Une croisière pour Noël

The shots for the cruse ships were different. The first was the Queen Mary and the next shot looked like it was a standard cruise ship. Very little chemistry between characters.

Literally one of the worst movies that I'll never get my 1 hr and 40 minutes back! Horrible script and worse acting. The poor Queen Mary shots were sad. No chemistry between any actors. Lifetime movies along with Christmas in July on Hallmark are better and that's truly hard to say.

This is possibly the worst movie I've ever suffered through. There was absolutely no chemistry between the two main characters, and the male lead was completely void of any charm or desirable characteristics. The female lead was, for lack of a better word, "blah." Their relationship was basically nothing but being rude and sarcastic to each other, and their banter was just awkward and forced.

I generally appreciate the cheesiness of Christmas/Hallmark type movies, but man. This went way past cheesy, into downright cringeworthy.

Mainly writing this review to point out that it was obvious this would be a bad film from the very beginning. The cruise director reads the lead's "handwritten" notes only for the camera to linger on the opened journal and show him pointing to a typed script taped on the inside cover. I mean come on, how did every editor miss that? It only got worse from there.

A Christmas Cruise (2017) is a movie I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a reporter whose friend invites her on a Christmas cruise where maybe they can both meet a worthwhile guy; meanwhile, her boss has offered her a promotion if she can write a worthwhile Christmas love article. She decides she may be able to accomplish her personal and professional goals by going on the cruise with her friend.

This movie is directed by David DeCoteau (Puppet Master III) and stars Vivica A. Fox (Kill Bill), Jessica Morris (The Upshaws), Kristoff St. John (The Young and the Wrestless) and Rib Hillis (The Wrong Man).

The storyline for this is a bit cliche and straightforward and seemed corny at times. St. John seemed a bit stiff and it definitely makes sense he does soap operas and Fox seemed out of place and many aspects of her performance seemed forced and a bit awkward. The character with all the injuries in this was ridiculous more than funny; however, at least the film has a nice, feel good ending.

Overall, this is a below average movie that felt made for TV that you'd just leave on in the background as you're preparing for the holiday but isn't worth paying too much attention to. I would score this a 2/10 and recommend skipping it.
