Christmas in the Rockies

Are you kidding? I'm not even going to bother reviewing the story - a romcom's pretty much a romcom, so don't expect art. But there's nothing about this that even tries. Women do lumberjack competitions, but they train as hard as the men and are totally badass. We're supposed to buy that this little ball of fluff is going to grab an axe and just step in? Puh-leeze.

But the part that's really offensive is that this was shot in Ontario, on the other side of the country from the Rockies. Like, 3500 km away from the mountains that are Right Behind Them all through this movie. That's cynical and fraudulent. You wanna make a movie about (something) in the Rockies? The least you can do is buy a bus ticket and go there.

So apparently there is a shortage of actors in the 50 to 70 year old range. Well I know that's not true so I am guessing that Mike Shara was originally cast as the love interest but got demoted to playing the father when Stephen Huszar, more well known to TV romance fans became available. The father and daughter were played by actors who were the same age. It was creepy. And I don't think "ick" is what you go for in a Christmas movie. Couldn't they have made him her brother?

A Christmas In The Rockies.....Yes corny, yes cheesy, bad acting, poor casting. Yes all lumberjacks daughter's are lumberjacks too. It's in their blood and their hair, makeup, and clothes always look perfect even while working out. Yes her father was 1 year old when she was born....but I don't really expect anything else from these movies. They are soooooooo far from reality that it makes me laugh. Plus extremely predictable. The only interesting character in the movie was the man who played Grandpa Sam. Please Santa buy some acting lessons for Mike Shara. Anyway Merry Christmas everyone. God bless.

This TV romance is even less believable than usual. The movie is centred around a Lumberjack competition for $50,000. I found myself singing Monty Python's Lumberjack song as the movie went on. The acting is not good and the plot is corny as hell. Only watch if incredibly bored.

Why???? Why isn't the dad in his 60s?!

I'm not paying a bit of attention to the story at all, so can't really say if it's good or not, but the age thing really threw me through a loop. It's yet another Christmas moving with the same music as the rest.

I have to come up with filler words because the required characters are 600 and I don't understand why. I see many other reviews much shorter than this and now you're stuck reading this blabber.

Jingle bells, jingle bells 63 to go.

Santa, reindeer, snow balls, elfs, Christmas tree.
