Midnight at the Magnolia

I personally love the trope of best friends falling in love or childhood best friends being in love the whole time and I am always looking out for films and shows with this theme so I was waiting for this to come out eagerly. This film has everything that I want from it but it lacks the main ingredients of chemistry, direction and dialogue delivery which makes a film... A film! I felt like someone just read a book and transferred the great plot of the book onto the screen quiet literally page by page. The male lead did his best but he and his co-star just had no chemistry... I mean for a moment I thought maybe this film is going towards the direction where they both realize that they are better off as best friends. They both looked perfectly happy being best friends if the plot didn't tell me as an audience via every other character that they are meant to be and how much they have always loved each other, I probably would've never known.

This romantic movie has a bit of a backward problem. It is one of the first *good friends turn into more* movies where I bought the *good friends* way better than the romance. The move has two characters who have been friends forever and happen to have an AM radio show in Chicago. But this doesn't quite work for me. How does that happen? Ie. your best friend from childhood gets a hosting job with you on radio? Seems improbable. Since all their listeners want them together anyway, they get the great idea to pretend to be a couple to boost ratings and get a syndication deal. The only problem is that this movie failed to provide any hint of a romance. The main male character, Jack, is wonderful but he doesn't do any of the particular things men in love do. No long looks at his beautiful best friend. No jealousy at other people looking at his hot BFF. In fact he doesn't seem to be interested in the female lead at all. The female lead is not particularly a great actress but I do buy that she has always had a thing for Jack which is getting in the way of other relationships. It isn't bad, and it is enjoyable. but you won't really get the UST you might be looking for.

A simple but sweet HOLIDAY LOVE STORY with a heart-warming couple and good chemistry to match.

No hidden Hollywood Agenda, just classic good joyful entertaining that NEVER GETS OLD.

My son told me he was watching this so I decided to watch it too. I'm not sure i would of picked it otherwise but im happy I watched it.

I thought it was a really good movie. Sweet and a nice feel good to it.

The leads and cast were great too. Although it was set after Christmas day, it was still festive enough.

This is number 36 out of 100 for my 100 Christmas movies before Christmas day challenge with 45 days to go. Can I do this challenge?

This is a good movie and I will watch this again.

A romantic Christmas comedy. It's about the best friends who have a radio show and in it they talk about how difficult it is to introduce their partners to their families, so they decide to make it massive because of publicity, but everything goes wrong when they don't accept and decide to pretend they are a couple. Entertaining A movie for television. Performances that are good. Organic jokes that are more focused on an audience in their thirties, as well as the main characters are seen very everyday. The leading couple have chemistry on screen. Talk about expressing how we feel to the person we love. Nice Sunday.
