A Star for Christmas

Unless you're into rom-coms or anything chrimbo then avoid. Awful film, nothing to do with the cast they did what they had to do. Briana Evigan the star in "Burning Bright" couldn't even save this. The cheesey ending in the bakery bumped it up a whole star. My wife put it best "That's an hour we'll never get back." Should I tell her it was 90 minutes?

For the cheesemeisters: that ending in the bakery nearly makes it all worth while.

I honestly don't know why I like this movie so much, but I watch it almost every year. It's quirky, odd, and endearing...and the bakery setting is delicious. Yay for cupcakes! I know some say the movie is not very "Christmas-y", but maybe that's one of the reasons I like it. It doesn't take itself too seriously.

Greg Evigan will always be the dude from "BJ and the Bear". That was a TV series that was a ripoff of "Smokey and the Bandit". His TV Legacy continued with the "My Two Dads". Not exactly the best television shows ever made. If those shows were not bad enough he was able to get his daughters Vanessa and Briana in the business. Luckily in this film we get the more talented daughter Briana but they should of cast Vanessa.

In this film a Hollywood film comes to a small town and the big star of the film sweeps a local baker off her feet. Then when things start moving along the movie stars ex-girlfriend gets cast in his film and she is out to get him back at any cost.

One major gripe I also have about this film is the fact it is not really "A Christmas Theme" film. I have a feeling it wasn't originally set during the holidays. There is no "Christmas Feeling" at all to this production.

There is plenty of things to like about this film however the last 20 minutes and the final scene is stupid. Briana is great but she deserves a better role.

If your looking forward to watching a "Christmas Theme" film skip this . If you are looking for something good skip this.

CSPAN has more more entering moments than this film

Whether you find it funny will probably go a long way toward how much you like this movie. I didn't find it funny but then I'm not into that kind of humor.

The love story was cute but predictable. Also, why would Alex fall for Cassie instantly? Because silly humor was the goal, it's hard to judge silly scenes as plot.

Corey Sevier is OK as Alex. Something was off about Briana Evigan, maybe too much just standing there trying to look what? Sweet maybe and later angry. Brooke Burns stole many of the scenes especially ones the ladies were in together. Again is was like Briana was just there and Brooke was the star of this movie. I actually identified more with her than the lead of the movie.

Goof: Cassie sits down holding a tray that's supposed to be hot because she's got potholder gloves on, but she lays the tray directly on her bare legs.

I thought it was really a very good movie. James Welch Henderson Arkansas 10/7/21.
