Ivy & Mistletoe

Not too hard to understand, easy to anticipate plot involving a young woman from a small town, living in the big city, yearns to return to simpler lifestyle. BF in the city wants to climb the corporate ladder, but doesn't realize how its done. He goes on a business trip, she goes by herself on a week long 'get away,' to a small town, simliar to where she grew up...

When she gets there, she finds out the place she's staying at is run by a widower, and his very business like daughter.

You should be able to guess the rest.....

Some of the acting is OK, some of it shows a lack of experience, but again, what did you expect. It made me feel good, even if some of the actors are just starting out, or haven't been in this type of production perviously.

Wish I could give it a negative score. 10 mins in and yikes this is like a cheaply made D- list movie even for a TV christmas movie this is atrocious. Most of them have at least decent editing and don't look like it was made by amateurs.

I thought it was a cute ok movie but I couldn't get past the extreme plastic surgery that Julianne Michelle had. She didn't look normal. Not trying to be rude...

I'm sure the theme of the movie was intended to be cute and romantic, but it fell short on being engaging. It felt as if it were lacking in genuinity and the actors, many of them, their characters felt forced and the overacting was very obvious. The makeup on the main character ivy, was overdone, she is an attractive woman and did not need her makeup to be quite so heavy. I know many people have commented on Michelle's plastic surgery but it is a personal choice which she made regardless of who agrees or disagrees. I personally feel it definitely was not needed as she does not look natural now, but I am not in the pressure of the expectations of movie and TV actors, so again to each his or hers own. Overall, the movie had a sweetness to it, if you could get through the overacting and what felt low budget. I would not watch it again but I have also seen worse.

It's not a bad story but the acting is horrible. Terrible casting.

Ivy & Max over-act but they're not the problem... it's Charles. He's awful!

Not a realistic character.

It's a little too schmultzy & this stuff doesn't happen in real life.

Other than that, it's okay. I watched it all the way to the end.

Good luck.
