    So disappointing

    I was looking forward to watching this movie. The premise sounded interesting and I love a good Christmas TV movie. Alas the reality of this terrible story line just mad me mad and frustrated. Who writes this tripe???? It's 2017 (when I watched it) and released in 2016 NOT the turn of the century. I'm sorry but I do NOT recommend this movie at all.

    I gave it 2 stars because I do like the actors in it and have seen them in MUCH better productions.

    Not the usual Christmas fluff...

    ...but I like quirky. And the cast performs amazingly in this film, with the added benefit of some zippy dialog. But a special shout-out to Jes Macallan. Don't know if I've ever seen her before, but she does a deft turn as a conflicted sister and her acting is superb.

    "Sister Act of Betrayal"

    Good watch, could watch again, and can recommend.

    It's great to see April Browlby on the screen ("Crazy Meg" from "How I Met Your Mother") and Jes Macallan is excellent, carrying the movie.

    There is plenty of humor and romantic tension leading to contentious drama, but it is a little bland.

    I think the production intended on the hook of "she's gotta get married by Christmas" to land, but it's not exactly reflected in the movie as the main plot point nor an actual character goal.

    The movie has some fun in it though so it might be a "decent curl up with someone and give it a go" night.

    Misogynistic but Humorous

    The concept of the movie is super messed up. A family company passes on to the new HUSBAND of the first daughter to get married...not the first married daughter...her HUSBAND. what century is it again?

    the only saving grace was Jes Macallan because she's awesome and a few good jokes sprinkled in.

    A feel good movie. NOT

    This movie started out so well .. I had high hopes but it just didn't make sense by the end!! I'm giving this 5 stars because it had great acting, I loved the main characters .. I just feel like the script needs a bit of tweaking... Because this just didn't feel like the feel-good-movies I'm used to .. and just when I thought I discovered another TV network to look forward to its movies 🎥

    I really liked the hero and heroine, they had great chemistry. Loved the sisters relationship, because it came off so real.

    I liked the film, I just wish it was better. But maybe that's just me. Take a chance on this movie, you might like it.
