A Christmas Spark

This movie is plodding, dull and colorless. Jane Seymour was lovely to look at as always, but there was no chemistry between her and Joe Lando. Joe seemed extremely out of his comfort zone and his acting was wooden. This goes to show that being attractive and easy on the eyes doesn't carry the movie.

And WHAT IS UP WITH THE HALLMARK LADIES' HAIR? With the exception of Jane Seymour (who thankfully kept them away from hers) almost every female has dead ends and their hair is curled until the last 2 or 3 inches and then it just hangs there. It doesn't look like their hair has been combed through or styled; it looks like someone curled it with a curling iron, then just pulled the curls down. For God's sake, you can't be on THAT much of a budget. Every woman (and a fair amount of men) watch these movies annually and buy the products that you so casually (cough cough) display in scenes. The hair spans the gamut from thin, baby-fine and lanky, limp and listless, to dry and stringy, to brittle and dull. Spring for a professional hair stylist for heaven's sake! Many times this is so distracting that I turn the movie off.
