Ivy & Mistletoe

This movie is like a C grade student's movie project. It's awful. The camerawork is laughable. There are a lot of strange shots. I think it's supposed to be artistic but there is nothing entertaining about looking at a glass for 20 seconds.

The acting is really wooden and this is not helped by the awful makeup artist that was released on the poor females. If they were going for "Romulan spies" then they nailed it. Why have their eyebrows been shaped at such a severe angle??!!

Ivy reminds me of one of the marionettes from the Sound of Music. She is completely unbelievable. This is probably largely due to the terrible script. The rest of the cast aren't any better.

The continuity and pace of the movie is strange. Where did the dog appear from? Suddenly the family have a dog that was never referenced before.

The soundtrack is awful. You don't expect much from TV movies, but this is one of the worst I've been subjected to.

Avoid!!!!

Please Cynthia, not another Hallmark Christmas movie on your CV!

You have to get of this treadmill, you are a talented actor and your career deserves better! We deserve better and more.

Can't comment on the film itself, but we all know the formula for Hallmark, boy loses girl, girl wins boy with some sickly slush and tedious indignation along the way, which is why Ms Gibb deserves better.

Wish I could give it a negative score. 10 mins in and yikes this is like a cheaply made D- list movie even for a TV christmas movie this is atrocious. Most of them have at least decent editing and don't look like it was made by amateurs.

I thought it was a cute ok movie but I couldn't get past the extreme plastic surgery that Julianne Michelle had. She didn't look normal. Not trying to be rude...

Not too hard to understand, easy to anticipate plot involving a young woman from a small town, living in the big city, yearns to return to simpler lifestyle. BF in the city wants to climb the corporate ladder, but doesn't realize how its done. He goes on a business trip, she goes by herself on a week long 'get away,' to a small town, simliar to where she grew up...

When she gets there, she finds out the place she's staying at is run by a widower, and his very business like daughter.

You should be able to guess the rest.....

Some of the acting is OK, some of it shows a lack of experience, but again, what did you expect. It made me feel good, even if some of the actors are just starting out, or haven't been in this type of production perviously.
