Furry Little Christmas

So much going wrong for it to be enjoyable - and I have no issue with low-budget movies.

• the music was so loud you couldn't hear most of the dialogue
• there were bizarre editing choices during conversations (the scene where they meet the grandfather made me feel unwell)
• there's a "small town" setting with the largest, most garish cabins I've seen and people pretending they're "rural"
• the male lead kept squinting like he was either high on set or told to do his best Zoolander impression
• the plot a) tells instead of shows and b) has the female lead to succumb to the pressure of her father and new boyfriend

We enjoy wholesome, cheesy movies, but this was actually just bad in too many ways to excuse.

I have a five minute rule for rubbish movies; if it has annoyed me within 5 minutes, I dump it. However I found plot sweet, the female vet delightfully upbeat despite a tragic past and the support cast didn't jar at all.

I thought it was a nice and sweet movie. The plot was close to another Christmas movie, however, the differences were enough. The only problem was the music was too loud thru most of the show which made the dialog difficult to hear.

The sound was so bad, it was very distracting. The levels were off, there was random echoing, some random mic bangs, loud music, low dialogue, etc. Also the story dragged a bit. About halfway through i was looking at my watch thinking "how could there be more".

The snow is very foamy, ha. Which is fair enough, gotta do what you gotta do, it was more amusing than distracting.

Good acting though at least. And cute kid.

Its decent for background watching while doing something else.

I feel bad giving it a rating. Mostly because it wouldnt be very high. And its cute enough for what it is.

Always happy to see pups as well.

I'm not going to put a rating on this review; it wouldn't be fair because I fast forwarded through a lot of it. The roller skating scene was symbolic of what was missing. People. Reminds me of some of the Christmas movies of the 2020 Christmas season. Walking empty sidewalks in the downtown shopping center. The plop was traditional, but it takes place in a ghost town. Sorta like a stage play based on four people, but without any supporting townspeople. Like "High Noon" with Gary Cooper. Oops, I just dated myself. Maybe the mistake was to attempt to appear normal, but without backdrop people.
