Candy Coated Christmas

I admitt , I liked it. Sure, a lot of cliches, not the best acting, the dusty recipe of Hallmark romance but few details are real nice and, for me, are the significant ones.

I liked the performance of ree Drummond as Bee, a sort of Santa in other films or a good witch. I liked the pink overcoat . Not last, I liked the fine job of Lee Garlington and Dia Frampton and John McCook.

The chemistry between Noah and Molly remains an enigma for me. Being only a man, not a surprise. The little town celebrating Christmas is a good point and the story of Christmas, each year in Hawaiii sounds reasonable. But the favorit aspect was the room of mother and the blanckets and the toys on shelf and the lights chain .

Sure, many mistakes, sins and errors. But, the last confession who must write for be more than indulgent with this film is simple and too personal : I love mint.

Gag-worthy in all respects. Pie-faced Ree Drummond, the phony "pioneer woman" from Food Network makes her "acting" debut in this wretched concoction that must be aimed at moribund residents in nursing homes who can't get out of the TV room. They don't deserve it.

I love all cheesy, predictable Christmas movies. But this one is awful. The leading lady is such a spoiled brat but then magically had a personality transplant. Ree Drummond also cannot act. I love her cooking shows but her "acting" (if you can call it that) is so wooden and unreal. I don't recommend, i was quite painful to watch 😕

Though the story seemed good on paper, the bad acting and the awkward execution were two elements for disaster. They were just too obvious to ignore. Plus, everyone in that town were too mean to the main girl who was ignorant and spoiled, yes, but not that bad of a character to be treated that way.

Well, chances are that if you, like I did, thought that this 2021 Christmas movie titled "Candy Coated Christmas" was going to be a generic run-of-the-mill Christmas movie, then you are right on the dot.

Yeah, this is one of those sappy, cheesy romantic Christmas movies that appeals to those hopelessly gone in a romantic notion. While for the rest of us, this was a semi-watchable, albeit insanely generic and predictable Christmas movie.

The storyline told in "Candy Coated Christmas", as written by Ellie Kanner, Joey Plager and Alex Yonks, was just one that was riding high on every single cheesy Christmas trope that exists out there. So if you enjoy the sappy romantic Christmas movies, then director Ellie Kanner delivers a movie that will appeal to you here.

I wasn't particularly impressed, nor entertained by what the writers delivered in "Candy Coated Christmas". In fact, I actually dozed off twice and was in dreamland twice throughout the course of the movie. I woke up with an unknown amount of minutes having passed, and had no problems catching up on the story.

The acting in the movie was adequate, I will say that much. I wasn't familiar with the cast here, except for John McCook. It was a shame that Jae Suh Park didn't have a larger role to play in the movie though.

"Candy Coated Christmas" is not a movie that I will recommend, especially not since there are far better Christmas movies out there, even in the sappy romantic end of the genre.

My rating of "Candy Coated Christmas" lands on a three out of ten stars.
