A Christmas Angel Match

The premise was solid and the leads were charming and had good chemistry. Some of the other performances might have been slightly wooden, and not everything worked perfectly, but all in all, a pleasant watch with a nice ending. Not sure why some of the other reviews are so negative. I've seen quite a few Hallmark Christmas movies, and I feel like this one fit right in, and was even slightly above average.

If this is Hallmark's attempt at being avant garde, it fails miserably. Talky, boring, and repetitive. Too bad because Ory and Ayres are such good, likable performers. Some of the scenes are so bad they are laughable. But, it's not that funny enough for you to bother with watching it. The new Christmas season kicks off with a resounding thud.

A very refreshing script and a breath of fresh air from all of those washed out storylines of royals/princesses, horrible british accents and made up countries. Some reviews are harsh, but this movie is so heartwarming and fun! And it was written by Meghan Ory herself! You gotta give props for that.. Not every actress is capable of writing a Christmas movie.. I loved how sweet, honest and warm it is. Just an angelic Christmas spirit we all need.

The plus side for this movie is that it wasn't exactly the same old usual stuff. I don't know how closely related it is that it had some weird vibes and not always good ones.

For about half the movie I really did not like Monica. She was way too stuck on herself and a little mean about it which is not a good look for a heavenly angel. Nor did I warm up to Michael for a while. It seemed like he was baiting Monica.

For rating a movie like this, dialogue and chemistry are common factors. Usually good banter between the leads is a plus for both. These two had banter, but until about half way through the movie the banter had a sharp edge to it. That meanness didn't give me a good feel for chemistry. Usually when the chemistry is good, the banter has a fun feel to it,

One thing seemed predictable to me and it did work out that way despite it being perhaps counterintuitive , Other than that, the plot seemed convoluted at times.

When holiday movies pile up and 90% of them seem to be the same old stuff, this movie does offer a nice diversion in that sense, but I thought the divisions where there should have been harmony left me with a bad taste.

Did not like the 2 angels. Especially her character and her acting. Did not like the couple they were trying to help fall in love. I never felt invested in any of them being together.

Awkward dialogues. Boring. And cringe.

I actually muted it halfway through. The 2 dance scenes were the only fun parts.
