Christmas at the Drive-In (2022 TV Movie)
7/10
They ran out of material
30 January 2024
6.7 stars.

There is one thing the audience really wants to know and eventually it's revealed why they parted so many years ago. They were two teenagers in love, and he saw something, and she did some thing...the rest of the story is just filler as I'm anticipating the conversation where she sheds light on why she did it.

So I continued to watch the movie, which is about a woman who wants to save a drive-in, and a man who wants to sell it. The drive-in is his, it was owned by his father, a wonderful man who passed away some years ago. The drive-in has been a money pit for many years. It appears that it's been closed for sometime, but preserved as an historic site.

The plot is so very plain and uninspired, but the acting and chemistry is the opposite. I suppose this would be the most any director could make of a story about a drive-in.

And finally about an hour into the film, he asks: "why did you let us end?" She replies: "what, um, no you're the one who...". You'll have to see it for yourself, no spoiler here. Ok, I got my answer to the mystery of why they went their separate ways. Oh what fickle creatures we are.
