Merry & Bright

I am a huge fan of these Christmas Hallmark Movie troupes BUT I found it lacking. I look forward to watching these formula movies but this particular movie made me reach for my phone a lot...

I like more chemistry between leading characters. This one just didn't have the spark.

Okay, I totally agree that this movie was extremely predictable and sappy to no end, but I actually thought both Jodi Sweetin and Andrew Walker were very good in their roles. The acting wasn't horrible as others have stated, I actually thought their acting was quite good! It's a cute Christmas movie for all of you Christmas movie fans! Its innocent enough to watch with the whole fam. It's nice to sit down and watch a movie with my 13 and 10 year old girls and not have to worry about explaining questionable stuff. It's just pure, romantic, Christmas fun! I don't know why people have to be so negative about movies just because they're a good old fashioned movie without all of the gore, foul language and sexuality. Just find your Christmas spirit and a little joy! Lol

I understand some negative review but I found this one to be very light and calming. No real drama, just moved along nicely. The romance was believable because the two,were able to,get to know one another and then Andrew Walkers characters revelation about his feeling at home in small town. I think Jodie sweetin did good job with an understated but smart and confident character. This movie actually put me in a good mood. I'll take that any day.

Cates mum isn't old enough to be his mum...

Love anything Andrew is in, so I'd watch it anytime. Nice chemistry ..
