La Compétition de Noël

Main chick born in 85 Dad born in 87 Boyfriend dude born in 84

Why???? Why isn't the dad in his 60s?!

I'm not paying a bit of attention to the story at all, so can't really say if it's good or not, but the age thing really threw me through a loop. It's yet another Christmas moving with the same music as the rest.

I have to come up with filler words because the required characters are 600 and I don't understand why. I see many other reviews much shorter than this and now you're stuck reading this blabber.

Jingle bells, jingle bells 63 to go.

Santa, reindeer, snow balls, elfs, Christmas tree.

So apparently there is a shortage of actors in the 50 to 70 year old range. Well I know that's not true so I am guessing that Mike Shara was originally cast as the love interest but got demoted to playing the father when Stephen Huszar, more well known to TV romance fans became available. The father and daughter were played by actors who were the same age. It was creepy. And I don't think "ick" is what you go for in a Christmas movie. Couldn't they have made him her brother?

This TV romance is even less believable than usual. The movie is centred around a Lumberjack competition for $50,000. I found myself singing Monty Python's Lumberjack song as the movie went on. The acting is not good and the plot is corny as hell. Only watch if incredibly bored.

A Christmas In The Rockies.....Yes corny, yes cheesy, bad acting, poor casting. Yes all lumberjacks daughter's are lumberjacks too. It's in their blood and their hair, makeup, and clothes always look perfect even while working out. Yes her father was 1 year old when she was born....but I don't really expect anything else from these movies. They are soooooooo far from reality that it makes me laugh. Plus extremely predictable. The only interesting character in the movie was the man who played Grandpa Sam. Please Santa buy some acting lessons for Mike Shara. Anyway Merry Christmas everyone. God bless.

Another movie with a contest to save the family _______ (logging company). Three weeks to train for a physical activity her competitors have been training for their whole lives and outweigh her 2-1 or more. So like many rom/coms don't even try to reconcile anything close to realism. But this one stretches way past even those. The story is lame with no real highs or lows or surprises. The "tag line" for the movie promo doesn't make sense and also gives away what might have been the only surprise way too close to the end. The climax plays out like all these movies do, just different details. The dialogue isn't much.

Mike Shara is too young to be Katie's dad and his acting is bad.

Kimberly-Sue Murray and Stephen Huszar are OK together, but Katie and Harrison cozy up pretty darn fast.
