Angel Falls: A Novel Holiday

The blurb for this movie sounds MUCH better than what the writers managed to turn out.

I could never find any chemistry between the leads, and the Scrooge-like face and attitude of the "author to be helped" was just a turn off for most of the movie. And of course, the plot is really nothing more than a random collection of familiar cliches, prominent among them the male lead's decision between small-town happiness and big city success.

The female lead was never anything but irritating to me. She alternated between self-pity and forced perkiness, and I don't think the writers even meant to write a manic-depressive.

Yuck.

I'd love to see Jen Lilley in a movie where she doesn't have to wear a coat. As stylish and numerous as they are.

This is a Hallmark holiday romance between two high school rivals and Angel Falls natives, Hannah and Ryan. The two unite to try to sign a retired author to Hannah's family publishing business during the holidays.

There are actually angels in this holiday romance that can freeze time....just thought I would mention the elephant in the room!

Otherwise these are two very attractive people who have always seemed to like one another, who get a second chance to clear up misunderstandings and get to know one another...and guess what? They are both nice AND they like each other.

Christmas backdrop for this young attractive couple to fall in love. If that is your thing, this is for you...but otherwise a middle of the road romance with no surprises.

FYI Jen Lilley had her baby on set with her so she wasn't pregnant. She looked amazing. I disagree I felt the leads had chemistry and the story line was typical Hallmark. I do agree this year they had way too many movies this year and I can't quite remember most of them after they air. Only a handful did I think were amazing. Often I find when I see the movies again I enjoy them more and more over the years.

I read a review and it states it was filmed in North Bay. My mother grew up there so I love seeing the area. I visited my Grandma when I was very young over 45 years ago so my memory is faint. I only remember her house and the snow. They owned a store on Main Street (Harry Mulligan) that has since burned down.

Uninspired writing and performances.

40 Hallmark Christmas shows this year is just too many. Cut it down to 20 (at most) and strive for quality over quantity.
