Four Christmases and a Wedding

A very bad representation of Norwegians and Swedes. Using an Australian actor with an Eastern European accent dosen't cut it.

Arielle Kebbel starred in one of my favorite Christmas movies, A BRIDE FOR CHRISTMAS (2012), so I was excited to watch this one. Unfortunately this one did not have the depth of story, emotion and great humor. It was a good movie. It was great to see the forever young Markie Post (Night Court) as her mom. The story tried to cover 4 years of Christmas and the 1st year when they met was rushed a bit (this hurt the emotional connection with me as the audience). Also the little girl really didn't get bigger over the time period. I loved how the dog was part of their story. Hope Arielle continues to make Christmas movies.

What the hell happened to Judge Rienhold? He was never a looker, but that face is just. . . ? He actually doesn't feature that much though so it's ok.

This film isn't too bad, that is to say, that I didn't rush to turn it off, but I didn't find myself glued to it either. It has a similar concept to 'Love At The Christmas Table' in the way that the events span many years and each year brings another problem to prevent them getting together.

I am not usually a fan of the male lead, Corey Sevier, but he seems to have found his fit in this one. The rest of the cast are all fine too.

It has a nice seasonal vibe centred around a Christmas fair and the romance is cute.

I think I may have become a bit numb to these films as I've seen at least 150 since just before December and that is why this one doesn't wow me, but we will see as I still have about another 60 to watch.

Stop 👏🏻 Eating 👏🏻 Cookies 👏🏻 While 👏🏻 Talking 👏🏻 The lead actress tries to be cute and nonchalant by crunching on Christmas cookies every chance she gets. It's not cute, it's annoyingly and off putting. Everyone knows that no one wants to listen to someone eat!

I thought the plot was more clever than most Christmas movies. The acting was surprisingly good across the board. The lead actress, Arielle Kebbel, was delightful and charming. I also loved that she was constantly eating during the scenes! It was a special treat to see Markie Post and Judge Reinhold on the screen. I also liked all the establishing shots featuring real snow scenes--that helped keep the movie cold and Christmas-y. I also liked that the movie continued for 5 minutes past the "normal ending" of a Christmas movie. Overall very enjoyable.
