Holidaze

I watch a boatload of holiday movies every year. I very rarely watch this type more than once. This one I have watched a few years in a row now. It is very well done, solid acting, ( that is missing from many of these Harlequin type romance holiday movies). The two leads have charm and acting skills as well and were very believable. You can tell the better written movies after you watch so many bad one. The details were good in this one, the story was solid with no holes, the supporting actors were all good. No one overplayed a type, like "villain, selfish co-worker, small town people". It was not a total cliche. They made the people all more real with a bit of edge. Like the sister says, yeah be like me and move home and be a single mom. Things like that are not in Hallmark movies. Watch this one, it is fun and enjoyable.

For a ex - teenager of "90 s, to see, after few fists of time Jennie Garth in a romantic comedy is itself a prize. Second, to remind the skills of Cameron Matheson to act the same "next door guy" is, in same measure, a good thing. And, not the last, the if about your life is not the worst idea. It is just a Hallmark film, with many sins or virtues of the recipe. Amusing, romantic, dramatic, , it is just the cup of hot cappucino who you expect. And deserves.

The actors in the movie Holidaze, especially Jennie Garth, did a fantastic job, showcasing their talent and skill. It's cute, funny, Christmasy and interesting to watch. It's never boring.

I don't understand why the movie, Holidaze, cannot be watched on the Freeform app, especially during the holidays. The app frequently broadcasts older movies from ABC Family, like Angry Angel another equally good movie which was also broadcasted in ABC Family. I hope the rights holder will allow us to watch the movie again by redistributing it through a streaming app or at least let us rent it. Otherwise, it's lost forever and so many people enjoy it! Just read through the comments on this page.

I have been avoiding this movie each year due to the rather low 5.9 rating. I liked Secret Santa-2003 which also starred Jennie Garth and decided to give this one a try. Very glad I did. Jennie Garth plays a great role as a business woman. It is a fun movie with lots of fun dialogue. The movie is not technically a Christmas movie but it has the feel of a Christmas movie since it centers around Thanksgiving.

This is a film that can't make up its mind if it wants to be a revamped remake of "Groundhog Day" or an attack on corporate America. A high flying corporate executive is sent to her hometown to tear down its Olde Worlde Charme and replace it with a modern hypermarket or some such. Naturally the natives don't like the idea, especially the small shopkeepers.

Lured to the home of the man she left behind, she falls down the stairs in a freak accident, and when she wakes up not only are the two of them married but she has never left.

No sooner has she come round to her new reality, albeit with great difficulty, than she suffers another accident and the process is reversed.

As comedies go, this isn't bad, neither is the soundtrack, and the finale proves that not all capitalists are bad, or maybe that big business needs a woman's touch.
