Christmas Matchmakers

The channel had technical difficulties and tonight's movie was shown in its entirety. The movie is being shown again on 12/22.

I love a good Christmas movie, I'll even take a bad Christmas movie, but this has to be one of the worst I've ever watched. All the cliches, buckets of awkwardness and acting that seems consistently 3 steps off the pace. The writing feels like fanfic, overworked, overwrought and over thought with conversations lasting 3 times too long. If you're a Christmas tragic like me insisting on watching your way through every streaming Christmas movie this season, knock this one over early.

First of all I love Christmas movies, especially romance and rom com. Secondly, I never take the made for t.v ones too serious. Their strictly entertainment, cheesiness and all. Now, got that out of the way. This movie was going good until the end or the lack there of. I thought I missed something so I rewinded my dvr and I didn't . It's like they ran out of budget and yelled cut, leaving us to imagine our own ending. Idk, maybe that's how they wanted it but it was very unclimatic. Very frustrating. So unfinished and for that I deducted stars.

Netflix's Set It Up did the same plot much better. Having said that, this actually beats most ION movies in terms of quality. Plenty of cheesy dialogue, but it was enjoyable and had likable actors for once.

Like many others who watched this, the movie cut off right before the end. I set my DVR to tape it again tonight and just watched it. The ending is GREAT so I hope others got to see the ending as well.
