A Christmas Proposal

Ugh no thanks This movie was so boring and the acting was terrible. I've watched a lot of Christmas movies and I could barley finish this one.

"A Christmas Proposal" is a tired and worn out plot for a Holidays film. A small town boy (or girl) makes it big in the city and returns to the hometown with a fiancé or sweetheart in tow. They don't really want to be there but it's for business. That usually translates to a shady deal that the good guy (or girl) doesn't know about. So, naturally, he (or she) falls again for the childhood sweetheart left behind.

There's usually nothing hidden about these plots. It's just a matter of the viewers seeing how it plays out. The big city girlfriend or boyfriend is usually spoiled rich and disdainful of the "country hicks."

With no different or interesting angles in this plot, and nothing else exceptional about the script or even just very good in the acting, there is nothing to recommend this movie. It's not terrible but just very humdrum. For a Christmas film, this one is a little more risky. Although there's no nudity, the couple are sleeping together and not engaged. The little bit of scenic camera work earns it one notch more than otherwise - from three to four stars.

Not even worth watching when it comes on TV during Christmastime. Definitely some of the laziest film making I have ever seen. The movie is supposed to take place on the east coast during December (they mention stopping in Connecticut on the way home) except the cast is constantly wearing short sleeves, and the trees are full and there are flowers in bloom. Also the main character's car looks like it has a California license plate (although they never focus on it). Its not that hard to at least dress your characters in sweaters and act like its cold...especially when at the end it starts snowing for a moment so I assume they would be a little cold without coats on! The characters are also incredibly shallowly written, and you can't really care about them at all.

This is a movie filled with marginal talents doing less than their limited best in a truly insipid film. I concur with previous reviews and offer this warning: stay away. Far away. You're better off watching a loop of a Yule log burning. Probably the funniest aspect of it is the way they kept showing Nicole Eggert from the neck up, avoiding any angles that might show how much weight she's carrying. Truth to tell, this is a cynical Christmas movie effort. The people who made it were just trying to exploit the public's insatiable appetite for insipid Christmas fare and can't accept the very attractive Nicole Eggert with extra weight on her.

Possibly the worst movie ever.

Entirely predictable story line, city girl friend vs old hometown sweetheart.

I didn't like or care for any character, everyone was so rude to the city girl yet still the boyfriend drags her along to gatherings so the nice small town people can continue to be rude to her.

It's not often I use the word hate, but i really hated this movie. I didn't feel festive, I felt cross. I couldn't understand why the boyfriend let the small town people be so rude and yet he never once said anything in return.

Normally I can find at least one positive, sadly this time I can't.
