Staging Christmas

Lead actress is over acting - happy - merry - disappointed - whatever the mood. Lead actor is lacking expression.

I understand it's suppose to be a corny Christmas movie, but the acting is so poor. George and the other girl, from Sabrina the Teenage Witch, are good actors. So it was so surprising that they fell flat. There just wasn't chemistry or a spark between them. The little girl was the best actor out of the entire movie.

It just didn't play on my heartstrings as much as I expected it to be. The eye contact and connection seemed forced and not real.

I love George Stults, but this is getting deleted from my DVR.

When I first read some of the reviews about how bad the acting was, I thought people were just being overly critical/mean. They WEREN'T. The lead actress came across as incredibly fake. She talked so slowly and sounded like she was speaking to a five year old every time she opened her mouth. It was very hard to watch and incredibly annoying. He wasn't much better.

Leading actor could not convince me he was the character for any amount of time during the movie and it was incredibly distracting. The female lead was a little better. Their chemistry seemed nonexistent during most of the movie with occasional times where you could see possibilities. I watched the whole movie & literally cringed through some of the lead actors scenes. The supporting actors were much better than the leads across the board. The generous 5/10 is for a decent story & because I'm a sucker for Christmas movies.

First off the two leads had absolutely no chemistry but it wasn't as bad as Solei's performance. All the non stop smiling (I bet she smiled in her sleep) to the constant talking to people as if she was talking to a child wasn't half as bad as the non stop head tilting. Watching the movie all I could think about was the fact that she kept tilting her head to one side. She barely kept her head straight. Am I the only person who noticed that? I could not stand it. I almost didn't finish the movie. On a more positive note the girl that played the daughter was adorable and so sweet. The thing I loved most though was the same relationship of the lead guy's sister. I love that it was not only put into a tv movie but a family Christmas movie. Well done lifetime for doing that.
