The Christmas Waltz

One of the better Holiday Hallmark Movies this year. Lacey Chabert and Will Kemp have great chemistry throughout. This is their 2nd movie together and I hope they do more. The movie ended a little abruptly. It needed one last scene to wrap up everything. Overall a good film that will be added to my Christmas Film Rotation. Watch the movie for yourself and then form an opinion.

A Christmas Waltz (2020) -

Although Will Kemp as Roman was very British for a Russian, he was actually quite lovely and charming. Sometimes a Brit in films like these can really stand out as awkward, but he worked nicely, without laying on a cockney or royal accent too thickly.

I also really liked the connection that he made with Lacey Chabert as Avery, although the upsets and walking away all the time got to be a tad boring. But, at least the falling out that always happens was more genuine this time. It was a believable scenario and not just a misheard conversation or a sudden lack of trust. To be fair, she obviously didn't love her fiancé David either.

I honestly wasn't expecting to like this one because the dance ones are usually terrible, but this wasn't at all.

I also liked that the two leads were both capable dancers and it wasn't just bodged and blagged. I've seen so many of these films where "Amazing" and "Professional" dancers perform to save the town, Etc and they look like an old, paraplegic, football player on week one of 'Strictly Come Dancing' (2004-) / 'Dancing With The Stars' (2005-), so it was nice to see that the final result was a show that I would actually be happy to pay to see.

Even the kids were good dancers, I could have easily believed that the stage show element was real footage from an actual paid for performance and the audience was real.

I will definitely watch this one again and hopefully enjoy it as much as I did this time.

7/10.

This has become my favorite movie. It's beautifully written, elegantly filmed, and leaves me with the urge to go out and follow my dream, as Avery did. The story line is simple yet compelling, as two people fall in love as they help each other make their dreams come true. Can't say enough about lovely Lacey Chabert and elegant Will Kemp. What a talented pair, and such wonderful chemistry on screen. The ending is awesome. Can't wait for it to be available on dvd. Thank you Damians, for this thoroughly enjoyable entertainment.

Is there any movie where Lacey isn't perfectly sweet and lovable? She's just so lovely and such a great actress. We liked the story, dancing, acting, and Christmas spirit!! Loved it!!

This movie felt like it was 10 minutes long, I didn't get bored or distracted for a second!

It's as feel-good as a romantic TV movie could get: adorable female lead, simple and predictable story that you know exactly what's going to happen but you want to watch it anyway because of how sweet and cute it is. Only that, for a change, it's done the way it's supposed to be.
