The March Sisters at Christmas

Loosely based on Alcott's "Little Women", the March Sister's are of course Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy and in this story they are trying to stop their parents from selling their family home, with all the trouble of boys to contend with at the same time.

I like the fact that there is more than one story going on, even if some outshine the others, but it makes a change for a Christmas film to have a different formula, other than boy meets girl!

As a writer myself, I enjoy that element of the story, but the character of Jo is played as a very mean, quite b*tchy and bossy cow, who's gobby loudness gets a bit much at times. The other three seem to fit the parts well though.

I'm not sure why Lex Luther lives next door, but the handsome Teddy and Marcus help the story if you enjoy some man candy.

Another enjoyable and easy to watch film.

This is the worst story of the Little Women series, it is more like a reboot of the Brady Bunch, it lacks the original time period, wonderful costumes and the original storylines, it would be similar to making Gone With The Wind during the Korean War, it just does not work for me, Sorry, but filmmakers just can't make good movies anymore. Maybe the future films may make some back to basic films, we will have to wait and see.

The acting is horrible, for one. Let's start there. At least for 3 out of 4 of our main actresses.

The storyline is chaotic. Which understandably makes sense because that's basically the plot, but it's done super messy. Very rushed. The arguing is literally over petty little things that could very well be spectacular if translated well to the viewers, but since the acting is so bad it just leaves you wondering, "what the hell is going on?" Clocked out at 44:07 just couldn't do more.

Its hard to screw up a movie when the template is "Little Women" but they sure do come close. Its is a modern adaption and I can see the reasoning for doing this. It has been done several by theatrical films (Clueless was an adaption of Emma) however this TV-movie fails on several fronts.

In this film all these "Little Women" are in their 20's and still live at home. In this adaption all of the "March Women" go bonkers when "Mom Decides to sell the family home". What was strange was the script has them still acting with the maturity of JR HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS instead of 20 something women.

This production should have had Joe a lesbian and her editor a woman.

If you never read "Little Women" shame on you. If you have then you will see how this movie fails.

If you never read or seen "Little Women" then chances are you might like this. Plus chances are you also love "The Kardashians"

I gave this 7 stars because I liked it better than the typical Hallmark Channel movies. It was different and very likable. The plot was charming. The sisters were charming, even if they couldn't get along. The men were charming as well, including the older one. This movie warmed my heart and kept me interested. At first, I thought it was going to be lame, but it got much better. It's worth a viewing! It might be one of my faves because of the home and relationship improvements.
