Haul Out the Holly (2022)
This was awesome
I loved, loved, loved this movie, I had so much fun watching it. Classic screwball comedy. It is nice to have as change of pace from classic Hallmark Christmas movies.
Both Lacey and Wes are really great at delivering deadpan deliveries and witty banter, as I had seen and suspected in previous movies, and here they could really shine. But it was not only them but the whole neighborhood characters. Honestly, I was laughing with tears in my eyes.
I am not sure why people complain this was unrealistic, over the top, a horrible HOA. People, it was supposed to be over the top. That is what screwball comedies do.
This is in my top three this year so far along with The Ghost of Christmas Always and Three Wise Men and a Baby. Great stuff. I will be rewatching for sure.
A Christmas Miracle for Daisy (2021)
Painful to watch
Apart from a very repetitive story line and even more repetitive elements (interrupted kiss, misunderstanding without talking to each), which would have been mediocre, this became painful when Nick Bateman attempted to act. Really bad Hallmark knock off and a waste of Jill Wagner's talent.
A Kindhearted Christmas (2021)
really boring
This plot has been done sooo many times. If it had been done well, I might not complain. But it was slow, full of cliches, and Cameron and Jennie had no real chemistry. I was hoping for more. So far, Hallmark have had the far better movies this year with more original, emotional and magical story lines.
The Great Christmas Switch (2021)
so slow
This one made me fall asleep a couple of times. No flow, just dull. This story could have been funny and had room for entertaining spins, but it just did not make use of it.
Much Ado About Christmas (2021)
so so bad
OMG what a waste. I know GAC is trying to clone Hallmark, but why copy everything that Hallmark does not do well. Like taking a classic and putting a modern spin on it. The story had nearly nothing to do with Shakespeare, and the acting was slow and boring. It was just cringeworthy all the way through.
Love, for Real (2021)
I really liked it
This one was soo funny, I liked, that the main heroine was a little sarcastic and not the usual Hallmark darling that pleases everybody. Also liked the plotline and the scenery. Not the greatest movie of all time, but definitely worth watching at least once.
