À la recherche de l'esprit de Noël

The action that sets this movie going is this: A woman politely turns down a gift from a man. He continues to harass her for several minutes as she keeps politely deflecting him. He then gets so far into her personal space that when she turns around, he gets knocked over. Somehow, no one has a problem with the harassment. In fact, the woman is considered a bad person because the man lives Christmas, and she prefers not to celebrate it. Her boss even has a staff meeting where, in front of co-workers, she also acts like politely preferring not to celebrate means the woman is bad. No one even thinks to defend the woman and say, "The man was harassing her-- shouldn't we do something about that?" How is this a feel-good movie? The woman has to spend the rest of the plot atoning for being harassed?

This was an alright movie. I picked it to add to my Christmas movie challenge.

I like it when they go to little towns and it is all christmassy.

This now helps to take my christmas movies to 35 out of 100.

Will I watch this again? Yeah maybe.

Without Colin Ferguson, I probably wouldn't have sat through this movie more than once. The story itself really isn't my cup of tea. A news anchor (Lori Loughlin) has an embarrassing mistake on live television, exposing her as someone who doesn't like Christmas. To save face, the network orders her to do a several-day small-town exposé in a place guaranteed to instill her in the Christmas spirit. I know lots of Hallmarks feature a plot or subplot of a character who doesn't like Christmas then learns to love it; but this one felt really forced and almost offensive. Her television blooper could have easily been explained away, and after the holiday season had ended, people would forget all about it. What if she was Jewish or Buddhist and held no special feeling for the Christian holiday - would the network still force her to change her views?

Once she gets to town, the movie gets a little better, since she and her cameraman (Colin) try and fail to ignore their rekindled feelings. They were an item in the past, so do you think the small-town charm and Christmas magic might help them get back together and solve all their emotional problems?

You'll have to watch this Hallmark Christmas special to find out. It might not end up being your favorite, but you'll probably enjoy it. I've happily watched it three times, glad for the gorgeous eye candy.

BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 300 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA.

While unknowingly on air, a TV personality accidentally admits she hates Christmas. In order to keep her job her boss sends her to a small town. The town in called "Hollyvale" Here she do news stories about this town and how the town is crazy about "Christmas". So she does daily stories from "Hollyvale"

Coming with her is her ex-boyfriend who also happens to be her boss.

The acting is fine. Christmas Movie fans will love this film.

I love a good Christmas movie, this was a little dull and obviously predictable.

So what the main character isn't into Christmas, seems to be very shocking to everyone, wonder what I'm missing?
