comfortable

After so many Hallmark Christmas films, Christmas Made to Order is just...comfortable. Not surprising, not touching, not sweet. Only comfortable , in many scenes against Alexa PenaVega and Jonathan Bennett, each giving fair jobs but the expected chemistry between them being only a sort of...sketch. Her hard effort to be the lovely young woman, his try to be the expected architect, the total unrealistic end are, for many reasons, too much but, like many Hallmark productions, it is saved by secondary actors , by the eulogy to family and by not very bad humor. And, sure, the spirit of Christmas is the first savior.

Not bad

It's a feel good movie but it would have been better with a different leading couple. The leading lady looked like she tried too hard to be likeable and always seemed to have just come out of the hairdresser's. I would have liked something more natural and laid back. Also I didn't feel any real spark between her and the leading guy.

Smells like another Hallmark film

The whole film I was about to say "Aaron Samuels I like your hair pushed back". Well If seriously the acting here is below the expected level. I like both Alexa and Jonathan, but there was no chemistry between them. Maybe it's because of the poor script maybe they were told to act like that. Its all a history now. It's not a bad film to watch while you're cooking dinner. Could have been better.

Good for spending time without any surprises :)

Very Christmas cliché movie, but very good for spending time without stressed ones.

Good premise but...

It was nice to see a movie with a very different plot/setting of the usual working formulas.

The underlying message of the movie: "believe" is beautiful and very Christmas-y.

The camerawork is decent, the dialogue is at sometimes unbearable and the acting (individually) is fair.

However, o rated this film with 4 instead of the usual 5 for Christmas movies because, in my opinion, the two lead characters share no chemistry whatsoever.

Goofs
When the lead female's SUV won't start due to a low battery, the lead male's sister diagnoses it as a bad alternator. Alternators generate electricity for vehicle engines, and they can only be tested by operating them to see if they output the correct voltage. Since the SUV would not start, such a test would not be possible. The correct process would be to jump start the SUV and then test the alternator.
