The Christmas Gift

It's not a mystery.

its not an 'investigative' movie

Its pretty boring

No humor, no suspense, so strong antagonist, some of the actors were reading their lines off cue cards in front of them it seemed

It was clean, no drugs, no smoking, no cussing

So terribly written, then I realised it's a chick flick written by men. Women don't speak to each other like that - it's weird. The movie is weird.

The poor writing flows into unconvincing acting, and it's just so awkward to watch.

I don't expect much from holiday movies, yet this one disappointed me. It's a cute story based on real-life events, but unfortunately also dull. Not much is happening, the pace is very slow, and the chemistry between the leads wasn't there either. I can live with clichés in Christmas movies, but this one missed some spark that would make up for them.

Anyone who is negative about this movie clearly has no heart. Do yourself a favor & give it a try for yourself because everyone has an opinion. Remember if everyone liked the same type of movie we would not have the variety we have to choose from. Anyone who likes any Hallmark channel, UPTV, or Holiday movies will enjoy this movie.

The characters in this movie are fairly predictable and the movie would be much shorter if the actors picked up their queues. You could drive a truck through some of the pauses between the lines of dialogue.
