Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story

I live in Kansas City and am a Chiefs fan but this was a little much.

It was unrealistic and cheesy at times. There were times the acting was bad. The movie seemed low budget as well.

Stores in the area hyped this movie up so much acting like they were in it and we should watch and it wasn't worth it.

There were times I wanted to turn it off and then kept watching thinking it would get better and it didn't. If the plot was better and it was a generic football team maybe it would have been better?!? Maybe. It just seemed like they were shoving the chiefs down everyone's throat like they need more bandwagon fans.

Nope, nada, boring, silly... sorry but where the heck was Christmas??? I think this movie was dreadful!! Hallmark super hyped it up so we would all watch with anticipation- what a huge fumble! I know many people will roll their eyes with this review but hey, it's my opinion. I thought the actors did a good job with what they had to work with but what really threw me was very early on as the leads were sitting around the fire and at some point they stand up and suddenly hold hands.... Nah, it doesn't happen like that, there was very little build up to produce a hand holding at that point in time. The CGI or whatever it's called was so clearly fake. The fact the lead actress would put so much faith in a hat was nothing short of absurdity, she was ready to throw her potential life partner away over a hat- really? As another reviewer stated, it truly was a bumble and a super duper fumble! I gave it a 6 for the acting, some parts were ok especially with the grandfather, I did find him endearing. Sorry Hallmark, you missed your mark with this one.

I thought this was a cute movie. It's sports themed and I loved the little Easter eggs (Donna Kelce, Andy Reid, and older retired players) that showed up in the movie. It's definitely a hallmark movie with the over the top family always trying to butt in. This movie was a nice departure from the usual 'high powered executive woman comes to a small town to fix something ands falls for a small town guy'.

Overall though it was typical hallmark and still a cute Christmas themed movie, although that was not as big a theme as football was. I'd highly recommend watching the movie especially if you're a woman who likes sports and romance.

I will rarely give a Hallmark movie better than a 6, because they're designed to be predictable easy watching. And, that's great. But, as a person that grew up around the KC area, I felt the need to give credit to the writers and filmmakers for their efforts. They made a point, not just to shoot on location, but to include locals and mention major landmarks. I do wish that they'd used native talent, but they were believable Midwesterners, and it did a pretty good job of capturing that spirit. I'm not a football fan, but clearly they included celebrities from the team as well. A must watch for Chiefs fan, just for the cameos.

Well...I am a Chiefs fan; I am a Hunter King fan, and I am a Tyler Hines fan.

But sorry, this was a dud.

I wish I could just stop there, but alas, I must elaborate.

If you're not a Chiefs fan, I don't know how you make it to the end of such a movie. They really laid it on thick.

I didn't find the chemistry between Hines and King very strong at all. The writing was so-so, and the general plot was a little strange.

I did like the supporting cast, and Ed Begley, Jr. Was pretty good as the crotchety old guy.

I thought it was interesting that there was a scene in which the entire family was all getting hammered on eggnog in a Hallmark movie.

I wish I had better things to say. But I don't.
