Christmas Incorporated

The movie begins with Riley Vance (Shenae Grimes-Beech) struggling to find employment when she gets a tip on a personal assistant job. When they call her name to be interviewed they call Riley V., and while in the interview she realizes that the interview was suppose to be for Riley Vanderdale but she was already committed and hired so she just goes with it. So Riley becomes the assistant to William Young (Steve Lund) who has inherited his father's massive company and is challenged to perform well to prove his worth. William is faced with possibly closing the company's flagship toy factory in Dover, New Hampshire. While in Dover several delightful characters are introduced such as Piper (Hannah Spear) who is resourceful, delightful and fills several roles for the town; Mayor Martin Keegan (Ron Lea) is cheerful, funny and provides William with wonderful advice; the sheriff, and several others contribute to the fun.

The chemistry between Riley and William feels real and you know they will be great together. This is a fun and romantic movie that shares to spirit of Christmas.

Christmas Incorporated was my introduction to Steve Lund and it made me want to see more of his work. Hallmark movies tend to be predictable but I really enjoyed this one. I highly recommend it.

We love the Hallmark movies but found this one a bit lacking. Sure the story was weak but that was not our objection. The dialog was very stilted and didn't at all seem real. A lack of chemistry made us wonder why a mature guy would fall for a teenager (that what she acted like). I'll blame this one on the writers. We had just finished re-watching A Christmas to Remember which we absolutely loved loved loved so maybe getting this weaker effort on the rebound didn't help. Not a complete waste of time, but switch to the other Hallmark channel if you can find something there.

I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 400 (C H R I S T M A S ) MOVIES AND SPECIALS.

BEWARE OF BOGUS REVIEWS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. NOW I HAVE NO AGENDA! I AM HONEST! I REVIEW MOVIES & SPECIALS AS A WAY TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT I HAVE SEEN!

Sometimes, life just seems to hand you exactly what you need – particularly at Christmastime. In this new yuletide tale, Riley is scraping bottom when she miraculously lands a job with a wealthy New York City entrepreneur. He's a bad-boy socialite type who is poised to play Scrooge by closing one of his factories just before Christmas, which would devastate and entire town. It's left to Riley to talk him out of it and turn him into a man of virtue rather than shame. But will a case of mistaken identity ruin the whole plan?

What is disappointing was this had an attractive cast that could of made this film amazing. The film is by the numbers. Nothing New here folks. Its worth watching once.

This movie is adorable and the chemistry is totally there! Despite having a bias for anything Andrew Walker, this movie completely delivered. It was cute, sweet, not entirely predictable, and my husband wasn't making puking faces at me the entire movie. As long as you don't think through the actual logistics of the movie, you will like it. Andrew does a great, believable bah humbug character and Shenae Grimes-Beech is adorable, like always. Although it follows a typical Hallmark movie story line, it still feels fresh and new!

Favorite line: "You can't cut me off from Christmas ornaments!!"
