A '90s Christmas

I like Hallmark movies, and I even like the cheesy Hallmark movies. This was, however, SO bad that after it's over I'm angry. The idea for the movie was good, but it did not remotely deliver - hence the frustration. The writing, acting, casting, costumes & makeup, even the sets - no real thought to the eras they're in, how to make it believable, or why we should care. The mom was good (I actually could believe she was grieving) and the ride share driver/spirit? Angel? Was likable. One star for each. But dear god, the rest of it was unwatchable.

For good time travel Christmas movies watch: Journey Back to Christmas, Kristin's Christmas Past, A Shoe Addict's Christmas, A Timeless Christmas, and one for Hanukkah - Round and Round. They're good! And I'll still be waiting for a good time travel '90s centered movie.

Perfect Christmas time travel movie.

This is about a successful lawyer who revisits her past. It's all very mysterious as to why or how this is happening.

The music is excellent and moves the story along. The acting is spot on perfectly executed. Is emotional at times but never over the top Not so complex that you have to be glued to the screen. Is an easy viewing. I recommend giving it a chance. Nostalgia can be a lot of fun. And you might not be able to time travel. Although if you have lost touch or neglected an old friend or relative you can call and reconnect and let them know you care.

My partner and I love the 90s and so were really excited to watch a ridiculous Christmas movie about traveling back in time, however, this has NOTHING to do with the 90s. It's almost as if no one in the movie actually lived through them. The clothing was just modern Christmas. The makeup was 2024. There was one 90s song and that was it. If someone didn't explicitly tell you this was 1999, you would never, ever know it. Also, to go from supposedly 44 to 19-years-old all she did was remove her fake glasses (yes, they legitimately had no lenses). I was ready for a trip down memory lane and they absolutely did not deliver.

"Next Stop, Christmas", "Christmas at the Plaza" and "A Biltmore Christmas" are my three favourite Hallmark Christmas time travel movies.

"A 90's Christmas" - despite it's Joshua Jackson, Lou Bega, Palm Pilot and Y2K references - isn't quite on the same level as that trio, but it's a fun film that admittedly takes a little while to get going. The finale is worth the wait.

Eva Bourne is great as workaholic, friendless but professionally successful lawyer Lucy. She is given a chance by a mysterious ride share driver Grace (Katherine Barrell) to go back to her home town of Milwaukee for Christmas 1999 to right some wrongs.

There are some fun moments and some poignant ones, and the montage right near the end of the movie - no spoilers here! - was touchingly done.

Glad I stuck with this one, despite an uneven first fifteen or twenty minutes.

I am fan of time travel movies. I couldn't find the elements of surprise and suspense in the story line bcz most of it was predictable.

Furthermore, the landmarks. It was shot in Canada and a scene that shows the transition from "Nicola Tesla road" in Hamilton, ON to a bridge in Turkey (Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge (Third Bosphorus Bridge)) which is used to showcase Chicago/Milwaukee, doesn't make sense. Any body would identify that Chicago/Milwaukee don't have such bridge. Don't confuse it with the bridge in San Francisco because it is not.

Otherwise it was a good movie for its genre. I recommend it over other Christmas movies.
