A Mermaid for Christmas

Cmon, am I the only one that is a bit sick of fake snowy christmas films that you can see how it ends after 2 minutes! Unlike this film, I loved the fantasy element and the playful cast. You def have to have a fantasy mindset while watching this but it harkens back to the 80's which is my era...silly hijinks and romance all set in Marina Del Rey California...just sand and ZERO snow! And as I am soap fan, it was so fun to see a few of my favorite actors in a movie! Who would have thought. I think we all need a little fantasy in our lives, as the reality is pretty sad right now with online dating and such.

I'm a sucker for cheesy Christmas movies. This one started out very promising (the backstory was done very nicely) but the movie went downhill quickly.

Why is every actor screaming their lines and super mad?!? I'm disappointed that it's not just a cheesy movie, but it's an unwatchable, very bad cheesy Christmas movie.

It's so bad that I googled it, so I could find a place to leave a review. I also took the time to reset my imbd password to get in. SMH

Loved seeing my favorite soap stars in this cute holiday flick, a fun film for the family. Stay Tuned after the credits for some bloopers 😁 Hope they make some more movies like this.

The acting/directing was really bad, like high-school drama class without any restraint or good taste. Did they even rehearse? I found this movie to be unwatchable, even though I tend to give Christmas movies a pass on qualify of production and acting.

... American cannot act anymore. Valley girl accents haunt every picture. Perhaps they could act if they had the right Director; or actors from Montana? Or a director that cuts all the superficial rubbish, superfluous facial gestures, endless non-essential body movements, etc., etc. I know people thrive on "feelgood" but does it have be this dystopian? I don't expect Shakespeare but is there any middle ground? If the problem is having a writer as director I understand, but it just seems like Splash 2 is going to break out and that sickening sound effect from Darrell Hannah will be replaced as whale suffering death throws of pleasure or pain...perhaps both. Ooppsies out takes at the end just increases the dysfunctional feel of: "when it will all end"?? I love Christmas and being away from Hollyweed I realise how huge the Christmas film bonanza is. Only satisfied if it tortures the Christmas haters. Try getting a mermaid tail that does not expose your feet even if you're in the waves.
