For once, a Hallmark Christmas film told from a male POV. Bravo! And the opening voiceover was a grabber-it really stood out compared to HMC's usual generic titles over stock city footage accompanied by a generic holiday song.
That's as good as this one gets.
-Lead actress Tara Holt (Jenny) was hard to watch. Her tics drove me crazy. I hope this is her worst performance ever; it's bad even for HMC.
A few questions for HMC production:
-I bet 85% of your Christmas films feature mistletoe. How do you get the wrong plant?
-Was it important to limit Meg, the most interesting character, to FaceTime? Do you not get the optics of literally keeping our one named PoC from sharing a room with another character?
-Who drops in to a virtual stranger's house @ 6:30 AM?
-Who answers the door in nothing but their underwear?
-What natural hair color could be worse than Tara/Jenny's dye job? Did the team watching dailies fail to notice how dirty and lank her hair looked? Is that someone's whack idea of edgy?
-Which is less believable: a holiday party happened in < 2 weeks with no money? Or that the 30ish people in attendance (29ish white) equaled success?
-Do y'all really fail to get the difference between research and stalking?
Stalking isn't romantic, FYI.
