Ms. Christmas Comes to Town

But nothing more. The cast was semi shockingly underwhelming; i had to rewatch it after i fell asleep. It's not the best in the world (it's competing with the worse) but if you want cheese, do watch this our buy a block of cheddar. I do wish I could get my life back after this garbage.

My primary issue was the acting. It was so bad. It's like they didn't even care to try. The story was, like, average or expected. However you wish to define it. The whole thing left me feel nothing but boredom due to it's lack or realistic characterization. Its so sad to see stuff like this; lazy and uncaring. It simply disrespects the viewer-base (i want to like it, but they're legit making it impossible to do so)

I was happy to see Erica Durance join the Hallmark lineup a few years back. I've always liked Brennan Elliott. So I was off to a good start before the first scene.

There are two romance stories here. Of course you knew as soon as James actually appeared that he would be part of the story.

The premise is a little different, but the story develops like many Christmas movies do but with the additional thread of Gale's illness. Travis and Amanda have an interesting meet cute and then get thrown together on the road trip and, oh my, on stage! Elliott and Durance have chemistry and watching their relationship is enjoyable.

The movie goes a little deeper than some with Gale's illness, but her secret becomes another plot device like so many others that throws a temporary obstacle between Travis and Amanda.

I agree with the reviewer that said that Travis' backstory was underdeveloped.

The start of this movie is fun and has a few surprises before the leads in this film start their christmassy tour on wheels. The actors are talented and it is impossible not to have high hopes for this film. However the story takes a turn for the worse, it becomes sappy and unrealistic as the bus moves from town to town. The storyline is rather bland and the cast despite their long experience and acting skills cannot make this holiday movie anything but a wreck. That said, the leads got a cool and down-to-earth way of being. I would love to see all three of them in a different Christmas film as soon as possible!

I'm the biggest criric of Hallmark productions,must admit my feelings are usually negative.. Mostly due to cut,copy & paste stories.

So far this year it seems Hallmark is trying,maybe they got newer writers? Regardless,it's refreshing.

Oh sure.. Had some typical formulas,but wasn't filled with over used Hallmark clichés.

In all honesty was waiting for the health issue to dissappear(Christmas miracle)or some type of argument/misunderstanding that gets fixed quickly,but shocking it didn't actually happen.

This was cast & acted decent,plus as always.. Cinematography is nicely done.

The music wasn't out doing the conversations,it's nice hearing the actors talk.

Hope we see more new stuff.. You shouldn't be able to fall asleep,wake & feel you missed nothing.

Most years been watching Lifetime,so.. Keep up with your changes Hallmark! We can only take so many festival & other common topics,that are the same.

Although would be nice having movies in some actual,US cities being represented versus Canada.

Anyway.. Worth seeing this,at least once during the holiday.

Ohhh I liked this movie a lot.

I really liked the plot line - it produced all the feels and I liked that the romance wasn't the main story.

I have only ever seen Barbara Niven as a support actress (of which she excels every time) so it was lovely to see her take a lead role, and she is such a dote in this that you really can't help but care for her character.

I really like Brennan Elliott and Erica Durance individually so this pairing was a win for me. They had this easy natural rapport which made the romance inevitable. I will say though the movie could have done with exploring Travis' backstory a bit more. His character wasn't developed enough for me.

All in all even though there was a serious element to this I thought it was a nice light watch.
