Unwrapping Christmas: Tina's Miracle

I know not to expect too much from Hallmark Christmas movies, yet I was still underwhelmed. The actors were awful, the storyline was ridiculous, and the chemistry between the romantic leads was non-existent. It's a good thing that there are three more of these crapfests in the Unwrapping Christmas movie series to watch. And yes, I'm still going to watch them because I'm a glutton for punishment and there's always a teeny, tiny, itsy, bitsy chance that one of the four might be tolerable. I love a good Hallmark Christmas movie but sadly this was not one of them...

Why, oh why do I do this to myself???

Did Natalie forgot how to act,felt so annoying or wooden.. Unfortunately you learn to not expect much,in Hallmark movies these days.

Was a boring story & didn't really feel just because it was all decorated for Christmas,that it had that magical type of charm.. Obviously not every story needs to be a cheery topic,but it really should make you feel something.

The music during several scenes always felt overwhelming,as though it was pushing the narrative in that scene.

Such a clichéd movie & the leads chemistry just was awkward,he didn't come across right or something when talking & them having anything together felt out of touch.. Hallmark made the daughter sound like she was challenged & although dyslexia can be complicated,was just oddly handled too.

Overall the actors chosen to acting was,very average & cinematography was decently done.

Will not make a rewatch list,instead will be watching better holiday ones.

I enjoy these movies. I really do. But I am picky about my leads. They need to have chemistry, the men need to have personality, and being able to act is a huge must. These Unwrapping movies are just awful. Where did they find these guys??

This one in particular, the male lead talks like English isn't his first language. He is not believable as a father or the owner of some huge company. Natalie Hall is fine but she needed someone way better than this guy. The writing is not good, however, and a lot of the supporting cast can't act either. Just pretty awful all around. This one is so bad I do not plan to suffer through the other three.

The story was ok and the guy didn't annoy me as much as the girl did.

She was very weepy. She also said "Michael" so many times, I was cringing. It was like in almost every sentence she spoke to him. She did the same when speaking to her "Dad". I don't know what her purpose was for doing it, but it sure was annoying.

Not sure that this is a writer thing as much as the actress inserting it herself. I couldn't bear to watch this ever again.

The idea of the wrapping business is interesting but I have no idea how a business like that can survive year round with 4 main people plus other employees.

They have a great cast of female leads for the first three stories. I don't like Cindy because to me her performances always seem forced.

So far I like the stories. This one was interesting as a mystery of sorts. I already watched the second and I see that each story is cleverly woven together with the others.

I don't care for three of the four male leads though. Not everyone can pull off the haggard disheveled look and the guy in this movie is one of them. His background story was a bit muddled and I didn't get the story of his company. So I may watch it again. Overall I liked it and love the women's relationships with their families and each other.
