Deux Stars pour Noël

Standard, but well done Hallmark Christmas Fare. G-rated for the entire family leaves a few gaps for the mature audience to fill on its own. But, enjoyed it just the same. Lots of smiles and great , interesting townspeople in Mistletoe township. All good. All masters of their craft.

Best of course is the Blucas/ Sweeney combo as leads. Lots of caring/ chemistry between them. Not even a hint of them as a perfect pair with a great script as in the awesome movie "The Irresistible Blueberry Farm". If you liked this one, try a great one like "Blueberry".

Love everything Alison is in. Didn't care for the male lead, it's not his fault but all I kept seeing is Ron DeSantis. He looks so much like him. And no way would the lady director/producer film them live without their permission. Bad idea!

This has to be one of my favorite Hallmark Christmas movies ever. I check out quite a few of them but don't finish most of them. This one had my attention from start to finish. The sets were some of the most beautiful I've ever seen and the dialogue/script was a step above as well. Brian's transformation from "grinchy" to Christmas enthusiast felt realistic, as did the progression of Melanie and Brian's relationship.

Everyone has their own tastes, but for me, a lot of these movies have the two leads romantically interested in each other too early on. Good Morning Christmas! and Christmas by Starlight this year both distinguish themselves by not making that mistake. The burn is a little slower and the conflict keeping the characters from being attracted to each other is more substantial. I recommend both.

Very cute. I will watch it again another year for sure.

Well, somehow I wish I could just wrap this up by saying: another year, another sappy Hallmark Christmas movie.

But I can't. No. "Good Morning Christmas!" was actually a rather enjoyable and surprisingly nice Christmas movie. Sure, it had the traditional and archetypical sappy Hallmark romance that you have in just about every one of their holiday movies, but actually "Good Morning Christmas!" was more than just your run-of-the-mill romantic Christmas cheese.

The storyline told in "Good Morning Christmas!", as written by Riley Weston, was actually rather well-written and definitely captured that feeling of Christmas spirit and that romance that Hallmark tends to always make use of. But it worked. Oh yes, it worked so well in "Good Morning Christmas!".

Aside from having a greatly written storyline, then director Paul Ziller definitely had a good cast ensemble to work with here in bringing the characters to life on the screen. The movie starred Alison Sweeney and Marc Blucas, both of whom carried the movie quite well with their performances. And the two lead performers had a nice chemistry on the screen.

I was genuinely entertained by "Good Morning Christmas!", and it is certainly a movie that I can warmly recommend you sit down to watch if you enjoy Christmas movies.

My rating of "Good Morning Christmas!" lands on a seven out of ten stars.

7/10 - romantic spoof of "Live! With Kelly and Michael" is fun and lighthearted
