A Twist of Christmas

I watch all the Christmas movies, Hallmark, Lifetime, misc. Canadian independent productions and UK movies. I have watched about 20 so far already this "holiday" season. This is one of the best ones. I found myself actually smiling numerous times during the movie. The acting was natural and felt like it really could have happened. That is harder than one may think in these movies to achieve. The two leads had a good genuine feeling chemistry. Not love at first sight, nor hate at first site, (which gets rather annoying after so many of these movies). Vanessa Lachey was very good. I have never seen her act before. Brendon Zub reminded me so much of Alex O'Loughlin from Hawaii Five 0. I have never seen him before either, in anything that I recalled. They both did a great job. There were no broadly drawn "villains" or bad people. The two kids were great. They also were more natural and did not overdo their roles. I guess I need to credit the director and producer for all this. Someone obviously gave great directions to the actors, and it worked. Be natural and more relaxed. Even the Grandparents seemed real to me. Low key and nice and normal people, like people I know. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and recommend it.

Managed 20 minutes of this appalling film. A deluded woman presumes entitlement and the responses from the male lead aren't much better. They present as poor role models for their kids and I dont think I could have lasted the whole film without throwing something at the tv.

New fav Christmas movie!! Don't miss! Vanessa makes this movie so much fun to watch!

The movie was fine but the characters weren't original at all. Super controlling, always on a schedule single mother meets a guy blah blah blah. It's been done to death

This movie was good but could be predictable at times but worth a worth
