Best Christmas Ball Ever

Badly written Badly acted The only good things its got for it is the classical music and that it is a christmas movie

Most christmas movies(Hallmark, I am looking at you) are corny, they do not have original stories(There are exceptions of course) but they have some charm, they add just a bit of whatever to make them just slightly different, and the acting makes them unique

This has nothing of what makes the Hallmark movies enjoyable(I actually confused this one with the Hallmark one, which is why I saw it)

The writing is abysmal, like if it was written by someone that does not speak english without any proofreading, there are a lot of little details(Like the uncle is his uncle but not hers? I mean, we could think "Step brothers" but it is implied they are not step) and... well, pretty much everything else, just nonsensical lines and actions.

The acting is like watching that 90's cartoon action league... they are stiff, without passion, without any real acting at all, delivering blandly on screen.

It is a trainwreck of an attempt that was really disappointing.

The uncle belonged to her brother, but he was not her uncle? So why was he the uncle of the brother but not her? Unfortunately I got stuck with that in my head for the entire movie so I missed most of it 😂 This movie in America was called the Great Christmas Ball and was enjoyable to watch on Christmas morning.

I have to admit that the big reveal at the end of the movie was going to occur much earlier.

Anyway, I hope someone can explain to me why the uncle was her brother's uncle, but not her uncle. That really left me wondering for the entire show. Was that her half brother? Was he adopted?

Fun, brainless movie. WWE for women.

The story line is pretty decent and I didn't expect the view of Vienna is that impressive

Every pros and cons of the movie have been mentioned. The Dance scenes are so amazing. Thanks for the camera team. Steady !

Plot sets up an interesting circumstance that leads to a fun romantic back and forth. Well developed by the lead characters.

The dancing, music, costumes and locations are amazing in this movie which is grander, slightly meaner and sexier than the cosy Hallmark style. I totally identify with the leading lady's situation, trying to have a fresh start and with new interests etc after a traumatic experience. It makes sense that she's not super skinny like the regular dancers who train all the time, and all the clothes look great on her - costume department did a lovely job in both the casual and formal wear.

I also enjoyed the subplot of her adopted or half-brother looking for his wider relatives, but I understand why some viewers think the script could have explained that set up more - is Amy adopted? I'd be quite happy to see a sequel continuing the family research on all sides.
