Married by Christmas

Review Date 6/2/2019

I Have Reviewed OVER 500 "Christmas Films and Specials". Please BEWARE Of films and specials with just one review! For instance When "It's a POSITIVE" chances are that the reviewer was involved with the production. "If its Negative" then they may have a grudge against the film for whatever reason. I am fare about these films.

In this film Due to an antiquated clause in her grandmother's will, an ambitious young executive may lose her place at the family company unless she can get married by Christmas.

The acting is very good in this. The story moves at a very nice pace. Motives are very understandable and most of all believable. What I like was the fact that the story took a chances with the ending and so you don't get the predictable ending that these type of films usually give.

Worth watching

So, a woman is trying to win over her stolen birthright by getting married. Confusion of business in the place of love. What we get is essentially a variation on "A Christmas Carol," a person who realizes that heart is more important than profit, except it takes her an exceptionally long time to learn her lesson.

As her sister puts it, Carrie is smart and yet so stupid. She fails to understand anyone on a personal level. In my opinion she does not really redeem herself in this movie. In fact I felt that no one learned much of anything.

Surprisingly, this movie was very well executed. The performances, script, and photography were quite convincing. Sadly it was lacked structure and originality.

I was looking forward to watching this movie. The premise sounded interesting and I love a good Christmas TV movie. Alas the reality of this terrible story line just mad me mad and frustrated. Who writes this tripe???? It's 2017 (when I watched it) and released in 2016 NOT the turn of the century. I'm sorry but I do NOT recommend this movie at all.

I gave it 2 stars because I do like the actors in it and have seen them in MUCH better productions.

Good watch, could watch again, and can recommend.

It's great to see April Browlby on the screen ("Crazy Meg" from "How I Met Your Mother") and Jes Macallan is excellent, carrying the movie.

There is plenty of humor and romantic tension leading to contentious drama, but it is a little bland.

I think the production intended on the hook of "she's gotta get married by Christmas" to land, but it's not exactly reflected in the movie as the main plot point nor an actual character goal.

The movie has some fun in it though so it might be a "decent curl up with someone and give it a go" night.

This movie started out so well .. I had high hopes but it just didn't make sense by the end!! I'm giving this 5 stars because it had great acting, I loved the main characters .. I just feel like the script needs a bit of tweaking... Because this just didn't feel like the feel-good-movies I'm used to .. and just when I thought I discovered another TV network to look forward to its movies 🎥

I really liked the hero and heroine, they had great chemistry. Loved the sisters relationship, because it came off so real.

I liked the film, I just wish it was better. But maybe that's just me. Take a chance on this movie, you might like it.
