Christmas on My Mind

Ashley Greene of Twiglight looks beautiful in this Christmas movie. Why isn't she on TV more? She is paired with Hallmark regular Andrew Walker. A woman falls and loses her memory for the last 2 years thinking she is still engaged to her previous boyfriend. It's fairly intriguing to see how she gets back her memory. How is she going to choose between her ex and her new fiancé? This movie looks a bit better than the average Hallmark movie.

Love the acting. Can't wait to see Ashley in more movies!! Love the leading man in all the movies he's in. Cute friends and great imagery.

I find it a pity that the beginning is far too rushing. The whole of the first scenes is not really credible....... Of course this is a romanticized film or everything is beautiful. But at what point in the most beautiful life, you become amnesiac with a little shock to the head, and you make it awaken by Santa Claus two seconds later. Then stumble upon are ex boyfriends. You see the first five minutes, you get an hour and a half. ......... Beyond this, the realization is average, make snowman without gloves, light outfits for the season. Lucy's house is quite exaggerated in the immensity, besides the entrance looks like a town hall or a party room. Adrew Walker has the merit of playing his role perfectly. When Ashley greene, she's unconvincing.

7/10 - lovely and, for Hallmark standards, unique holiday fare

Compared to all movies: 6.0. Compared to Hallmark Movies: 7.7.

By experimental I mean as far as intrigue and out of the ordinary a plot, this movie is a bit that.

I enjoyed the little breadcrumbs the writer(s) gave us along the way to indicate the mystery behind past events. These were interwoven precisely leading to the reveal. I felt it was almost masterful in that respect (for a Hallmark film), but the ending was a bit predictable. On the other hand, although predictable, the last 15 minutes were really good, as were the first 30 minutes. The rest is ordinary.

"It took me forgetting who I was to remember who I am".

The amnesia was original in it's own respect, however, it was presented a bit oddly. Why was everyone so calm and blasé about it? Acute memory loss is usually indicative of a traumatic brain injury (even in light of the negative brain scans). Also, it's strange how a person's very essence could shift 180 degrees to the point they have been lying to themselves, and all of their friends so profoundly. The amnesia seems a cry for help. But it's all part of the mystery.

It was entertaining enough, although missing the x-factor. The acting, sets, lighting, and music were satisfactory. Also, it's not difficult to sit through a film when everyone is so easy to look at. I get this feeling that these Hallmark actors are of a higher pedigree. Why aren't they performing in more mainstream stuff? I hesitate to explore this, I might not like what I find.

I must mention that I am seeing a Hallmark movie trend: the main characters are usually wealthy artists, musicians, and philanthropists. I am waiting for a film where they are blue collar, not wealthy, or gifted. Fingers crossed.
