The Mistle-Tones

BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA.

In this film a very talented singer Holly (Tia Mowry-Hardrict) gets rejected when she auditions for "The Belles" which is a a Christmas Caroling group. What hurts her more was that her late mother started this group and now she can not be part of it. "The Belles" is now led by Tori Spelling who's campy performance works wonders!

Later on Holly's sister tells her to "Start He Own Group" and she does with her fellow co-workers. She now has started a rivalry and now "The Belles" have to compete with Holly's group "The Mistle- Tones" to see who will sing at the annual Christmas Eve concert! Trust me this film is great!

What is nice about this film is that it's a musical that when people break into song and dance it's because they are rehearsing or performing! There is no awkward transitions. What also helps is that this film has songs that you know. In a minor way the film makes the audience a cast member.

Another plus is that who ever produced the songs did a great job. Its modern and respectful spin on old "Christmas Standards"

My favorite moment of the film is the "Winter Wonderland" segment! However the entire film sparkles and shines like Beautiful Christmas Lights.

If you are looking for a family safe film then WATCH THIS TOGETHER. It is lots of fun. Tia Mowry has a very infectious spirit that makes this film very special! This film will be part of my annual Holiday movie watching! (If ABC FAMILY runs it again) If not I want a DVD release!

I am not lying when I say "This is one of my all time favorite films". This is the first film I had scene in years that I wanted to watch it all over again when it ended.

This was a film I just discovered. I hope if you are reading this review you will watch it. Trust me if you like "Christmas" and "Christmas Music" you will love this film.

Again I like a DVD release!

Tia is great in this. The story line is "cute". The music is wonderful. Would buy the soundtrack, if I could find it. The "relationship" between Holly and Nick is believable. They have great chemistry. And that works. It is a little funny, that there are so many people with costumes, and choreography, who want to sing at a mall on Christmas Eve. They just happened to have sequin clothes at home, waiting for a chance to sing somewhere? LOL The thumbs down part? Tori Spelling. The girl cannot act. And, it's obvious that SHE isn't actually singing. It would have been much better, with someone else in that part. If you can get past that, you will love the movie.

This is the 3rd consecutive year we've watched the Mistle-Tones. It just gets better. Out of all the movies, this is the one my young adult sons request (and they don't like musicals). The Christmas singing is all done by the cast and it is great- especially since that is not their specialty. Tia Mowry is just precious in the lead as Holly. The whole movie is just delightful with lots of humor. It is well done. It is creative. They got the small things right. For instance, how the group finds out Holly named the group "The Mistle-Tones". One of the group members comes back and says "you named us the Mistle-Tones terrible" Another says "it's not bad", another "I like it" and the original guy changes his mind and likes it too. Love the "Burning Love" number. Tori Spelling was excellent in the role- they all were.

This movie is the best movie of all time. If you disagree you are wrong. The plot is iconic, it's not an average Hallmark plot. It's a bit above average if I am being honest.

For one there is SINGING, which is a huge game changer.

Why else should you watch this? Because the characters are solid and you haven't seen them in ten other Christmas movies like the Hallmark actors.

Even better news the guy is low-key good looking. You won't have to sit through a cute movie with an ugly guy. Life changing if you ask me.

The movie is very funny, it can't get much better than this. "The Mistle-Tones" has all aspects of a solid Christmas movie. It isn't a classic Christmas film, but it will sure bring any Christmas romance movie lover great joy.

Also the singing is solid and entertaining. I tried learning the joy to the world dance which you can find on youtube, because the movie is just that iconic.

If you don't enjoy this Christmas movie, your heart is ten sizes too small.

One of seductive Hallmark Christmas films, seductive for the musical moments, for love story in old fashion style and for Tori Spelling who, in this case, gives a beautiful- amusing role of the bad, bad girl. Its seduction secret - the lovely musical eulogy of Christmas, the charming lights to the family and its values - ReginaldVelJohnson does a beautiful job as the father of Holly - and the romance , maternal legacy, predictable decision of The Charming Prince and the beautiful end. A film for remember the flavours of old Christmas.
