Christmas in Carolina

Good family scenes in a BEAUTIFUL middle class family. Very loving. A movie WHERE NO BLACK PERSON DIES OR LOSES A JOB.! UPBEAT. The best of it does happen at the family home! The writer and the producers are young. Just know Spielberg started writing for tv. Keep on keeping on!

What can be said about this one. The story is unrealistic and out of touch. The acting is bad and stiff. The sound is bad, the lighting is bad, the comedy is bad. Honestly this is the worst movie I've ever sat through. I guess they thought getting Laura and Eddie from Family matters was a draw so they put them on the advertisement and feature them in a few scenes and for some reason play they as brother and sister, I guess because of there past related roles, when they act more like husband and wife. The shirt 75 min run time is filled with about 30 minutes of musical montages where I guess they couldn't think of any dialogue. The funniest of these is watching several characters planning to wrap a gift for 5 minutes.

This is a poor attempt at a bad movie. I would put this up against any of the famous bad movies and likely win.

The writing is uneven, the cinematography is odd (close-ups of wine glasses and barbells; camera not in line with the actor's eyes so it looks like he's looking elsewhere), and there are numerous montages that last way too long of actions to music without dialogue. And so much doesn't make sense! Don't bother rewinding, thinking you missed something; any background, relevant part, or connecting scenes aren't there. For example, Elle is missing, and the brothers leave to find her. The next scene, it's the next day, and she's in the house, like she never left, asking for a ride to the airport, and Wesley, who was out looking for her, opens the front door dressed in a sharp red suit (not what he left dressed in). If what I wrote doesn't make sense, understand that's how I felt most of the movie. I enjoyed family interactions and some of the actors, and those are the only redeeming factors of this movie.

The acting is not very good or off. T It is not realistic and not natural but thats because of the acting. The storyline seems rushed. It wasn't a Hallmark movie or some of the seasoned Christmas movies but I get the meaning. I see what the storyline is trying to say. Nothing is perfect. All in all if you love different types of Christmas movies like I love Christmas movies you will most likely like this movie. I stumbled on this movie on Tubi and I thought I would give it a look and I am glad I did. It wasn't the greatest movie but a good meaningful movie. I hope whoever reads this review enjoys the movie.

The main character, Elle was a mean b*tch . She was mean for no reason and the acting was terrible. I tried so hard to enjoy it, but I could not get past this character.
