Hitched for the Holidays

Not different by many others Christmas movies, using the same sweet romanticism, with few drops of religion, solitude and ...a horse, it is only nice. and this is the good point. because , in this case, the most important detail could be the status of hot chocolate film. and, few good performances and few references to classic scenes of genre are enough for ignore the not inspired parts and the unrealistic scenes. but the real great thing is the science to use the well known recipe of genre. in simple manner, without many innovations, it is the typical Christmas film - comfortable, nice and romantic.

Would have enjoyed much more of there were closed captions.

This is a bit quirkier take on the plot device where two strangers need to pretend to be in a relationship for the holidays. I enjoyed quite a few laughs as this Jewish girl agrees to this with a Catholic boy.

Their first rule is no touching and they break it about 10 seconds later when Julie sees the office creep and grabs Rob and kisses him. In fact this movie probably has more kissing than I've seen in any of these Hallmark friendly movies.

They keep getting into little dilemmas where they have to do some quick thinking that usually leads to a "white" lie. At one point, Rob's whole Catholic family pretends to be Jewish because Rob and Julie have told her family that he is Jewish. Admittedly this isn't PC which hopefully can be forgiven, but it is funny.

Joey Lawrence and Emily Hampshire are cute together.

This story is a nice change on the theme and takes a tiny twist at the end.

Not sure why Lisa Bishop has to reduce this to a sexist moan as it wasn't written to be sexist! Such a shame and so unnecessary.

This is a simple little story that draws you in. It I has an easy storyline and is nice to watch and become involved in.

The characters are believable and enjoyable. The story is often predictable but that does not detract from the overall plot which still surprises at moments. There are some great moments in it where you want to hide in embarrassment but this is because in a way they are believable!

It doesn't have to have big expectations because that is what it is!

Settle down on a cold wet afternoon in front of a fire and enjoy!

There have been several of these "fake boyfriend/girlfriend" Hallmark Christmas movies over the years, but this was one of the early ones, and it delivered. The Catholic "boyfriend' pretending to be Jewish was funny. The actors' takes to him blowing out the Minora candles cracks us up.

There are lots of laugh and chuckle moments, and that's what you're watching these for in the first place. Yeah, a good romance story is nice. This didn't have the "best" bonding structure between the romantic leads, but it worked well enough.

We've seen this a few times now, and i think we like it better every time.
