Christmas at Dollywood

Danica is cute but apart from a few Songs sung by Dolly there isn't enough of her. A few minutes at the end. The story is boring. Dollywood looks okay the parade nice. Not too unique just a nice generic theme park set romance.

The expected Hallmark Christmas film, saved by Dolly Parton and correct job of Niall Matter. Nothing new but a good show , nice details and good used pieces of a too familiar game. So, just nice.

6/10 - I love some Danica McKellar, but unfortunately this one did little to distinguish itself

As a season pass holder for dollywood I was very interested in this movie. First of all, this move is not about the theme park, which was to be expected. It was the standard hallmark movie made in Canada. It has the usual career conflict. The party planner from the big city meets the local hero who wants more. Also all the town scenes were not in Tennessee. There was too much snow, not enough moutains, and no tourists to be pigeon forge. There are no western bars to which the locals go line dancing.

It was okay. The romance was fine. It was not very funny, but did have a few moments. Dolly Parton had a very minor role at the very end. The movie did not do the park's Christmas celebrarion justice as it was filmed on a very small portion of it.

I was hoping that the plot would center around the individuals who work in dollywood's shows and have a litte more real and human story. Somthing a little different. Even if had all been shot on site or in the area immediately around the park. This was not different at all. I think that is why it dissapointed me. In summary while it was okay, it could have been better.

Rachel Davis (Danica McKellar) is told by her boss to take a break and go home to Tennessee for Christmas. She takes her young daughter back home which is close to Dollywood. She interviews to put on an anniversary Christmas event for Dolly. She gets hired with Luke and they have to work together.

At least, I get to visit Dollywood. I've never been there and that's all I want from this movie. It would be nice if Dolly has a bigger role. She should be a real character. It would be nice if we do more with Dollywood. This seems to be begging for more musical performances. There definitive should be more music instead of jamming it all into a small section. The lead couple is fine but there is little heat. There is too little of everything.
