Un Natale da Corgi

That I get sucked in to all the schmaltzy sap that are these standard predictable ridiculous holiday movies, short on romance and long on nothing else. And how come there is no affection or kissing or anything actually remotely romantic until the last scene? Just once I'd like to see a tongue jamming spit swapping kiss or two sweaty actors laying in each other's arms after a good romp. Instead we get a kiss that all to often looks painful, as if to say, God I hate this guy. Why did I ever take this part? Oh yeah. Because I'm not good enough to get a real role anywhere else. At least here they look like their mouth is open but no hint of a tongue anywhere. I swear the writers are just out of ideas so they stick to strict formula plots hoping it'll just work. It's like throwing something at a wall hoping it'll stick no matter how messy it is. With this one they mistakenly thought that throwing a puppy into the central theme mix would make it interesting. The acting is not the worst thing about this one and as far as I'm concerned the only thing redeemable about this movie is looking at Kevin and having a fantasy.

This is not a good Christmas movie or a good dog movie. The scenes are awkward, boring and slow. The dog scenes are especially poorly done. The acting is not great but that could be due to the terrible script including some especially bad dialogue, even by dog-Christmas-movie standards. Hard pass.

Even very very cute Kevin McGarry from the later seasons of "Heartland" and the very cute dogs couldn't save "A Very Corgi Christmas." Also, I very obv. wasn't amused that the main girl's cute bubbly sister who could have saved the film for me was a c word. :((

I switched to this movie and it appears to have one Corgi who appears fairly irregularly.

Admittedly I have only watched half an hour of it but less than 3 minutes of Corgi.

For it to be a Very Corgi Christmas I'd expect at least 3 Corgis to be in screen for a minimum of 50% of the whole film.

Very disappointing.

This is the story of a single mom, who doesn't really like Christmas anymore because that's the time of year when her husband died and she has to work for a promotion instead of spending time with her kid. She meets a single dad when she takes her kid to her parents house. Oh! And due to not communicating with her parents or her sister, her parents aren't there...they are out of town on vacation. She was counting on them watching her son while she worked. The single dad is crazy about Christmas and is a handy contractor!

The single dad is played by Kevin McGarry and he was wonderful...he and the kids...and the corgi puppy, really carried the movie instead of their star, Kelly Kruger, who was an unbelievable mother. I can't believe that he would fall in love with or choose to be with Kelly Kruger's character. My other real complaint is about the music...it was terrible. I don't say that lightly either.

This is another holiday movie where the spouse has been killed off. I'm not sure why, it's not very Christmas-y. I wish they would stop with the dead parents and divorcees in Holiday movies...it's depressing and I watch holiday movies to be up lifted.

The puppy is adorable and Kevin McGarry is really lovely...but they are the only real reasons to watch this holiday romance.

Time does only go one way.
