Christmas in the Spotlight

Overall, this was a watchable movie, that describes a somewhat steamy affair between two attractive stars, which, apparently, leads to real love. Considering the personalities, how durable? At least three aspects of the production make me question it. For one, and this is becoming common in movies, it confers excessive emphasis on the role of a child getting involved in adults love relations. Maybe, I am willing to consider it, children are not the same I remember in my generation. Second, the dramas are overplayed. The need to keep the relationship between the leads a secret, and the way they go about it, seems unnecessary, and ridiculously enacted.

The family strains are also too harsh and feel forced in the contest. Third, why is this a "Christmas movie"? Either than the events occurring at year's end, the story has no real connection with this holiday and its values. It could have happened at Easter, during Ramadan, or any other time of the year, without changing an iota of its spirit.

Lifetime, in the past two years, has markedly pulled out of the frenzy of Christmas movies competition. I believe it has been a wise decision.

6.2/10 (Recommend)

The only thing that drew me to this movie is the whole mock recreation of Taylor Swift's relationship with Travis Kelce, but in all honesty it turned out way better than I expected. It's definitely a cheesy romance film, but it actually has heart and passion. The chemistry amongst all the actors is superb. The family feels like a family, the players feel like a team, and the relationship feels like a genuine relationship. The story is good and kind of sort of lines up with a T-Swift story. Most people don't care about a famous persons love life, but trying to see the sense of having a normal life while balancing the craziness of the profession one chose can be kind of sweet. Honestly, I would recommend adding it to your Christmas watchlist this year. Yeah, it's a cheesy romance, but it's one that you'll be cheering for every yard of the way until the touchdown finally hits.

That's it for now. Thanks for taking time to read my review. Happy watching and enjoy the show!

Such a cute movie with just the right amount of cringe. Decent script with some taylor and travis references sprinkled in. The acting was really good and the plot and storyline made sense. Was able to predict the next scene sometimes but it wasn't too obvious. The cast were really attractive so that made up for the parts that were a bit cringy. Wasn't expecting to like this movie so much but i'm glad I watched it. Just sent a message in my friend group chat telling them it's a must watch.

This is definitely a light watch with friends and was just the right amount of christmas!!! Would be great to put on during a girls holiday gathering. Loved it !!!!

A lot of times I watch the Christmas movies, That my favorite actors/ actresses are in!🤔 I didnt know these, But i saw the commercial and wanted to see it, Because i thought she was an Ice Skater, & he a well known ball Football player!🙂 That would be a different Christmas movie, Than the other typical others🙂👍 .

But then i found out, She is a popiular & famous Singer!🤔 Stil didnt compare to another movie!🤔 But then unfortunately, Everyone started camparing it, To Taylor & Kelce relationship & That almost ruined it!☹ I came very close to changing my mind!🙄😁😁😁😁

Im sure Taylor is NOTHING like Jessica n this show!

🙄😁😁😁😁😁

I really enjoyed this one. It was my first Lifetime Christmas movie and I didn't know Lifetime has a more liberal policy than Hallmark in terms of showing the male actors shirtless. As a direct consequence of that, I loved this movie.

The name lead, Laith Wallschleger, is insanely hot and had at least 2-3 scenes where he took his shirt off and we were able to lovingly gaze on his enormous muscles. One of these scenes was actually in a football team locker room, and that really did certain things for me.

I think there were some female characters in the movie too, but don't ask me anything about them.

Casting Laith was a really inspired choice. I will watch everything he ever appears in from here onto eternity.
