Marions-nous à Noël!

...make fun of.

I had the unfortunate pleasure of catching glimpse of this movie while working at home. My wife loves sappy x-mas movies. The plot is very predictable but it isn't the reason for the 2-stars. It is the horrible dialog writing and cringe-worthy acting by EVERYONE.

If you want noise to fill the room while making dinner, then by all means and play this. But do not make this a movie/date night kind of movie, you will hate yourself afterward.

This movie had a lot wrong with it. Probably the most glaring problem was that the Christine Prosperi's acting + a sub-par script. I haven't seen any of Christine's other work but for _this_ movie she wasn't able to carry the role. The worst actor in the movie shouldn't be the lead. I broke out laughing at her "fake typing" skills. I can understand someone faking an instrument that they don't know but the fake typing was bad. The movie cuts corners in a lot of ways. You'd just have to watch to see...or just skip it.

Haley did not act like an adult who plans weddings. She acted like a spoiled, arrogant asshole teenager. She ruined the whole movie. I frowned through the whole thing, hoping it would get better.

Premise is fun ... but hiring people who can actually act should be high on the list. Most of the people in this movie seened to be reciting their lines - and are totally unbelievable. The woman playing Haley is horrible - and her character is very immature-and we're supposed to believe she's the best wedding planner to the stars? Um --- absolutely not. Does she not understand it's a small town AND it's a last minute Christmas Eve wedding? SHEESH. Ion - stick with your reruns --- they are far more enjoyable.

The plot and storyline are a great idea especially for a romantic drama. But, there are some serious problems. The main character is very much miscast; Prosperi seems more high school than a successful wedding planner and her intermittent giggling is foolish; she is not a believable character at all. And her character's snide remarks, dismissive attitude, and condescending dialogue is a definite minus for this movie. The setting consistency is off; the weather is supposed to be in the teens with a huge "snow storm" coming but the scenery looks like late spring in southern Cali complete with green trees, birds chirping, and pink flower blooms (bad directing). Just thoroughly not enjoyable and I quickly lost interest even though I watched the whole thing with a lemon face.
