A Heidelberg Holiday (2023 TV Movie)
5/10
Ugly American even if she is pretty
14 December 2023
In the beginning, Heidi is the typical American who is too aggressive for most Europeans. Arrogant, demanding and pushy. After a while she softens even though she still has a fair amount of energy.

The story is a bit different from the crowd even though it follows the basic flow of most Christmas movies where the two romantic leads are thrown together for a time and develop a relationship. There are no great highs or lows.

The acting is OK. The dialogue has good moments but otherwise is bland. The leads have some chemistry but nothing special.

A big draw of this movie for many will be the scenery and traditions. There is an amazing castle and views of the city from what seems to be miles above but probably only a few stories.

I often say that these movies often have trouble with realism. This one pushed it too far as far as the conflict and solution.
