Christmas Bake-Off

"A Dash of Christmas" is a cute movie. I knew that it would be a good movie because Christopher Russell and Laura Osnes are in it. They are both excellent actors. The beginning of the movie was funny.

It is a baking movie. I love baking movies, Royal movies, and fashion movies. Especially if they are Christmas movies.

The scenery in "A Dash of Christmas" is pretty. The house with the Christmas lights and snow is just beautiful. It must have been filmed in Canada. I've never been to Canada, but a lot of Hallmark movies are filmed there, and Canada is just beautiful. I had no idea that Canada was so beautiful before I watched Hallmark.

I recommend watching this movie.

Both of the main characters are excellent actors. I enjoyed seeing them on the Hallmark Channel when they were acting in those movies. Now that they are on the Great American channel, these Christmas movies are feel good and I really enjoy watching them. I look forward to the Christmas movies in July, that is my favorite. But, they tend to be all the same. Girl comes home with an assignment or recently fired from their job. Runs into a man or sees ex-boyfriend. Storylines need to change up some. Get creative. I do love the traditional relationships so I will continue to watch. I do recommend everyone tuning in to this movie.

Thank you GAC, I loved this movie!! The actors were very good and everything just seemed so natural. The flow of the movie was also very good.. the supporting cast were also nice to watch. I liked it because A) it centered around food and B) it wasn't a "save the farm" or "save the family inn" Yes it wasn't the most original plot but at least it wasn't one that's been done countless times. I felt the leads had very good chemistry together but natural chemistry not forced and fake. The scenery was beautiful especially the interior of their home with all the Christmas lights - so pretty and festive. Watch out Hallmark... here comes GAC!! Kudos to all involved in this project- keep up the good work!!

As some other reviewers noted, the storyline moved along well. While the bakery theme is not too far off the usual themes, the perfunctory "conflict" moment was not too contrived. I find Christopher Russell to almost always deliver a likable, charming character and manages to avoid coming off looking like the bumbling idiot in front of the girl which is such a staple of this Hallmark type genre. The romantic chemistry was there, although Laura Osmes actually delivered that better than Russell. Why didn't he kiss her upon leaving after the family dinner? When she says 'I love you' at the end, why didn't he actually say that too? I sometimes wonder if these HM screenplay writers have any firsthand knowledge of how a normal male reacts under feelings of sexual attraction? One thing we don't do is just stand there, not saying or doing anything.

This was such an enjoyable and charming movie! I loved it from beginning to end. The two main characters Aaron (yum!) and Megan's chemistry is off the charts which is probably why it was so easy to fall into!! This wasn't your typical predictable movie, it had its own little twists without the awkward fight that usually happens in these types of films. The plot, the storyline and the pace all fit together beautifully and in no way dragged on for even a moment. Every second was thought out and every line delivered fabulously. The actors were acting comfortably and believably without trying too hard- again as you often see in other movies of this type. That was not the case here. I loved every single thing about this feel good-smile-from-ear-to-ear-eat-your-heart-out-holiday love fest. This absolutely baked up mouth-watering charm and delivered a fresh a warm sweet treat to indulge in. Don't critique it, just enjoy and be deliciously entertained!!
