Smart Christmas

2018 Bulgarian, subtitled movie n Netflix. Ok, so I know time moves differently in the North Pole in order for the magic of Christmas to actually work, but if the elves are still collecting letters and checking the naughty and nice list on xmas Eve night, I have very serious concerns. I’m just saying, that’sContinue reading “Smart Christmas”

Just Another Christmas

Just Another Christmas is set in Brazil, is dubbed in English and on Netflix. The voiceover artist for the main character spends the first half an hour shouting. Initially, there’s not a lot of finesse in this performance but stick with it, it’s worth it in the end. Netflix describes this as a time-loop movie,Continue reading “Just Another Christmas”

His And Her Christmas

His and Her Christmas is a 2005 Christmas monstrosity. This movie is a slog. At 30 minutes in, you finally get the first glimpse of Christmas but this disappears quickly. The male lead’s best friend carries the show and all of the first 40 minutes could have been summed up in 5minutes. The steady camContinue reading “His And Her Christmas”

A Cinderella Story: A Christmas Wish

A Cinderella Story: A Christmas Wish is a 2019 Warner Bros. film. So so so much cringe!! My face hasn’t quite recovered from all the cringe. My teenage self would have loved this movie but my middle-aged self just cringed. The acting was good, the premise was good and the dog was adorable. Once youContinue reading “A Cinderella Story: A Christmas Wish”

Christmas Under Wraps

Upon second watching of Christmas Under Wraps, we can summarise that this falls comfortably within the category of crappy Christmas movie. We have become a little immune to the cringes but this has very few and some touching moments. Once again, Candace Cameron Bure is the female lead and we are starting to see whyContinue reading “Christmas Under Wraps”

Christmas Made to Order

Christmas made to Offer is a 2018 Hallmark movie that we watched on Netflix. This has an unusual premise that had us assuming the worst and when the decorating was done in 5 minutes, we were a little dubious. But actually, this movie is lovely and absolutely worth a watch (probably only the once). TheContinue reading “Christmas Made to Order”

Finding Santa

Finding Santa is a 2017 Hallmark movie. We have nothing bad to say about this one. No complaints – only a few mild cringes – and all supporting actors and extras were brilliant. There’s plenty of soul-searching, beautiful decorations and festive beverages throughout. The chemistry between each character was lovely and Jodie Sweetin and EricContinue reading “Finding Santa”

A Very Nutty Christmas

This is our second viewing of A Very Nutty Christmas; a Lifetime movie starring Melissa Joan Hart. It stands up to a second viewing very nicely with fewer cringes. It has beautiful snowy backdrops, wonderfully decorated sets and thousands of mouth-watering Christmas cookies. The child extras are extra-specially special and her dress at the ballContinue reading “A Very Nutty Christmas”

48 Christmas Wishes

48 Christmas Wishes had us asking 48 questions within the first 11 minutes. Such as, what is that elf doing to the clock? How are they painting that train? Why’s Santa laughing at the cookies? Who let the kid decorate? Why is the dresser in front of the window? Why couldn’t George’s ears match hisContinue reading “48 Christmas Wishes”

A Christmas to Remember

After a string of less than favourable Crappy Christmas Movies, we were a bit dubious going into Hallmark’s A Christmas to Remember. Fortunately, we were pleasantly surprised by its charm and spirit. It’s the classic ‘big city girl falls in love with small town guy’ set in a remote and snowy town, but with theContinue reading “A Christmas to Remember”
