The Christmas Cure

BEWARE OF BOGUS REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION & THAT IS WHAT IS GOING ON HERE FOR THIS FILM! TRUST ME THIS FILM IS TERRIBLE. NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 300 Christmas MOVIES. I HAVE NO AGENDA. I AM FARE

By watching the first three minutes of this film you will know how the next 2 hours are going to go. What was nice about the film was the locations they used for the film. It was beautiful.

In this film a doctor returns home for Christmas to find that her father has decided to retire from his own practice. After reuniting with her high school sweetheart, she wonders if she should stay and take over her father's practice.

What was nice about this film was the fact this wasn't about a family that were trying to put the pieces of their lives back together. It is not about a poor widow woman who has given up on love. Mainly it is a story about many people and the choices that are making they will impact the rest of their lives.

This is not a bad movie. Its just things you have seen 100X before.

The motif for see this film was, in my case, the presence in cast of Patrick Duffy. And the lovely location. And the predictability. A soft, sweet Christmas film, with the right doses of romance, drama, cliches, a not credible end but, like each modern fairy tale, giving a good state to the public . So, it works in decent manner. And, in strange manner, this is the only important thing , in this salad of the love stories of teenagers and young adults , neighbors stories and doctors .

6/10 - fairly festive Hallmark Christmas feature that doesn't stand out among the rest

I've seen this one several times now and have grown to like it a little more with each viewing. Brooke Nevin and Steve Byers seemed a little uneasy together and their chemistry wasn't the best, although I've certainly seen much worse in Hallmark movies. What plays better in this is Patrick Duffy, who was a genuinely warm presence as the father and town doctor. He obviously has made quite a difference in the lives of many over the years. There are several scenes of real warmth that show this.

There is also a cute side story involving the younger brother who has a crush on a schoolmate, played by Jocelyn Hudon.

The scenes with Vanessa (Nevin) and her father (Duffy) work much better than the romance with Mitch (Byers) in my opinion. Again, Mr. Duffy's scenes lifted this up from what easily could have been a very bland film, and it's because of him that I recommend this.

Great cast, particularly our two romantic leads...it even felt natural, but the storyline was far too predictable. Daughter finished medical studies in California, dad back home retiring from small town family practice. Puzzle meet piece.
