Christmas Hotel

Once the over-acting parents appeared on the scene, that pretty much did it, and set the tone for the rest of the film. I have seen better acting in amateur productions, and these are professionals !!!! Maybe for many it was their first role as they left acting school, but some were so wooden they would be better of taking up carpentry as a career. The script didn't help, so zero points for the scriptwriters.

In essence, not worth staying in for.

I love everything about the movie..bianca putting pressure on erin..connor fell in love with erin but was disappointed because he thought she used him..the santa competion was nice too..the family store got back in biz n the town was happy again..erins parents brought a bit of xmas too..everybody did their part to make things happen and it was a great event at the end...welcome to the christmas hotel were the best words at the end..its a great family movie.wish ing there was a sequel to it...i didnt see any flaws at all..bianca was a bit short n abrupt in some scenes..but sheryl lee made up for it.

I, not only, enjoyed this movie, I enjoyed seeing some of favorite actors as well. Sheryl Lee Ralph: Dreamgirls, It's a Living, and Moesha, Telma Hopkins: Tony Orlando and Dawn, Gimme A Break, Family Matters, and William Allen Young: A Soldier's Story and Moesha.

This has been one of my favorite Christmas movies so far this season. The lead actors have wonderful chemistry and the scenery is beautiful. The ending is kinda predictable but I would watch this movie again.

Actors aside, 'Christmas Hotel' does not have much going for it.

That is not me saying the acting is amazing, of course, but I dug Tatyana Ali and Sean Patrick Thomas enough, their performances fall within the cheesy Xmas television flick remit. Sheryl Lee Ralph is the best of the rest. The rest of the film is lame, the plot is boring - not helped by how quickly the town's people switch their beliefs about the hotel itself. I bet certain governments wished they had protesters that switched as easily as the people of Garland Grove do!

I watched this on the Christmas 24 (twenty four) television channel.
