The Art of Christmas

7.2 stars.

The theme is mundane. It's about a female artist who finds her true passion for art and children once she is able to find herself. We can't forget there is a man and a lonely little girl in the story who enable her to do just that.

This is an okay movie, nothing really special if I'm being honest, but I've certainly seen much worse. I wasn't disappointed, because my expectations were already pretty limited. Why limited? The low rating for one, and I don't have the time to watch everything these days, so I've been avoiding any movie below 6.2 stars, but some of the reviews got my attention. I thought maybe this will be engaging and fun and I'm trying to see if these really low level films are as bad as people say. When a movie falls below 6.2 stars, it tends to be lackluster, but this is not always the case. Once in a while one of these will surprise you. Unfortunately, 'The Art of Christmas' is not one, however it's also not that bad. Like I said, I've seen a lot worse, so not a total waste of time.

This movie was very hard to watch. I did finish it. The story line was a decent one. The writing felt a little weak at times. The acting was very amateurish. They talked very fast and in choppy sentences. They are older actors so it shouldn't have been this way. They are experienced actors on many different shows. I think my biggest beef was with Reggie ( Darrin Brooks). He's mostly been on soap operas. His acting felt very forced and inauthentic. He was so cringy. Fun fact: He's married to Kelly Kruger (Brit) in this movie. This movie you can pass on. Nothing great to see so you're not missing anything.

This looked a lot better in the previews. Unfortunately, it falls flat from the very beginning and never rises from there.

The acting ranges from poor to so-so, the script is lacking, and there is little chemistry among the cast.

I also have to agree with Jack, I have never seen that much cleavage in one of these movies. I guess she paid for those things and she's gonna get her money's worth.

I always try to find something good about every movie. I suppose I would have to say the best friend was well-done. I really don't have much else, unfortunately.

All those actors we see in all those Hallmark movies have been at it for years, but they're all under contract. Great American has a smaller pool of available talent as a result. It will take a while to get the quality up, but I remain confident that they're on the right track.

But this movie is already deleted.

Unlike some of the other reviewers. I kind of liked this one. It had Christmas themes throughout without being overly Christian and its execution. I like the premise of the artist not liking the work and throwing it away she's in someone else finding it and thinking it's beautiful. That's not a spoiler, it's in the description. I also like that the characters are obviously falling for each other without any pretense of starting off in a negative fashion. They obviously have feelings for each other throughout the entire movie and afraid to admit it to one another, either. This is refreshing to me.

I was hoping this would be better. Plot was pretty good and the acting was fair.

Unfortunately, it was extremely predictable. The storyline with the young girl who's getting bullied had potential, but it fizzled. It was interesting that the leading lady was pretty and the leading man looked more like an average guy next door. No real chemistry between them probably because the acting wasn't very good. Wish they had played up the Grandpa's role a little bit more. I think that would have been fun. He was a character for sure! I will say that the dresses and costumes were really pretty to look at. Very very forgettable movie.
