Um Natal no Rancho

I loved it was a christmas movie about lesbians, and the cowgirl helped this movie out a lot, but it's 100% cheesy, and the movie could have been made better if they put just a little bit more effort. Plus, it drove me nuts they decided to call the grandmother "me-maw". I know people that call their grandmother that, but it just sounded so stupid in this movie. Was that done on purpose? And what rancher drives anything but a truck? A Mitsubishi SUV, really? Maybe it's because I'm from Texas, but SURELY SOMEONE in the film crew drove a Chevy or a Ford F150! I know it's low budget, but there were so many opportunities to make this film more believable had they just put 10% more effort into it. Instead it gave me an opportunity to mock a movie for an hour... just my girlfriend's luck!

The film is not too original in its plot, a successful and beautiful city woman goes back to her family living in an indebted family ranch where she also meets someone new. It is a feel good Christmas romance with nice cosy atmosphere, likeable characters, romance, family drama and a bit of humour. I think it is great - we need more wlw feel good movies, especially during the holidays.

I was looking forward to something to get me into the holiday spirit, something nice and calm. I decided on this title because it looked like it might have some nice scenery... I live on a ranch and the sights here are some of the most beautiful I'd ever seen.

Well, anyways, it started off slow and boring and went down from there. Save your time and don't watch it.

I don't want to give it away for anyone who still wants to watch, but it's the typical romance storyline you've seen a million times.. everything you'd expect to happen, happens. There's no mystery, not 'wow', nothing. It's a "mhm, yep, as I thought" type of boredom.

Always glad to see Hallmark showing Christmas movies that represent a wider array of people in their love stories and family constellations rather than just the go-to generic white heterosexual couple. It's great to see different ethnicites and/or sexual orientations in the lead, and not just as the token friend/colleague/family member.

People who whine about Hallmark kicking family values and morals in the gutter can take several seats and read up on Jesus' teachings. It's not your job to judge or hate, it is your job to open you heart and home and love others. Don't disrespect Jesus this CHRISTmas Holiday Season by spreading hate and disowning loved ones for being born different than you.

I really enjoyed the setting, characters, and clever dialogue of this holiday movie. This movie is funny and the interactions feel believable and not awkward. All the holiday romance movie clichés are covered, but this movie is not heavily steeped in Christmas. The snowy ranch scenery is just gorgeous - and we get Lindsay Wagner! That is a definite bonus. The script is very clever and all the actors delivered compelling performances. The production quality is top notch and my only knock would be that the sound editing is uneven at times. I would watch a sequel or even a television show based on the premise of this movie.
