Grounded for Christmas

This was ridiculously adorable. I didn't know what to expect and I was surprised. It's a nice movie to enjoy during the holidays.

First, there was good chemistry between the actors. Secondly, it is not the same type of plot Hallmark has, so it's a different pace. It was nicely done. Good dialogue. Believable chemistry between the rest of the cast. I was even willing to let go of the overused plot of the fake boyfriend, that's how much I like it.

I work in aviation ok? So, there was things that had me rolling my eyes, it's simply not that easy, (like why did Nina had two stripes on her jacket, when she is supposed to have three like on her shirt, same with Brady) but I was willing to let that go. Also, i'm here for representation of women in the aviation industry. Hallmark gave us a pilot, now Lifetime is giving us one, so thank you.

Give this a try. I'll probably watch again someday.

The ex ostensibly forces them together into the charade, but he never seemed like a realistic possibility. The actor overplayed his lameness a little. Actually, most of the acting was less than stellar especially in embarrassing confrontations. The exception was Julianna Guill and Corey Sevier together. The antagonism turning to romance seemed real, albeit rushed.

There is more of a twist near the end than I've seen in a Christmas movie in a while. Caught me totally by surprise. The implications disturbed me a little at first and lowered my respect for one of the leads.

First off its not a "holiday" movie its a Christmas movie. Get over it if that offends you. Secondly, RELAX people, its a CHRISTMAS MOVIE. On LIFETIME. Its cute, nothing heavy, so if you actually are able to just enjoy things, you'll probably enjoy this movie. Better than I expected, good romantic story. Enjoy.

There is an easy on screen connection between the two leads. Corey Sevier and Julianna Guill are quite a likeable couple as the pilots grounded during the holidays. Since this is Lifetime, the couple have a different profession from the usual Hallmark type Christmas movie. If you ever wondered what happened to pilots during the holidays well It is fairly interesting and not a typical Christmas movie. The dialog is a bit more spontaneous too. Like Cheryl Ladd as mom.

This romantic comedy sees pilot Brady (Corey Sevier) and co-pilot Nina (Julianna Guill), strangers before they are assigned to the same flight, having to share a Christmas holiday together while their flight is grounded due to bad weather. Good performances and nice chemistry between the leads makes for an enjoyable film despite the budgetary shortcomings of the production.
