The Art of Christmas

Storyline had some potential for a holiday Christmas romance but that's almost all the movie had going for it.

The lead actress is beautiful and the dresses were gorgeous. The young girl that's getting bullied is a phenomenal singer (if it's really her & not voiceover). That's where the positives end for me.

The acting, while not the worst I've ever seen, fell completely flat. I didn't feel an ounce of chemistry between any of the characters. It felt like they were just saying their lines without any real connection or emotion behind them. The movie was just....boring.

I've been trying to give GAC a chance with their movie lineups but the quality of their content is lacking any appeal for me.

Cute although predictable story, spoiled by choppy, clunky dialogue, no chemistry between the leads, and odd fashion choices - a sleeveless tank dress in the middle of winter, Flashdance-esque casual wear, and plenty of deep cleavage-revealing formal wear. There is a solid message to be found about authenticity and finding your authentic self although the best parts of this movie were really the characters of Tricia, Reggie, and Brit. Frankly, the quick wit and singing talent of Darin Brook (Reggie) and natural chemistry with Kelly Kruger (Brit) were the real highlights of this movie, along with the beautiful voice of Ariella Cannon (Tricia).

I almost didn't watch this because of the negative reviews, but I'm glad I finally did. I thought it was charming. I didn't have any expectations going in, and I found it to be on par with most of the movies of its genre on these networks. Predictable? Yes. But I thought the acting was good and that the characters did have chemistry. Their facial expressions, especially those of Joe Towne, the leading man, were quite effective. Darin Brooks made the character of Reggie fun, and it was interesting to know that he and "Brit" (Kelly Kruger) are a couple in real life. If you want to see a movie about how helping others can help you follow your heart and find your way, then give this a try.

I was hoping this would be better. Plot was pretty good and the acting was fair.

Unfortunately, it was extremely predictable. The storyline with the young girl who's getting bullied had potential, but it fizzled. It was interesting that the leading lady was pretty and the leading man looked more like an average guy next door. No real chemistry between them probably because the acting wasn't very good. Wish they had played up the Grandpa's role a little bit more. I think that would have been fun. He was a character for sure! I will say that the dresses and costumes were really pretty to look at. Very very forgettable movie.

Unlike some of the other reviewers. I kind of liked this one. It had Christmas themes throughout without being overly Christian and its execution. I like the premise of the artist not liking the work and throwing it away she's in someone else finding it and thinking it's beautiful. That's not a spoiler, it's in the description. I also like that the characters are obviously falling for each other without any pretense of starting off in a negative fashion. They obviously have feelings for each other throughout the entire movie and afraid to admit it to one another, either. This is refreshing to me.
