billcrook Review of Twinkle All the Way

Twinkle All the Way (2019 TV Movie)

Very good movie... until the end.

[4/10 · 28 November 2019]

I really like romantic Christmas movies and this was a good one right up until the end. I was not familiar with Sarah Drew and found her to be very charming and attractive. I had seen Ryan McPartlin in 2 other films and thought he had done a very good job in both. Of course Lesley Anne Warren was great and still looks terrific at 73. So the two leads are both single parents, their kids are in a Christmas play at school and these two parents are assigned to work together designing the sets. They both have good ideas but their different ways of working result in some conflicts, etc. but eventually they become more than just friends. We've seen it all before and you know they will be in love and kiss at the end. About half way into the movie we learn that two male characters are "married". So at the very end when our two leads kiss (as expected), then the two gay guys kiss also. Ruined the whole movie for me. Otherwise I would have given it 7 stars.
