L'amour sonne à Noël

I try to rate based on acting, plot, etc. This movie was simply average. Not that memorable, actually. A woman manages her deceased father's antique store and a man walks in and breaks a chair within and then wants to buy an antique clock. The usual misunderstandings occur. Not seeing any shred of chemistry between the main actors. Ashley Newbrough in the female role is, sadly, flat. As is the male protagonist. If you meet someone and feel an attraction to them and want to see more of them, perhaps a bit more flirting, long gazes, some emotion?

There were some "original songs" in the movie, but I have yet to find out what they were called and who sings them. Unfortunately, many of the Hallmark Brand Christmas movies are so formulaic that they have no actual novelty and the performances are uninspiring. Exceptions: Journey Back to Christmas. That was exceptional!

Typical early Hallmark fluff...not a lot to it... Problem is the leads dont match, actor just seems too gay and not interested in the (any) actress...woulda been better if he was interested in a guy in the movie and the story focused on the other actress and her beau more.... Nice folks, interesting side characters, all Hallmark Christmas movies are fun...this is ok.

Maybe I'm just in a grump and another time I might have got to the end of this film, I have certainly stuck through worse, but I just wasn't engaged by the characters or the situation, which we have all seen before and done better.

The lead male had potential to be a cutey, but he wasn't enough to keep me watching this time.

I might try again next year, but only once I've seen all the ones that I know are good.

Unscored as unfinished.

The movie failed to hit the mark, weak story line and the lead characters were not in sync. It was difficult to watch from start to finish. Since Hallmark cycles these movies thru-out the holiday season, was thinking another viewing might make this better -- no such luck

The plot here is nothing special, but the writers did make an effort to create the classic antithetical courtship. It started out well, but didn't carry much force through the course of the film.

Massey, however, made the film interesting enough to watch all the way through. He portrayed a character who was sensible and in control of his space, which was a refreshing change from characters who get pushed around by their circumstances.

It was worth the watch, but it isn't one we'll put on our list to watch again in coming years.
