A Christmas in Vermont

This movie is cheesy, but I have been in the mood for cheesy Christmas movies this year. Howard Hesseman I've always liked, he's the reason I give A Christmas in Vermont the stars it gets.

This isn't a realistic look at Vermont. First, it is filmed in Buffalo, NY, which isn't Vermont. They could have filmed it in Stowe and provided a much more realistic setting. I laughed when I saw the supposed Vermont license plates. That's a NY plate with "Vermont" photoshopped over NY. That's simply lazy. As was putting one photoshopped plate in while all other plates on cars parked on the streets were NY plates.

I've seen feedback about snow. It's almost Christmas and there's no snow on the ground. It was 50 this weekend. Snow at Christmas isn't a guarantee in Vermont. That said, cold weather usually is and any Vermonter stood out in the cold for that long would have a coat zipped up all the way and a hat or scarf covering the ears.

I've lived in Vermont for more than 40 years and I have not heard anyone say "Howdy." I don't know why authors and scriptwriters continue to think that Vermonter's talk like that. Again, circle back to Hesseman, who is as Vermonter-like as I've seen. He often reminded me of my dad, right down to the speech and mannerisms.

Acting is weak for the most part. The plot is same-old, same-old, but I expected the same Christmas romance redone, so I could handle that. The downfall to me came from making "Vermont" about as un-Vermont as possible.

"A Christmas in Vermont" is a Comedy - Romance movie in which we watch a company executive traveling to a small town in order to liquidize an outwear factory during the Christmas season.

I have to admit that I did not have high expectations from this movie so, I was not disappointed by it. It's another Christmas movie to spend your time with but do not expect more than that. The plot of the movie was simple but good enough for the concept of the movie. The interpretations of both Abigail Hawk who played as Riley Thomas and David O'Donnell who played as Wyatt Davis were good and their combination worked just fine. All in all, I have to say that "A Christmas in Vermont" is another Christmas movie to spend your time but do not expect much from it.

It is very difficult to write I like it about this Christmas film. The first obstacle is the dusty story , the high predactibility and the not very happy option for the end.

It is unfair to write I hate it . Because Howard Hesseman and , for a small fist of reasons, Chevy Chase.

But it represents a nice try, helped, with good result, by Vermont locations.

And by the remind of roots and fruits of idealism of youth, about obstacles and bad understanding and about seductive wisedom of elders.

The romance ? Yes, it works decent. Not the chemistry but the science of Abigail Hawk to roll in nice sense the story.

The star of this movie is supposed to be Vermont. Outsider "savior" Riley (Abigail Hawk) wants to use the company's Vermontiness to save it. It is pretty clear that in addition to knowing nothing about the clothing business, no one associated with its production has ever been here or knows anything real about Vermont. The movie itself was filmed near Buffalo and could be anywhere USA. That town, East Aurora, would be one of the largest towns in Vermont - bigger than all but 20 of Vermont's 250 towns. Add horrible inauthentic dialogue, epically predictable plot, annoying characters, and wooden acting, and you've got an unwatchable Christmas disaster.

A Christmas in Vermont (2016) is a movie I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a woman tasked with shutting down a company in Vermont that her organization has recently acquired. However, after experiencing the charm of the town, its locals, and the original owner, she begins to question her assignment and struggles with moving forward.

This film is directed by Fred Olen Ray (Deadly Vows) and stars Chevy Chase (National Lampoon's Vacation), Abigail Hawk (Blue Bloods), Howard Hesseman (WKRP in Cincinnati), Morgan Fairchild (The Seduction), and Zack Ward (A Christmas Story).

While the movie follows a very straightforward and predictable formula, it does have its share of charming moments within the love story and holiday themes. Chevy Chase's performance feels awkward, with his character and dialogue coming across as forced and unnatural. Though his involvement may have been a notable addition, the role didn't make the most of his talent. On the other hand, Abigail Hawk delivers a solid performance as the lead, making the film engaging enough to follow through to its conclusion. While the storyline, subplots, and ending are all predictable, they still provide a pleasant, feel-good holiday experience.

In conclusion, A Christmas in Vermont is an average holiday movie but still enjoyable for fans of the genre. I would score it a 5/10.
