WARNING: I haven't watched the full movie yet!
I don't hate the movie. I liked the dancing in it, but the movie just seemed like your typical feel-good Christmas movie, which isn't a bad thing. One of my problems is how nice they make the characters. I'm only saying this because previously these two (Monique Coleman and Corbin Bleu) played the couple Taylor and Chad. The contrast is that Taylor and Chad had sass. Taylor always had snarky remarks and Chad always had witty ones. Nonetheless, they were good friends.
It was just kind of hard seeing the same actors play characters who were too nice and didn't seem to have a lot of personality or flaws. That's some of the things I would look for in a character. That's one of the reasons why I loved High School Musical so much. The characters had fun and distinctive personalities. I feel like Hallmark and Lifetime could do a bit more of that in their movies. I don't know why that would hurt, even though they like to keep their plots plain.
