L'admirateur secret de Noël

Given the genre, the movie was sorta/ kinda entertaining.

Sure, I think he *can* probably act, but though he tries and occasionally succeeds: (I'm generous that way), poor Brendon Zub doesn't sound remotely French. As other reviewers have noted that 'orrible accent meant that I spent much time Googling, trying to see if he was possibly French-Canadian, and I was wrong & being picky - which detracted from giving full attention to the storyline.

Please, Hallmark - you must be able to get actors who genuinely have French as their first language? I have nothing against Brendon Zub - PLEASE cast him again. But y'all went wrong here!

The owner and baker of a bakery but we never see her in the kitchen? The bakery opens sometime late in the morning? Treats and goodies just magically appear on all the shelves? I would also like to know why - in these Christmas movies, the female is always bratty and high strung; the male is calm and condescending. This movie exemplifies the millennials in our company, I guess. Elves will do the real work and it's okay to be bratty if you look precious.

This is a sweet and loving feel good movie, I feel it shows the spirit of Christmas, there are many moviegoers that think it is a bad movie but it is not, I am not a fan of Christmas movies but it is one of the best I have seen, another notable movie is Angels In The Snow, a must see movie.

Before i even mention the hideous accent, can we talk about the lead being an entitled brat who throws a hissy fit when she doesn't have her own way. So this guy pitches up in her bakery with the worst french accent you've never heard (more fakery than bakery) And because he doesn't tell her his life story, and he is also a baker, she throws a meltdown and acts like a Karen right at his place of work in front of customers. THEN a while later he is innocently handing out freebies outside his store, and she marches over and starts yelling at him on the street. This woman is insane, and he spends HIS time accommodating her rudeness and finding her adorable. I switched off after 40 minutes of this generic rubbish being displayed.

Like the other reviewer, I have the same opinion. It had the potential to be really good but I couldn't get over the fact the guy had a completely made up French accent. There really was no need for it. He actually seemed like a sinister character instead of the love interest because his accent was so obviously fake.
