Christmas Collision

This movie is unappealing. First, Theodora's character was way too harsh in the beginning 10-15 minutes. Made it easy not to care about her or to even wish something bad would happened. Should have started attitude at a lower level.

Second, the dialogue was a new kind of cliche- yes, we've heard it before, but at least it fit- not so with this movie. Seemed like writers grabbed lines they liked or were familiar with and then tried to force them to into random scenes. The writing also negatively impacted the story development. Plot points were disjointed as well, no cohesion.

Reminds me of brainstorming meetings where everyone is too buzzed to be authentically productive and know they need to rework it in the morning when people are sober, but in this case that didn't happen.

I don't know whose fault this is - but the script is awful the delivery is wooden - how it ever got passed as fit for public consumption goodness knows - it's terrible in every way. I gave up at 30 mins . I suggest you don't even begin... there are plenty of far better Christmas movies on other channels. US movies of this kind are usually of a much higher standard than this one

What amazes me is how it even got as far as development hell unless it's the studio head's son/daughter and he/she wanted to give them a job. But surely there are some good scripts and crew out there who could do a 100% better job although the script is so bad maybe not. Someone needs to take a much tighter rein on the content and delivery of films like this, frankly it's an insult to audiences putting this on ... there are no words frankly just avoid it completely..... it is total rubbish in every way.

No words ....

I have no idea how this was made. The worst written I have ever seen. This is not against the actors, who had to work with this drivel. Lack of motive. Melodrama. No logical info on a conflict that was empty. Everything resolved with no information about what happen. How the foreclosure came about. No research done about how these kind of situations work. No explanation of why some little farm was important enough to steal. Did they steal? What happened at the bank? Heroine does a character 180 between scenes. Horrific cliches: she breaks a high heel; opens at a funeral; sudden motive for the all life-important cookie competition? OMG! Over the top dialogue and focus. All that was missing was her father's twirling mustache. The writer clearly has never written anything. Wince-worthy.

I saw how low the ratings were but I thought I try watching it anyways. No expectations. The acting and plot were so so. The filming was awful. The camera kept moving unsteady like no one had anchored it down. I started getting motion sick after awhile and had to stop watching the movie.

It doesn't claim to be a Hallmark movie and the quality shows that. The acting is fair, but slow and non-professional. The lighting bothered me the most. Many scenes were fuzzy and dark. Natural sunlight was pointed towards the viewer and very distracting.

The story was similar to a Hallmark movie, but it wasn't cheerful or nearly as decorated.

The scenes were dreary. For those of us who are familiar with Hallmark movies, it must be very expensive to have top lighting professionals, but this film just doesn't have what it takes.

It is a movie with a happy ending, and that's always a pleasure to see.
