The Mistletoe Inn

I've watched several movies/TV Shows with Alicia Witt. She is a good actress. Her love interest in the film was quite good too. Her ex- boyfriend was very one dimensional, but his part was terribly written. It's ironic that a film about romance writing would be so horribly written. I would rate the writing a 2 out of 10. Weak, with one- dimensional characters and really poor dialog and phony situations (even for a Hallmark romance movie).

It's too bad the two stars didn't have better material to work with.

On a side note, I wish they would quit filming these things in the summer. Is it so difficult to film them one winter and present them the next?

I love this movie! Alicia Witt is delightful as always, David Alpay is charming and interesting and it all comes together! The supporting characters ring true to every writing class I've ever participated in. It's also a bit of a different story but with the classic Hallmark cozy settings!

I love this Christmas film for ...iits sins. For predactibility, for the handsome black hair guy versus ginger young woman, for the talk about writing, for the feeling to see an improvisation, for the doubts if it is realy is a Christmas film because all seems be an excuse for use the actors for a project not too convincing. Result - a nice film for a reader like me and decent story for the viewer who remains far to be fan of Hallmark Christmas movies. That is all.

I'm beginning to realize that sometimes the films you were least expecting to enjoy actually turn out to be some of the best films yet. The Mistletoe Inn was a really good film. The setting and atmosphere of the movie was great, but sometimes I forget it was a Christmas movie since there were times It didn't feel much like Christmas, but instead it simply felt like more like a Winterfest film that would air at the start of the new year. I loved all the characters mainly the main couple, Kim and Zeke and Kim's new friend, Samantha. The chemistry Kim and Zeke shared was excellent and I loved their unique personalities. Fun and Quirky. It was quite different than anything I've seen before. They were a lot of fun to watch and I really enjoyed Kim's friendship with Samantha.

This film truly was the perfect example of helping one to come out of their comfort zone and try new things. Kim was rather a little overly sensitive when the film began, but by the end she became a much stronger character I am proud to have watched. However, I do wish her ex-boyfriend could've gotten a better punishment after how he treated Kim and sabotaged her and though I'm happy she proved herself to him, I think it could've been better. I also enjoyed Samantha's little quest of trying to uncover the identity of the mystery romance writer of the movie and although the scenes were short and brief, it was still fun and intriguing. This film had a lot of positive qualities I really enjoyed along with a little twist I wasn't expecting nor did I see coming.

Overall, this was an enjoyable festive winter movie to watch and hopefully it'll feel more like a Christmas film during the actual season.

I generally enjoy Alicia Witt, but contrary to the previous review I find her affectations in this film both annoying and juvenile. I don't know if it's just getting old or just this movie. By the end, both leading characters are over working their jaws. It took much away from the film for me.
