Wrapped Up in Christmas

Predictable and cringe-worthy, just as expected. But it's the predictability that makes me watch cheesy Christmas romances, so...

I enjoy most of the Christmas movies from Hallmark. They are bit like eating marshmallows. Lots of air, and some of them make you feel sick on sweetness, lack of chemistry and some bad acting. But they are still mostly fun and enjoyable each year. Recently I discovered Lifetime had been making some holiday movies as well. I enjoyed this one. It was fun to see different actors, and actors I have not seen for a long time in this movie. Also I liked that is was not a "single parent with a child". Hallmark needs to ditch that trope for a bit. Way too many with that story. Kudos for strong family and strong female leads who were into their careers and not suffering for it. Also I liked that the lead actress likes her job and is ambitious in a normal manner. There were also no "evil" characters. Thank goodness. I did not feel the acting was wooden at all. I was not familiar with the lead actress, Tatyana Ali, and I really liked her in this part. She was very believable.

An "attorney" who hasn't heard of Dickens' A.Christmas Carol??? A shopping mall "leasing manager" who wipes her full of handcream hand on her business suit??? Grandparents who tease their daughter that she can't cook and they bring ..pizza??? In the same scene, they bring pizza because they were worried their granddaughter didn't have anything to eat and, before the girl eats, her parents say it's time for ..bed??? It seems that every house has more than 2-3 Christmas trees ( there is one even in the ..bedroom ). Who in the world wrote this script?

Tatyana Ali Brendan Fehr were great in this movie. Loved the story and location.

I am a fan of Tatiana Ali and I was happy to see her in this sweet little Christmas movie/love story. It is similar to Hallmarks Christmas movies but this is apart of the Lifetime movie collection. I adored it, and I've added this to my Christmas movie collection to watch once a year. I hope to see more movies like this.
