Matchmaker Christmas

I was distracted by the fact the female lead was obviously pregnant. I didn't even verify I was correct until after I watched the movie. They try so hard to hide the fact that it's just annoying especially in a romance show. The actress didn't seem to know how to act like she wasn't pregnant because it was clear she wasn't comfortable with her body in the way she drew attention to her midsection. It ruined the movie for me. She also has absolutely no emotion range in her acting. The way she acted so aloof to interacting with her all the other actors made it feel like she could never be a matchmaker. The part with Chester pooring out his heart to her seemed thrown out there, she couldn't even act interested. Would've been better to get a different actress and one that could actually display some genuine emotion to make it believable there was love for the leading male character. Change the leading actress and the show would be more watchable. It's not one I'll ever watch again nor recommend anyone watch. At least the leading love interest was good at his job and nice to look at. Honestly, he was the only thing that got me through the movie.

It certainly won't suit fans of super hero movies!!!! However, my wife, my daughters and all of my nieces loved it. The majority here was 9 for against my grudgingly 'it was good ' so democracy wins the vote hands down. The best way to enjoy it is to find yourself a comfortable seat, put your Christmas hat on, get the popcorn into bowls or a wee glass of whisky if you are like me, and finally have your tissues ready. Yes, a Christmas winner.

A book editor and part time matchmaker starts editing for an old love. Emily Rose and Corey Sevier play the pair. Her family didn't like him long ago because they were too young and facing an uncertain career. Now he made it as an author things are different. Her dead pan way of talking is slightly at odds with Hallmark style but at least it's not perky cute.

The explanation at the end why her sister disapproved is quite realistic. Things get more complicated when her boss likes him.

It's not a typical Hallmark story. A bit more thoughtful.

This movie is an entertaining Christmas love story. It's the kind of movie to help get in the holiday mood with a cup of hot cocoa. Light, warm feeling with a good pace, it's something you'd expect to watch on Lifetime.

A real difference. Actual chemistry shown. Love Emily Rose.

Would watch again.

Nice story line. No surprises but still watchable owing to the actors.

Was Emily Rose pregnant with her third child during this movie ?
