The Mistletoe Secret (2019)
Proof that Hallmark actually HATES its viewers
Is Kellie Pickler blackmailing you, Hallmark? Did she catch you ripping off American Greetings? Because for the life of me I CANNOT FATHOM any other reason you would cast her in another movie. You are insulting EVERYONE ELSE who worked on this...From actors to writers to directors to Craft Services. And ANYONE who is giving Kellie Pickler positive reviews is either Kellie Pickler or...someone who has eaten copious amounts of lead paint. Shame on you, Hallmark. Shame. On. You.
Rent-an-Elf (2018)
Super Cute! Definitely worth the watch
In an age where Hallmark seems to value quantity over quality, ION offers a refreshing take on Christmas. Most people do not lead a cookie cutter existence. Family is...well, family. Add in the holidays and... I don't want to put in any spoilers so I'll just say that if you're tired of the scenery over script holiday movies watch 2018 ION original Rent-an-Elf. It's family-friendly and doesn't need a big budget to get the job done : )
Sharing Christmas (2017)
Don't waste your time.
It's another tired plot that is poorly executed. The acting is lackluster and the setting...
This supposedly amazing Christmas Shop makes custom ornaments that people rave over. In actuality, they look like something children make in Kindergarten. In fact, almost everything in the shop looks like cheap Chinese items one can buy in a dollar store. As an owner and gifter of a multitude of quality merchandise from Hallmark stores, I'm appalled. This shows that the Hallmark Corporation is either EXTREMELY short-sighted in missing an opportunity to showcase its Christmas collection, or they thought SO LITTLE of the movie's quality they didn't want to damage their brand any further. I suspect the latter.
For Better or for Worse (2014)
Definitely for Worse!
Lisa Whelchel doesn't look like Edward Ruttle's mother. She looks like Antonio Cupo's mother! I mean really, if you feel the need to cast a much older woman, use someone gorgeous like Jane Seymour! At least that would be more believable. I just couldn't get past it. Other than that Antonio Cupo was lovely as usual. Reviewers talking about "incest" because the children were getting married, are being absurd. If the kids grew up together, they might be in some serious need of therapy. Even then, however, it's still not incest. The only problem with the parental figures ever getting married is the fact that Lisa Whelchel could have actually given birth to Antonio Cupo! Definitely pass on this if you've just eaten!
A Christmas Carol (2009)
Don't waste your money!
Visually, I thought this was great. I was quite impressed.
Jim Carrey's performance, however... Well, let's just say, I was not a fan.
Mr. Carrey was vocally distinguishable in ever role that he played, and not in a good way. I could live with that. What I cannot live with, however, is the fact that Ebenezer Scrooge is British! Is Carrey unaware of this? Has he never read Dickens? Does he not know that this is set in Victorian London? Did he think, if "I can sound like an old man, I don't need to sound English?" Just bloody awful, Mr. Carrey! And don't get me started on the Ghost of Christmas Present's accent...
