Staging Christmas

Lead actress is over acting - happy - merry - disappointed - whatever the mood. Lead actor is lacking expression.

I don't think I've ever seen a move with less chemistry between the leads. I have nothing positive to say about this one at all. I give it two stars, because - believe it or not - I've seen even worse movies, and I need to save the 1-star rating for those. Oh, the puppy was adorable, but that's the only positive thing about this.

I understand it's suppose to be a corny Christmas movie, but the acting is so poor. George and the other girl, from Sabrina the Teenage Witch, are good actors. So it was so surprising that they fell flat. There just wasn't chemistry or a spark between them. The little girl was the best actor out of the entire movie.

It just didn't play on my heartstrings as much as I expected it to be. The eye contact and connection seemed forced and not real.

I love George Stults, but this is getting deleted from my DVR.

Leading actor could not convince me he was the character for any amount of time during the movie and it was incredibly distracting. The female lead was a little better. Their chemistry seemed nonexistent during most of the movie with occasional times where you could see possibilities. I watched the whole movie & literally cringed through some of the lead actors scenes. The supporting actors were much better than the leads across the board. The generous 5/10 is for a decent story & because I'm a sucker for Christmas movies.

People! Do you not know what channel you are watching? This is a Lifetime movie. It's not that good either. Watching washed up kid stars form the 80s? I'd rather watch Punky Brewster or Family Matters! And George Stults ... 7th Heaven was a good vehicle - this isn't.
