Sappy Holiday

Two very appealing leads make this movie special, this chemistry evident early in the film. Joy learns that her boyfriend will be proposing marriage over Christmas after only a couple of months of dating. He's an anesthesiologist, nice looking, and very practical. She drives up to Vermont to meet his parents and his brother, but she's derailed by a snowstorm and car trouble. Fortunately, a maple farmer picks her up and takes her to the family farm.

Without spilling details, let me just say what anyone watching will already know: that she has a wonderful time with them and learns more truths about herself.

Nothing is forced in this film; it evolves naturally. And it is lovely. Not perfect, but very pleasing.

I did not have any expectations for this movie when I stumbled upon it while channel surfing. I noticed it had just started and I had missed about 5 minutes. So I paused for 5 minutes or so to check it out.

I found the characters and the story so compelling, I ended up watching the entire movie. To be honest, the plot didn't seem plausible. It's about a maple syrup farm and farmer - so I totally expected it to be boring. I was wrong! The characters, the dialogue, and the locations worked well together. I learned about making syrup.😊

This was a good movie that lived up to its name. It was sappy but in a good way. I'm happy that I stumbled upon it. I would watch it again. I thought it was refreshing.

All was good until the end.

It was heartwarming and lovng.

I love Romantic Comedies!

I loved the concept!

This was truly "Sappy." It definitely gives you warm Family Christmas vibes.

I see a lot of these Christmas stories are less and less about the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. That's disappointing.

Christmas means so much more than what the secular media has commercialized it to be.

I now watch just for the story line, because I love romance.

Thank God there are movies out there that include the Savior, Jesus Christ.

Jesus is the reason for the season.

What a missed opportunity not to have a beautiful Nativity at the end.

A YouTube reviewer recommended this movie Sappy Holiday and I am so glad they did! All but one of the actors was new to me, but I loved them all. The Main Actor playing James was in another favorite movie of mine from last Christmas called "The Great Christmas Switch", and he is good in both movies.

This script was pretty familiar, but the cast was so good and lovable that you can overlook the fact that you have seen some of these elements before. The overbearing boyfriend, with the condescending family VS the sweet new wonderful guy and his down to earth welcoming family.

It was a pleasure to spend time with these characters!!

If the actors were hoping a lively script would redeem their inability to competently convey any emotion on screen, they would be severely disappointed. The fact that this was even made is an offence to cinema. Like most TV movies, it is transparent in its plot, predictable to the nth degree. The only positive is that it's the first time I've seen a film set predominantly at a maple syrup farm. Kudos on that one. The only inspiration this film offers is that it makes one wonder about the welfare of the actors who partake - either they are doing so against their will or they are so desperate in their pursuit of a career that they plunge to these depths voluntarily - which would terrify even the most ardent supporter of the cinematic arts.
