Un Noël artistique

This looked a lot better in the previews. Unfortunately, it falls flat from the very beginning and never rises from there.

The acting ranges from poor to so-so, the script is lacking, and there is little chemistry among the cast.

I also have to agree with Jack, I have never seen that much cleavage in one of these movies. I guess she paid for those things and she's gonna get her money's worth.

I always try to find something good about every movie. I suppose I would have to say the best friend was well-done. I really don't have much else, unfortunately.

All those actors we see in all those Hallmark movies have been at it for years, but they're all under contract. Great American has a smaller pool of available talent as a result. It will take a while to get the quality up, but I remain confident that they're on the right track.

But this movie is already deleted.

This movie was very hard to watch. I did finish it. The story line was a decent one. The writing felt a little weak at times. The acting was very amateurish. They talked very fast and in choppy sentences. They are older actors so it shouldn't have been this way. They are experienced actors on many different shows. I think my biggest beef was with Reggie ( Darrin Brooks). He's mostly been on soap operas. His acting felt very forced and inauthentic. He was so cringy. Fun fact: He's married to Kelly Kruger (Brit) in this movie. This movie you can pass on. Nothing great to see so you're not missing anything.

I never heard of these production companies and some of the elements of this movie come off as amateur. The script by the lead actor Brigette Kingsley is clumsy and makes the acting look bad. I don't think the actors are fully responsible for how bad it seemed. Kingsley has some wardrobe that is very attention getting, but perhaps a little too fancy. The background music is distracting at times. It shouldn't be noticeable, but in several cases a strong melodic line draws attention from the dialogue.

The story follows some usual lines but isn't exactly the same old stuff. I mentioned the script being clumsy and it is in several instances. One of the best examples is the two part break up between Liv and Bradley. One positive in the story is the birthday surprise for Liv by Jake and the kids. It's cute.

The movie is family friendly with the possible minor except of at least one dress worn by Kingsley. On any other network it wouldn't be noticed. Otherwise, there isn't a lot of tension in this movie.

The movie closes with the show and a nice performance by Ariella Cannon.

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).

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.
