Four Christmases and a Wedding

I thought the plot was more clever than most Christmas movies. The acting was surprisingly good across the board. The lead actress, Arielle Kebbel, was delightful and charming. I also loved that she was constantly eating during the scenes! It was a special treat to see Markie Post and Judge Reinhold on the screen. I also liked all the establishing shots featuring real snow scenes--that helped keep the movie cold and Christmas-y. I also liked that the movie continued for 5 minutes past the "normal ending" of a Christmas movie. Overall very enjoyable.

These movies succeed because they are formulaic and make you feel all warm and fuzzy. Unfortunately I didn't get those feels because I couldn't connect with Arielle Kibble in the lead role of Chloe.

Arielle is a beautiful woman; however, her performance didn't seem to be coming from a sincere place. I wasn't invested in her character as a result.

Her overacting was distracting and resulted in little chemistry between the two leads (central point of these movies).

Corey Sevier played his part well, especially when you consider how little he was getting back from the leading lady. The rest of the cast were good and the scenery was simply gorgeous.

Overall, there seemed to be too much focus on trivial events and not enough fleshing out of the main characters and plot. The idea was nice, but it got lost amongst the frills at the writing table.

Stop 👏🏻 Eating 👏🏻 Cookies 👏🏻 While 👏🏻 Talking 👏🏻 The lead actress tries to be cute and nonchalant by crunching on Christmas cookies every chance she gets. It's not cute, it's annoyingly and off putting. Everyone knows that no one wants to listen to someone eat!

A typical generic stupid christmas movie that I wouldn't recommend to my mother and she loves this kind of movies.

What the hell happened to Judge Rienhold? He was never a looker, but that face is just. . . ? He actually doesn't feature that much though so it's ok.

This film isn't too bad, that is to say, that I didn't rush to turn it off, but I didn't find myself glued to it either. It has a similar concept to 'Love At The Christmas Table' in the way that the events span many years and each year brings another problem to prevent them getting together.

I am not usually a fan of the male lead, Corey Sevier, but he seems to have found his fit in this one. The rest of the cast are all fine too.

It has a nice seasonal vibe centred around a Christmas fair and the romance is cute.

I think I may have become a bit numb to these films as I've seen at least 150 since just before December and that is why this one doesn't wow me, but we will see as I still have about another 60 to watch.
