Die Weihnachtskarte

It's a drama with a couple of funny elements. The only thing really funny was the bus driver and the luggage.

Acting was fine, despite how some of the reviews have type cast the main actors

I enjoy watching hall mark style movies from time to time. Nice to get away from rancid language, drugs, pot, violence, sex for a change

This movie does one thing that is different, in every Christmas movie I have seen the antagonist character is caucasian male (more acting jobs for that demographic), THIS christmas movie was not on that PC band wagon.

It's a Christmas movie. I don't understand why people are taking it too seriously. It's sappy and snowy and predictable, defiantly not masterpiece material, but still a cozy romantic movie to watch during the holidays. I'd defiantly recommend it if, you're looking for that kind of warm movie.

There are many failings of this move. The character development is shallow, the action is lacklustre, the plot is fairly unbelievable, and yet this movie has a certain charm to it. I think the heroine is quite charming, and one can not help but notice her "voluptuous curves" which are front and centre in many scenes. If you've got it flaunt it I say...

So with so many failings what gives this movie its charm? I think it is the sets and the lighting which I thought were very atmospheric. The charming Cafe, the wonderful guest house, the snowy streets were all very evocative of Christmas time.

It was a pleasure to see Andie MacDowell - I'd not seen her in anything since Four Weddings and a Funeral and that was a looonngg time ago. Yes she has aged but then haven't we all!

If you are wondering whether to watch this or not - go for it - just for the heartwarming Christmas atmosphere.

Yes, this movie is sappy as hell and totally predictable, but fir me it captured exactly the Christmas spirit I was looking for in a movie. After reading all the dissing reviews my expectations weren't high, but somehow all of it surprised me. Pretty good acting, great to see Eliza Taylor again, and all the cliché elements were there, including the plot holes. Sure, we've seen this done tons of times before, but doesn't that just make it enjoyable. Well, for me it did!

I actually liked the movie! Sure, there were some parts that were sometimes kind of cringy or weird (for example when she was tidying up that room or when she was supposed to seperate the eggs..) Of course you could tell some happenings ahead but all in all, the story was actually really sweet! Not mad.
