Christmas at the Chateau

While there are actors, writers, directors, producers, who are rejected for far better scripts, acting, and production value, these drecks got PAID FOR THIS? And Showtime is paying to air it?

Come on Man! Women are not this stupid and so desperately in need of romance to waste their time on this!

This movie was not good. The writing was atrocious, the editing was awful, and the story line was choppy. Things were happening but not explained. I'm not a Banker or Hedge-fund manager so I didn't understand exactly what happened to her money except that it was stolen.

This has some of the most laughably bad lighting and editing I've ever seen in a commercially released movie. In more than one scene the light completely changes from one POV to the next. One scene in particular stands out as a clunker: the bank guy and his fat buddy are in his office. The one guy is sitting. Then it cuts to show the guy walking to the chair they just showed him seated in! And the other guy is doing something like they didn't even know they had started rolling.!!! Just laughably bad and edited by someone who apparently had no concept of what editing involved or apparently had never seen a film before.

There is nothing good to say about this movie - poor writing, stilted acting, unlikable characters and muddled direction - I could not stand to watch it to the end.

I wanted to watch a cozy christmas movie and I thought I was getting that but the whole entire movie was pretty bad. The editing was horrific, there were scenes that were dubbed, strange cuts that would appear that had nothing to do with the current scene, and lastly, bad acting. I think Hallmark or Lifetime does a better job for sure and that is saying a lot! And the story...omg. It didn't make sense, I didn't like the ending, it didn't make sense about how they had to save the "Shakespeare Chateau". I felt the characters needed to make amends clearly before they would reach a resolution, which was choppy at best...no way would I or anyone would "fall in love" with someone after they stole their money. I just don't get it. Overall, I was entertained but let down by the way it ended, but my boyfriend and I laughed throughout because of how bad it was, we both agreed it was like watching a student film. Anyway, I'd skip it, and watch something else.
