Meet Me Under the Mistletoe

Hopefully NO realtor would be so underhanded as to butt in with another agent speaking with clients. His constant referral to "Agent of the year" was nauseous.

His constant reminders that he has "sold houses" whereas the lady had sold "condos" was petty and childish. Is anyone that insecure?

If your network wants to compete with Hallmark you need better writers.

I'm doing my best here to give a short accurate review to this pitiful movie but everything I hit "submit" an error message pops up telling me that my review is too short.

How many words does it take to request better writers and a better plot?

7.4 stars.

This is one that I didn't hate even with the low ratings. I guess I will have to watch every Hallmark and Family movie in existence, because I've found myself getting lost in the world of real estate and mistletoe of all things, with a rating under 6 stars and so it's hit and miss, but rolling the dice don't seem to work, because this movie ain't bad. I mean this is as corny a plot as it gets I suppose, but isn't it all just fluff these days anyways? The story focuses a bit too much on the sale of a house. Who will buy it, why, and how? Its just weird and way overblown for a simple house sale. It's about two real estate agents who compete for the most sales and rentals and they eventually realize they are attracted to each other. The man goes from arrogant jerk to instant nice guy in the midst of one scene, it's funny, but also endearing, but still funny as I watch his whole demeanor change from bad guy harasser to nice guy attractive. I have never seen him in a movie prior. And the lead female, I've not watched anything she's in, but I like her style, she has a down to earthness that is relaxing and contagious. So they are starting to like each other as more than coworkers, but then there's a few hitches, and then they bounce back. She has a niece staying with her and the niece has a neat little side story too. Oddly, this cast of characters have a synergy that makes for above average entertainment. It's not a film I could round up to 8, however.

Nothing special but a few nice moments.

It's a big plus that the main male character is not an abusive, toxic male, which the main female character has to endure in order to discover some of his good sides and, in the end, fall in love with him.

The guy in this movie was actually a decent guy from the beginning. Even the characters' initial rivalry was set up without us hating the guy!

It is a lovely fairy tale about the mistletoe growers - from their relationship, through their 'magic' to how dreamy their house was.

Unfortunately, despite having all the good elements, something didn't work in this movie. Perhaps the lack of chemistry between the two leads... Or the lack of chemistry between the main lead and her girlfriend characters...

I gave it a try, I really did. But after 45 minutes I hit delete on my PVR.

I'm quite sure actual real estate agents wouldn't act like these two did, trying to one-up each other to get a real estate listing. If they did, they wouldn't be selling my home. But as the story goes, they learn to work together and begin to like each other. Not exactly a new plot twist.

I'm not sure why Great American Family movies always have to have music playing in the background. Instead of adding to the movie, I find it annoying and distracting.

Pass on this one because there are much better Christmas movies out there.

Sarah and Simon do a fantastic job sharing a story of how two rivals with personal internal struggles come together at work to accomplish a huge project. The push-pull of the relationship gets your heart pumping at key moments. Love the concept of a niece living with a relative for education purposes, including that the niece is not a boneheadded teenager but a balanced teen that can enjoy the education pursuit and still enjoy the romance of her aunt. Extremely purehearted movie with a few Christmas capers tied in. Despite other reviews, I think the chemstry is fantastic and Sarah Fisher's natural beauty is a huge draw. Robin Dunne is one of my favs as he has done awesome work and this one is no exception. All the supporting cast is FABULOUS! NIce to see Paul and Jan together again this year as a power couple! Enjoy!!
