The Knight Before Christmas

It's cheesy and terrible, yet somehow charming and watchable, especially if you're into these cheap Christmas movies - like I am!

The one thing I will say is - if you own a decent 4K oled tv, this movies shows it off surprisingly well... not really where I expected to witness really good picture quality, that's something I would expect from a hollyweird blockbuster, but it looked great which really surprised me and probably made the film more watchable than it actually was!

It's a Christmas romance movie , being cheesy is a given , the actors are likeable , the movie is enjoyable therefore it's actually a pretty good Christmas movie.

Around 30 minutes in the film, they show Vanessa's car with the tree on the roof of the car. Then you see the car without a tree on its top. Finally they pick the tree and you see the Knight trying the tree on the roof of the car...

This Netflix Christmas holiday comedy romance offers up the by now typical time travel turmoil of a knight in the 14th century Norwich, England transported to 21st century Bracebridge, Ohio (though supposedly the actual location is the city by the same name in Ontario, Canada). What's a little different in this time period mix up between the possible romantic couple is that the surprising and relatively stress-free storyline that somehow even so keeps its audience entertained with a lot of time period oddities and peculiarities. It's nice for a change, in today's high-tension socio-political environment to come across a movie that doesn't require and involve a lot of melodramatics and instead offers up a pleasant and uplifting theatrical experience at this time of year.

Script is muah. Pretty cliché and a bit cringe sometimes. Nonetheless everything looks great, and it's a fun movie where you can laugh about some of the simple and awkward scenes.
