Joyeux Baiser de Noël

The worse part about this movie is the title, 'Merry Kissmas". I almost did not watch it because I had a hard time getting over the stupid title. However, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the movie. The love interest between Kayla and Dustin was full of genuine chemistry . On the other hand the chemistry between Kayla and Carlton was forced which was consistent with the storyline. These Up/Hallmark type movies always have a "dumpee" in the plot.

The main critique for me was that the Nutcracker banner on the venue looked like a high school sports banner--something the director, Carlton did address and the ballet dancers looked like first week dancers even though Carlton was suppose to be a world class director.

I don't get the low reviews but I loook at movies differently than others. I pay close attention to the chemistry between the leads then how the supporting characters fit within the two leads. The script was somewhat weak and the remark about former "I LOVE RAYMOND" mother who I love was unacceptable and the director, script writers should be ashame of themselves to call any woman not a woman and it doesn't matter, old, young or anything else. What I don't understand is it really that difficult for women to choose clear love in front of them or was that just a movie thing.

So there are a lot of things I didn't like about this movie. Like the fiance guy, the annoying store lady and the girls wishy washiness. But what bugged me the most is that they filmed a scene in current time and a year later using the same day. The actors were dressed the same, wearing the same jewelry, hair and even same handbag. It took away from the movie for me. All in all a typical rom-com with very good looking actors which made it all the more enjoyable.

This movie is so badly written. Do the actors read the script before signing in these things. Did they realise how non sensical, unrealistic and stupid the plot is. Noel Kahn is better than this role.

All I could think of after 10 minutes watching the movie, was " did a 10 year old wrote and directed this film?" I've seen bad, corny and full of cliche's films and actually enjoyed them but this one was a disaster. maybe it should be under the category of horror movies as half way through it I exclaimed "oh the horror" !

I give it 3 stars on the reason that there is a good chance a 10 year old actually wrote the screenplay and it wouldn't be fare not to give at least some stars for the effort

I won't even talk about acting and directing, although I wasn't expecting much out of it to begin with.

Don't waste your time, it's not even the kind of bad movie that you watch with your friends and make fun of it.
