Marrying Father Christmas

6/10 - yet another completely average 2018 Christmas film

I Have Reviewed OVER 500 "Christmas Films and Specials". Please BEWARE Of films and specials with just one review! For instance When "It's a POSITIVE" chances are that the reviewer was involved with the production. "If its Negative" then they may have a grudge against the film for whatever reason. I am fare about these films.

What I like about this film was that this is the third film (maybe there will be a fourth) in a series of films in this Hallmark Christmas Movie. The first two films were "Finding Father Christmas" and "Engaging Father Christmas". Now this one is called "Marrying Father Christmas" and the message this film cleverly does makes this film one that you will long remember in the years to come.

In this film Erin Krakow once again stars as Miranda Chester. She runs the emotional range here from "a-b" but it works! In this Miranda is about to get married. She is closing up her shop in Boston for the holidays and is about to get married on Christmas. At the last minute a man wants to hire her services but she politely declines because of her "Time Restraints".

A day later she sees the man in Vermont (And he looks like Dru for Despicable Me) and she is puzzled. The thing is this man might throw a money wrench into her plans.

Third in a trilogy (!) of romantic dramas following 'Finding Father Christmas' and 'Engaging Father Christmas' - see what they did there? As a couple (Erin Krakow, Niall Matter) prepare for their wedding, a stranger arrives in town claiming to be a relative. The performances are OK (although the male lead looks a bit bored), it's nicely filmed, but it's very tame, nothing exciting happens, and everyone is overly nice. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for an afternoon doze.

It took me a while to watch this. This series is SO lovely and sweet, and this is no exception. Just as good as the first two. There is no special plot, just Miranda trying to find out who this mystery guy is while spending time with family and planning her wedding.

The chemistry between the whole cast is amazing but the chemistry between Niall Matter and Erin Krakow is just exceptional, even better than in the last two movies. The wedding scene was so emotional, for several reasons.

The only reason I will accept a fourth movie is if they do a little time jump and we find these two with a child. Otherwise, this is the perfect closure.

Miranda and Ian met in Finding Father Christmas, got engaged in Engaging Father Christmas, and are now set to get married in Marrying Father Christmas.

Of course there has to be drama and another long lost family member. But is Uncle Charlie legit or just a swindler?

Cute end to the trilogy.
