikable. I mean, the young lady was pleasant but I just could not believe that somebody as intelligent and capable as she was supposed to be would be so completely fixated on falling in love. The male lead was intolerable.

I would not be spoken to the way that young man spoke to women; I hope to raise my daughter so that she would not be spoken to that way. I'm not qualified to say whether it was abusive or simply extremely disrespectful but the red flags are all over the place.

This movie is full of selfish, mean horrible characters who treat the leading female character in a horrible manner. The sister in law is selfish and the male lead is abusive.
