Le Noël de Félicité

The one thing I thought I could rely on in the UK's Channel 5 Christmas films was their unrelenting niceness - that is, until I saw this one (which was titled Baking My Way to Christmas in the UK, for some reason). The charm that usually fills these kind of films is sadly missing here. Making the lead character so mopey and unpleasant in the early part of the film backfires badly, and I can imagine that many viewers would have given up when the first ad break arrived. The script is terrible, the performances weak, and the story just never grips. As others have said, the 10-star reviews on here are mighty suspicious and should probably be taken with a pinch of salt.

All of these 10 star reviews are suspect to me. The lead actress is rude and snotty with everyone, including her parents and sister, and everyone she comes in contact with! I could not stand her and didn't care how she would turn for the better.

I think I have watched every Christmas movie on Hallmark, AMC, and my other premium channels! This one was a standout! I absolutely loved the handsome tree farmer and the sister character. Don't miss it!!!!

I am pretty sure the reviews that gave this movie a ten are friends and family of the cast and production.

The movie is beyond bad. The plot, the acting, the costumes are of the worst possible quality.

I cannot help wondering, when watching these hallmarkish movies, if the actors offer to work for free. There is no other explanation for these people to be cast. As for the costumes, they were right off the racks of a thrift store and it showed.

The last scene in which everyone is dancing, they are obviously dancing to a tune totally different from what we actually hear or... they are also awful dancers.

This is a hallmark style holiday film that will make you smile. Cozy up with your family, some eggnog, and cookies and enjoy some lighthearted fun. Or have it on while you and the kids are baking cookies!
