Blending Christmas

The movie was almost as painful to watch as it looked like it was for Haylie Duff to make. She seemed miserable in this movie. While it is great to see a star studded cast, the writing and dialogue were not good and the scenes were disjointed. Not adding this one to my list of holiday favorites.

I thought this was a cute little homage to old Sitcom stars. Many of the original cast of the king of sitcoms, The Brady Bunch, was in this, including Cousin Oliver! Jennifer Elise Cox even had a role. She was the actress who played Jan in The Brady Bunch movie (Marsha, Marsha Marsha!) and pretty much stole the show. She has her moment in this one with her "Michelle, Michelle, Michelle" (and her "Laura, Laura, Laura," in case we didn't get it the first time.)

Greg Evigan of BJ and the Bear, and Telma Hopkins who added a ghostly presence. As well as Beth Broderick of Sabrina the Teenage Witch. She is always a welcome presence in a movie lending as always credibility, warmth, and common sense.

The plot was pretty slight with Aaron O'Connell trying to propose to Haylie Duff (7th Heaven among others) at a Dude Ranch (where else?) in the midst of feuding families.

It was harmless fun.

I am at a loss as to what the source of IMdB25288's hatred and spitefulness towards Ms Duff is. Not content with spewing vitriol and insults with one review, He goes in for a second round in a follow-up. The woman has 74 credits spanning from 1997 to 2021 and one on the way. Someone likes her. Maybe she broke his crayons when they were kids.

**Oh, I see his 2 reviews have been removed. Or maybe he deleted them. Good.**

Despite reading negative reviews which oddly now have been removed,sad that nobody can give honest feedback.. I decided to watch this holiday movie,which left me feeling perplexed.

On one hand was great seeing some Brady kids,plus other nostalgic actors.

On the other the leads felt mismatched together in this,not saying though opposites don't attract.

Was an ok storyline,cinematography & more!

Would i watch this,again! Not really! As the lead actress,isn't all that great in bringing her characters to screen.

The acting is below average. The story has no depth or spark and the conflict is way overblown. Aaron O'Connell and Haylie Duff are comfortable together but don't really have a spark either.

A very tired vehicle to reunite the Brady crew. All the actors seem to be looking around to find the drama, and find their lines. Marsha, Marsha, Marsha .... Help!!!
