फ़ीचर्ड समीक्षाएं
I have watched a lot of Christmas movies in the last month and honestly this was one of the worst so far; I can't believe the rather well known cast members agreed to be in it. It is basically a very poorly done remake of Groundhog Day. The characters were barely developed and I didn't care about any of them. So much of this movie was just plain stupid and annoying, from the miscast lead, to the way-too-good-looking ex boyfriend, to the undeveloped plot, to the unanswered questions. The causes for the behaviors of the characters were never even explained, just a lot of vague innuendo...what a mess. Basically I wish I had the two hours back.
As cute as this may be all it is, is a twisted version of Groundhog Day. As usual another fake remake of an original. I guess writers have no new ideas these days.
Am not somebody who hates Christmas or has a bias against made for television Christmas films. The complete opposite on both counts and have made that clear more than once and will continue to do so if necessary (though am refraining as much as possible from reiterating too much). The premise did sound quite interesting and seemed like it was trying to do something a little different. So watched 'A Christmas Wedding Date' with the intent to like it.
Sadly, there are just too many flaws with 'A Christmas Wedding Date' for me to do that. It's not entirely terrible and has a few good things, but there is a lot wrong with it and it is another film where the worst of the bad things are executed pretty terribly. A case of a pretty decent premise not done anywhere near enough with and with mediocre at best execution. Am usually, or at least there is the attempt to be, a balanced and encouraging person when reviewing films, television etc. But 'A Christmas Wedding Date' is one of those films where it is not always easy to take that attitude.
There are a few good things. Marla Sokoloff gives her absolute all without over-acting, did find her character too excessively mean but Sokoloff injects a lot of passion and also some poignancy later on. Catherine Hicks is also good and makes much out of too little to do. George Wendt intrigues.
Did think too that there were pleasant moments in the soundtrack.
Unfortunately, 'A Christmas Wedding Date' has a lot wrong. Chris Carmack to me was incredibly bland and doesn't look at ease in his incredibly sketchy and too perfect role. The characters are too caricaturish with one or two character traits at best and most are poorly used, mostly underused. Most of the supporting cast are forgettable from having so little to work with and a few add nothing to the story.
It's a film that also doesn't look particularly good, with especially cheap editing. The script has an awkward flow and is often cheesy and at times melodramatic. The story suffers from tedious pacing, excessively vague character motivations, a lot of contrivance and nothing being surprising, could see the ending from miles away.
Concluding, weak. 3/10.

Marla Solokoff is so good here. The character is pleasant enough most of the time, but eventually she is really nice. But I liked her best when she was having a good time, knowing she would not gain weight or have to pay for huge purchases on her (former) company's credit card, or spend time in jail. Her efforts to improve herself and get her man are really enjoyable.
The cab driver is well played by George Wendt (who has several roles),
Chris Carmack is good enough, and he even sings, but not well enough for me to believe he will be a big country star.
Catherine Hicks does a great job as Rebecca's mom.
There is plenty of good Christmas music, but also a lot of what I consider junk.
This is no masterpiece but it is a pleasant and even funny fantasy for the holidays.

You've seen this before, with the genders reversed for a different calendar date as "Groundhog Day," but no matter. This is a charming little film and the two leads make for great eye candy.
