Ensemble à Noël

Check Inn to Christmas was a cute title for a movie! Right?! The movie just felt overdone, same old movie just different title. Rachel Boston is adorable in almost everything she is in! I just did not feel the connection or chemistry with Wes Brown, a little forced. It kind of felt a little boring to me! It did not draw me in at all, nothing really to hold my interest.

We've all seen this a few dozen times under different titles. Sometimes whether we like a Hallmark movie depends more on whether we like the people in the cast than any plot (or lack of plot). This must've caught me in the right mood, cuz I liked it. Wes Brown plays Wes Brown in every movie, so no surprise there, and Rachel Boston brought a bit less sugar than usual, which helped a lot. Supporting cast was mostly good (I did get tired of the mayor making speeches), and in the end, Everybody's happy. If only real life could be a Hallmark movie just once. I gave it a 7.

I've watched many Hallmark movies. Sure they all have the same formula but some do better with that formula than others. This is one of those. I'm not sure what one of the reviewers was talking about stating that Rachel Boston and Wes Brown didn't have chemistry. I thought they had great chemistry. Loved the plot line of the feuding families. I loved this one because it made me laugh. So many of the Hallmark ones this season are so serious. I needed to laugh and this one did it for me. I wish they'd do a part 2 to this one.

6/10 - average family feud Hallmark channel feature makes for a worthwhile hour and a half

I like the leads together Rachel and Wes smile and act all lovey dovey. A lawyer and an MBA from rival inn keeping families join forces to outbid a big resort threatening their family inns. The solution to their troubles uses both their skills. If not for these likeable stars there might not that much to recommend this movie.
