Christmas on Duty

I found this movie to be so cute and entertaining. I really liked the military angle, I thought it was super unique and the writer had some really creative takes on how to make this cute and fun for the holiday season. Also the leads were great together! Definitely recommend for a sweet, feel good holiday film!

That tiny little female versus a 6 foot ripped male - what a joke. Their competition does a disservice to the USA military. The leads have no chemistry, and her add on best friend with the coiffed hair and perfect makeup doesn't help.

The only good thing about this movie is the service to military families.

CHRISTMAS ON DUTY I Lazy, uninspired and predictable holiday rom-com, Christmas On Duty struggles to be cute or romantic, and everything just flows way too easy for our uninteresting couple. Jake Van Wagoner could have had his eyes closed directing the film. Parker Young who at least has some decent gigs to his credit gives it a little life but Janel Parrish is rather yawn inducing as the lead. V.

Two of my favorite Christmas movies are Operation Christmas and Holiday for Heroes. This is not either one of those. It is a kind of counterpoint to them in that it draws on the sentimental desire for military kids to have a good Christmas, but in a goofy way.

I don't think any viewer expected any surprises. You know things won't go smoothly.

This really isn't my kind of Christmas movie, but I thought it achieved what it set out to do. I especially didn't like that both leads started out unlikeable especially Blair. This movie falls into the pitfall of so many that start out that way because Blair became likeable suddenly not gradually.

The acting is about right for this kind of humor. Likewise the dialogue. Did the leads have chemistry? I didn't really see it as it took too long for the characters to bridge their gap and their rivalry had an edge to it.

And it dosnt improve. Its just acting by numbers. Your school kids could do better. But its hallmark, they should be re titled to boremark. Its o.k if you dont value your time and want to get drunk watching it, because thatll be the only time its bareable. Poor writing, casting, acting, direction. Its as though its a training school of trying to learn how to do things correctly. And this one failed. Anyone who scored it over 2 or 3 are friends and family, or desperate cheese lovers.
