The Christmas House (2020 TV Movie)
7/10
Somewhat entertaining
5 December 2023
6.8 stars.

This has a lot of reviews which usually indicates mass interest. If I had to sum it up in a sentence I would say it's a slow moving film about two parents who aren't happy, a TV star who is searching for the love of his life from his past, and his brother who is trying to adopt a child with his husband (yes, he's gay).

It's a slow moving production about the TV star coming home to decorate their family home for Christmas. But they don't just decorate as most families, they go all out with ornaments, lights and animatronics inside and outside all around like a Christmas decorators museum. People come from near and far to see it.

We also get to see flashbacks from when the TV star was a child and he loved to do magic and his #1 girl (whom he never ended up with) was his magician sidekick. Now he's teaching her son how to do magic and she might be the helper again, and maybe they will get the second chance at a first chance (that's sort of a quote from the movie, not exactly word for word) at love. Mom and Dad are unhappy and this is explained (but I won't tell you because it's a spoiler).

It's a so-so story, but not executed for maximum enjoyment.
