Ivy & Mistletoe

I'm sure the theme of the movie was intended to be cute and romantic, but it fell short on being engaging. It felt as if it were lacking in genuinity and the actors, many of them, their characters felt forced and the overacting was very obvious. The makeup on the main character ivy, was overdone, she is an attractive woman and did not need her makeup to be quite so heavy. I know many people have commented on Michelle's plastic surgery but it is a personal choice which she made regardless of who agrees or disagrees. I personally feel it definitely was not needed as she does not look natural now, but I am not in the pressure of the expectations of movie and TV actors, so again to each his or hers own. Overall, the movie had a sweetness to it, if you could get through the overacting and what felt low budget. I would not watch it again but I have also seen worse.

Horrible acting Horrible cinematography Horrible editing Did I say horrible?

No need to worry about any spoilers here as the only thing spoiled from watching this "movie" is your afternoon, evening....well, your time in general!

Not a bad story idea yet very poorly executed And now I have nothing else to say about the movie other than to say that I'm going to keep typing until I get to the minimum required characters to be able to post this review in order to somehow save anyone else from somehow wasting any of their time downloading this watching it And not even realizing where this "movie" originated in the first place. I can't imagine that this was even an old Hallmark movie because as BNC level as Hallmark movies can be this is way below that and I'll stop now because my wife thinks I'm being overly harsh.

I thought it was a cute ok movie but I couldn't get past the extreme plastic surgery that Julianne Michelle had. She didn't look normal. Not trying to be rude...

This movie is like a C grade student's movie project. It's awful. The camerawork is laughable. There are a lot of strange shots. I think it's supposed to be artistic but there is nothing entertaining about looking at a glass for 20 seconds.

The acting is really wooden and this is not helped by the awful makeup artist that was released on the poor females. If they were going for "Romulan spies" then they nailed it. Why have their eyebrows been shaped at such a severe angle??!!

Ivy reminds me of one of the marionettes from the Sound of Music. She is completely unbelievable. This is probably largely due to the terrible script. The rest of the cast aren't any better.

The continuity and pace of the movie is strange. Where did the dog appear from? Suddenly the family have a dog that was never referenced before.

The soundtrack is awful. You don't expect much from TV movies, but this is one of the worst I've been subjected to.

Avoid!!!!

Not too hard to understand, easy to anticipate plot involving a young woman from a small town, living in the big city, yearns to return to simpler lifestyle. BF in the city wants to climb the corporate ladder, but doesn't realize how its done. He goes on a business trip, she goes by herself on a week long 'get away,' to a small town, simliar to where she grew up...

When she gets there, she finds out the place she's staying at is run by a widower, and his very business like daughter.

You should be able to guess the rest.....

Some of the acting is OK, some of it shows a lack of experience, but again, what did you expect. It made me feel good, even if some of the actors are just starting out, or haven't been in this type of production perviously.
