Christmas at the Chalet

Okay one to watch. I do love Teri Hatcher and she was fun to watch. Typical characters. Worldly French mother, spoiled rich son, obnoxious ex hubby. The scenery was absolutely stunning. Quite amazing how a mother and son along with a couple chalet girls run that whole place. And that "suite" in the staff quarters!!! Looked better than her ex hubby's room! I do have one burning question. How does one fit 5 different complete color coordinated ski outfits into that one small suitcase she brought with her? And a plethora of sweaters and dresses too. She needed to do a video on how to pack a suitcase in the show. 🤣

Teri Hatcher, 61, is another of the older actresses, and deservedly so, to get to be her bubbly cheerful entertainment personality in this Lifetime Christmas romantic comedy. As an ex-television celebrity, divorced, and a brand new influencer, Teri goes to Aspen invited by her son for Christmas where he is collaborating with a company to create a limited-edition snowboard product. Her ex-husband with a younger woman has also decided to go to Aspen for his turn to spend time with his son. Through a last minute issue at the Chalet, Teri finds herself having to literally work through a problem when she arrives, accomplished with style and with appropriate editing. This rom-com script appears to distinguish itself from other good-feel movies by avoiding the typical stereotypical situations found in most rom-com movies and instead focuses on Teri's character's rather awkward situation that blends well with the movie. With good editing, this movie has good pacing, strikes a good balance of comedy and drama. At the same time, however, the movie struggles to find a crisp emotional tone and an almost but not excellent presentation of authenticity of the required dramatic conflict scene for this genre that occurs in the chalet's restaurant and the climax when it comes to the skiing outing. An entertaining, light-hearted movie that attempts something different but one that doesn't quite succeed.

I like it. The motives are few , a love story film offering the steps of real mature people being not only rare but more attractive . And Teri Hatcher did a beautiful job as Lexi, like William deVry. A real good point for Patty Alan, in same measure.

It is just a seductive film about options, illusions, choices and something easy - not spo correct- defined as life lessons.

A film about comunication, need of love and truths changing, in profound sense, everything.

Temptiing to define it as special.

In fact, a confirmation for 50 years age audience of basic, lived and strong realities and way to accept they in real sense.

I'm going to be honest, the whole reason I considered watching this was Teri Thatcher. During the summer, I watched Lois and Clark: The Adventures of Superman and I really enjoyed it, even though I haven't finished it yet. She is an amazing actress, which still holds up in this movie. As for this movie, it's not the best Christmas one I've seen. It actually just the same as this 2022 Lindsay Lohan Christmas movie I watch first. But trust me, I've seen ones that I've had to pause for a moment multiple times because it was that painful to watch. While I probably wouldn't watch this a second time, it still wasn't that bad.

I really enjoyed this Christmas movie on LIfetime. Teri Hatcher is so funny and she is still so beautiful. The entire cast did a great job on this show. I thought that the story was creative and really enjoyed that it was set in todays time with the live videos and social media. I laughed out loud several times, mainly because of Terri. She is perfect for CHristmas movies and I hope that she does more to come. As an avid christmas movie watcher for the past 40 years, I found this one to stand up high to all the others that are played on the different channels. Also, the girls working at the chalet were wonderful actresses that are talented and were great assets to the show. Thank you!
