Joyeux Baiser de Noël

This movie is so badly written. Do the actors read the script before signing in these things. Did they realise how non sensical, unrealistic and stupid the plot is. Noel Kahn is better than this role.

The worse part about this movie is the title, 'Merry Kissmas". I almost did not watch it because I had a hard time getting over the stupid title. However, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the movie. The love interest between Kayla and Dustin was full of genuine chemistry . On the other hand the chemistry between Kayla and Carlton was forced which was consistent with the storyline. These Up/Hallmark type movies always have a "dumpee" in the plot.

The main critique for me was that the Nutcracker banner on the venue looked like a high school sports banner--something the director, Carlton did address and the ballet dancers looked like first week dancers even though Carlton was suppose to be a world class director.

So there are a lot of things I didn't like about this movie. Like the fiance guy, the annoying store lady and the girls wishy washiness. But what bugged me the most is that they filmed a scene in current time and a year later using the same day. The actors were dressed the same, wearing the same jewelry, hair and even same handbag. It took away from the movie for me. All in all a typical rom-com with very good looking actors which made it all the more enjoyable.

I love cheesy Christmas movies and I thought that this would be another one that I would either end up liking or loving. I could barely stand 40 minutes of this torture. The acting was horrid. Save yourself the time and find something better to watch.

That's just one of the many brilliant lines from the script of Merry Kissmas. That morsel of brilliance was followed by "Thanks a lot elevator, you brought the most incredible woman into my life and now you're stopping me from getting to her" Do I really need to say anything more?

It gets four stars from me because I don't take these movies too seriously and Dustin and Kayla did have a bit of chemistry. Oh, and Mr. Barkley was cute.
