Une belle rencontre de Noël

If I could give this less than 1 star, I would. Besides the acting being absolutely mediocre the worst part is the background music. Not only did the same 3 songs play on repeat throughout the entirety of the movie but if was all surface level. The music had no heart and no real melody. Not to mention that the music NEVER fit whatever was happening within the movie and was completely out of place. Definitely not worth the time to watch the movie.

This movie was absolutely horrible!! The background music was the WORST I've ever heard, why oh why would you think that "disturbingly awful" music would be pleasing to our ears, my poor ears - OUCH -!! As far as the leads, I've always enjoyed RD & EK but this movie was unappealing on so many levels. I believe another reviewer stated this movie must've been made on a shoestring budget - I say more like dental floss budget. EK, I just need to say WHY, why on earth did you mess with your gorgeous face?!! I have followed your career and I'm so surprised no one else has noticed but your eyes now look like everyone else's in Hollywood. I was comparing you in Mrs. Miracle and Christmas Lodge and you looked stunning so when I happened to come across New Year's kiss, I thought I'd watch. You look completely different, puffy cheeks, and like I said, you've done something to your eyes. I understand the pressures of Hollywood but Erin, why fix something that wasn't broken. I had to turn the movie off between the over the top music and Erins new face, it was very disappointing. I cannot believe no one else has noticed this. I love her acting but her facial expressions in this movie were so distracting, I'm sorry Erin, I'm a big fan but you had a gorgeous face especially your eyes, I wish you would stop whatever it is you are doing before it's too late and you look nothing like the EK we've all come to know and love.

I'd gotten so sick of the music and constant near misses that I had to check how much longer the movie had to go. I was only half an hour in and had an hour to go. It never at any time was pleasant to watch.

Both actors were good and I love Robin Dunne. Feel so bad for him in this movie that I checked imb to see if he left this one off out of embarrassment.

I still have another half an hour to watch but I'm not sure I can do this to myself any more. It is just so awful. It is very rare that I never finish watching a movie so I'm torn.

If at all possible, do yourself a favour and give this movie a huge miss. There are plenty of others and any would be better than this one.

I've enjoyed Erin Karpluk and Robin Dunne in other things so took a chance on this despite the poor reviews. Not sorry I did. This isn't great television by any stretch but it was a pleasant way to pass 1.5 hours on a holiday evening.

The fatal flaws were mostly in the beginning, with uninspired dialogue, one-note secondary characters, and especially a serious lack of deeper motivations for the main characters. If either of them early expressed a dissatisfaction with their career paths, the first half would have had more heart and the shift of direction at the 2/3 mark wouldn't have come as such a surprise.

It's a light, easy tv movie with some food for thought and a cute twist at the end that doesn't have to do with the happy couple.

I watched it because I liked the show, "Being Erica," and I will watch anything with Erin Karpluk. I've seen enough Hallmark Christmas movies to know what I was getting, and there was nothing special here. It was like a low budget Hallmark movie... a very low budget Hallmark movie. Very, very, very low..... The low budget look - bad lighting, poor green screens, etc... didn't really bother me. What did bother me was the non-stop generic Christmas music playing non-stop through the whole movie. If anyone reading this is involved with making low budget movies, NEVER have a nonstop generic music soundtrack playing the whole time. All other shortcomings can be overlooked, but the music was distracting and terrible. Anyway, it was about what I expected - pretty cheesy - but I got to see Erin Karpluk so I was happy.
