Review by jromanbaker

I enjoy Hallmark films and to relax I find them harmless fun, and some are better than others. But in this one I found an elderly man sitting around a family table, and I endured for as long as I could his Christmas Cracker preachiness. I did not expect King's College Cambridge rendering of Christmas traditional Carols, but I hated the souping up of ' Come All Ye Faithful ' and other perennials, and the banality of its musical quality appalled me. The film showed a town that I would hate to live in, and I felt so claustrophobic with the no spoiler plot proceedings that I turned it off. The acting was mediocre, and so was the filming. It seemed drained of life and colour, but despite this failure of any cinematic value I hope that the next Hallmark film I see will return to something at least akin to life.
