Sotto il cielo di Natale

The movie definitely had some issues that others have addressed -- such as the problem of Chicago versus Texas in the future. Whether the future works out for the two or not, the best thing I took from the movie was it made her admit to what she really wanted -- a relationship more like her parents. Where the spouse or significant other was of major importantance. Making her realize how ridiculous her "boyfriend" was/is is a worthwhile outcome for the movie, whether she ends up with the cowboy or just an awareness of what she really needs and wants.

Seeing how totally inconsiderate the boyfriend is and how totally "unaware" he is of a girl he has supposedly been with for 3 years made it nice to see her break up with him. Would have been even better if she had turned him down in front of the crowd, but her character was apparently too nice to do that -- even though he was NOT too nice to do it in the first place. All these movies tend to have a ridiculous "boyfriend" who is jerk or just not a right fit, but this guy was a complete piece of crap. Everything was about him and what he wanted and when he wanted it. Definitely needed a major smackdown.

What a wonderful Christmas Hallmark movie. Great scenes, acting and western theme. The horseback riding made the movie even more exciting. And I especially love how Bull sang such a beautiful song. Someone should give him a singing contract. Keep making more of these joyful movies with love and happy endings. And thanks for keeping the music off when the actors are speaking, so one can hear every word clearly. I would have liked Holly to act more natural and not perpetually smile throughout, however.

I loved this magical Hallmark movie and gave it a 6. It would have been a higher rating if Holly did not overact and also come on too strongly with Luke when she was engaged. The parents were delightful in this movie. Wonder where Holly and Luke will live after they marry, since they both have jobs in different states.

I'm pretty well done with country Christmas movies and have been for years. I checked this one b/c I recognized Sarah Carter from Shark and was curious. It's a really cute, feel-good movie with lots of chuckles and a memorable song (sung by George Canyon) too. The parents (Neil Crone and Kathleen Laskey) are excellent. I really liked this movie and saved it to watch again.

Normal Hallmark Christmas movie fare, One Starry Christmas is definitely cheesy and sappy sweet. Sarah Carter is completely adorable as Holly, she really made the movie worth watching. Her character also has quite an enviable collection of winter coat/hat ensembles for a student! The singing cowboy bit was a tiny bit painful to watch, but any scene with Kathleen Laskey and Neil Crone as Holly's parents was just a hoot! I can relate to her Dad's running obsession with sweets.

This movie has it all. Romance, cowboys, humor, horses, and true love. To boot, it's also chock full of pretty winter wonderland scenes and city lights.

I don't think many Hallmark Christmas movies will ever win an acclaimed award, but they always manage to capture some of the magic of the season, and for me, that's enough.

Really enjoyed this one. Interesting storyline situation develops and the characters do a good job bringing it to life.
