One Starry Christmas

Totally cute... No matter how cliché these "sugar water" novels are, here the country soundtrack adds an extra touch, and everything is very cute and pleasant, even though it is totally predictable ... Cute...

What a wonderful Christmas Hallmark movie. Great scenes, acting and western theme. The horseback riding made the movie even more exciting. And I especially love how Bull sang such a beautiful song. Someone should give him a singing contract. Keep making more of these joyful movies with love and happy endings. And thanks for keeping the music off when the actors are speaking, so one can hear every word clearly. I would have liked Holly to act more natural and not perpetually smile throughout, however.

I loved this magical Hallmark movie and gave it a 6. It would have been a higher rating if Holly did not overact and also come on too strongly with Luke when she was engaged. The parents were delightful in this movie. Wonder where Holly and Luke will live after they marry, since they both have jobs in different states.

The movie definitely had some issues that others have addressed -- such as the problem of Chicago versus Texas in the future. Whether the future works out for the two or not, the best thing I took from the movie was it made her admit to what she really wanted -- a relationship more like her parents. Where the spouse or significant other was of major importantance. Making her realize how ridiculous her "boyfriend" was/is is a worthwhile outcome for the movie, whether she ends up with the cowboy or just an awareness of what she really needs and wants.

Seeing how totally inconsiderate the boyfriend is and how totally "unaware" he is of a girl he has supposedly been with for 3 years made it nice to see her break up with him. Would have been even better if she had turned him down in front of the crowd, but her character was apparently too nice to do that -- even though he was NOT too nice to do it in the first place. All these movies tend to have a ridiculous "boyfriend" who is jerk or just not a right fit, but this guy was a complete piece of crap. Everything was about him and what he wanted and when he wanted it. Definitely needed a major smackdown.

I fundamentally agree with all the negative comments made in the reviews and posts about this movie. The plot is ridiculous. The Characters are idiotic. To call the movie 1 dimensional over states it depth. The misspelling of congratulations is classic. The girl falling for the cowboy who understands her with whom she has NOTHING in common. The jerk of the guy who wants to marry her. Everyone, everyone, knows how it is going to end. (I do admit there was one good twist on that, the only original thought in the movie).

However, I do say that I enjoyed it the first time I watched it. It is a sappy Christmas movie. If you can laugh at all the stupidity you will enjoy it. It has some cute scenes and the characters are kind of cute in their own way. If you expect Casablanca, it is not here. But if you want to watch a Christmas movie and have literally nothing better to do, you might enjoy.

I thought this movie was very sweet. You go to Hallmark for 'feel-good & good-clean fun'! Not usually crazy plots, twists, and off your seat surprises!

My family and I have had quite the last few years of health battles. And all seemingly, otherwise, very heathy and strong; even educators or professionals within our given fields, too. From my massive stroke, to my younger sister's breast cancer, to saying goodbye to two of my favorite strong and fierce role models...both of my grandmas; and many more...It's been a wild and scary ride for us all. *Needless to say, I could use a little calm, sweet, Christmas magic, and sure...even perhaps a little predictable.

I liked. And it's these very kind of moments and movies, I look forward to once this time of year. So, enjoy! It's not trying hard or complicated...it's just sweet.
