Storyline had some potential for a holiday Christmas romance but that's almost all the movie had going for it.

The lead actress is beautiful and the dresses were gorgeous. The young girl that's getting bullied is a phenomenal singer (if it's really her & not voiceover). That's where the positives end for me.

The acting, while not the worst I've ever seen, fell completely flat. I didn't feel an ounce of chemistry between any of the characters. It felt like they were just saying their lines without any real connection or emotion behind them. The movie was just....boring.

I've been trying to give GAC a chance with their movie lineups but the quality of their content is lacking any appeal for me.

I watched about 20 minutes and I had to stop. The acting was ATROCIOUS. I can't emphasize this enough. I was curious about GAFC since they managed to poach so many Hallmark stars so I decided to turn to the channel & see what kind of movies they were churning out. This movie was on & I was shocked. How anyone that participated in this movie could've possibly thought this was even worth making is absolutely beyond me. I find it hard to believe any professionals in the field thought it was acceptable. It's almost enough to turn me off from the channel but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and give a few more of their movies a shot but if they're anything like Christmas Lovers Anonymous, my expectations are incredibly low. Personally, I feel as if Hallmark movies have gotten more inclusive, funnier, & more original this year. If GAFC is going to compete, they must've realized they needed better talents. Save yourself the time & avoid this movie.

There are a LOT of 1 star reviews & definitely do t think this movie is THAT bad. It also doesn't warrant the very few 10 star reviews. Is it GOOD? No. It's also not the worst thing imaginable.

While I didn't enjoy the use of all the modern songs, the singing & performances themselves were good. In my opinion, most of the actors sang pretty well (especially Camila & Idina-duh- & Nicholas Galitzine). The acting also wasn't bad. I think a lot of the reviewers took the movie far more seriously than what was intended & that's the reason for the poor reviews. The movie was quirky & had quite a few chuckle-worthy moments. That being said, there were DEFINITELY quite a few cringeworthy moments that I could've done without (the town crier & marching band feel? Just no.). This move was just alright. Not as bad as I expected it to be, but definitely not good. It's a shame cause the singing & acting wasn't bad (in my opinion). Cringeworthy with some chuckles is my overall assessment.

Also, I'm not sure why so many people dislike James Corden! I think he's really funny. I liked him in this. "Front tail" lmao!

Go in to the movie without high expectations & with the realization that it shouldn't be taken seriously & you may get some giggles out of it.
