Boyfriends of Christmas Past

It's interesting that a lot of the bad reviews are comparing this movie to Dickens' A Christmas Carol, which it is loosely based on, when truthfully it should be compared to the Matthew McConaughey movie 'Ghosts of girlfriends past', of which it is very alike. Whilst this isn't quite as good, it's more than acceptable.

The lead actress Catherine Kim is too old for the part and is a fairly modest actor to make up for it. Not a good combo. Great acting could've saved the obvious age difference between the two leads especially up against the vibrant leading man.

The leading man, Raymond Ablack, was unhelpful by being a first rate actor and made the disconnect between the two even more distinct.

The story was benign and writing was fair but uninspired. This all kept it from being a "watch again" for me. Do more with Mr. Ablack, tho, please. He has real star quality and acting chops. Agree with others that he needs a shave, tho.

All in all, blah.

Well, this 2021 Christmas movie was actually a nice take on the classic tale of the ghosts of Christmas past. When I sat down to watch "Boyfriends of Christmas Past" from writer Lisa Parsons and director Don McBrearty, I wasn't sure what I was in for. I only saw the movie's cover, and opted to sit down and watch it.

The storyline was good and enjoyable, and as I mentioned above, it was a nice take on a classic Christmas story, updated to today's society and what not. So yeah, I was definitely genuinely entertained from watching this movie. And it is a movie that I can and will warmly recommend.

The story is about Lauren (played by Catherine Haena Kim) whom is visited by past boyfriends in the days up to Christmas, as she is struggling to realize and see something that is right before her very nose.

"Boyfriends of Christmas Past" was nicely constructed and had a good narrative. And that made for a very wholesome movie. And there certainly was a nice Christmas-feel to the entire movie.

The movie has a good cast ensemble, with the likes of Catherine Haena Kim, Raymond Ablack and Paul Sun-Hyung Lee on the cast list.

My rating of "Boyfriends of Christmas Past" lands on a six out of ten stars. This one is definitely worth the time and effort.

I don't know if marketing people themselves are actually the ones writing these stories or what, but if I have to see one more Hallmark movie about a marketer I'm going to throw my hot chocolate at the screen. I'm sick of movies about people trying to reform workaholics in general. "Oh my gosh y'all look how busy I am!" Too busy to watch Hallmark movies I bet, so have mercy on the rest of us. Just once I want to see some chill people falling in love and enjoying their lives. I would ask what the selfless social worker even saw in her but he was one of those dudes who waits around forever to date a woman by being her "friend," so never mind they deserve each other. Kind of a toxic story, the emotional parts weren't emotional, and the funny parts weren't funny.

I really wanted to love this movie. The actors are good but chemistry is off. He has chemistry bu5 she never exhibits it. Her character never changes. I think she is great actress n I like the movie but maybe they needed another half hour to make it work.

I will watch again but some I will watch over n over this is a once a year movie. I5 never captured Christmas in Homestead or Christmas on my mind or even mistletoe promise.

I like hallmark but there ar3 few holiday classics I will watch redgularly like Rudolph and frosty.

This isn't it. I loved a boyfriend for Christmas but this missed the mark. A shame because everyone was great at their job but I think the script ran out of time they were given.
