Christmas Belle (2013)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

I love this movie so much

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

I would give this movie a -11 if I could. It is absolutely terrible, not five seconds goes by without some melodramatic music, like they couldn't come up with enough of a plot to give the actors dialog or everyone in the movie has memory loss and can't recall more than 10 words at a time. I've watched more than my share of corny b or c rated lifetime movies (and some repeatedly when the remote was lost, too far away or even by choice as they were citchy enough to be cute) but in this case watching paint dry, being stuck in rush hour traffic or searching for a parking spot during the heighten of Christmas season would have been less painful and a better use of my time.

I love cheesy love movies but this, wow somebody turn that music off...not up, off! It really ruined it. The running with the shirt off takes up half the movie. But the music takes up 99% of the movie. Who the h decided on this? It could be in the musicals genre. You try to turn up the volume to hear them talk and instead you get this crappy music blaring. My suggestion. ...mute and put the subtitles on. I can put up with a lot...matterr of fact im still tolerating the movie cause I have to finish but I did create an account cause I feel people need to know about it. What do I not want for Christmas? The worlds longest movie soundtrack ever.

So um, was this supposed to be a comedy or a romantic Christmas story? First off, the whole movie is practically a spin-off of Beauty and the Beast… the main character's name is even Belle. Throughout the WHOLE ENTIRE MOVIE the music N.E.V.E.R. STOPS! And what is with the random scenes where the guy is running without his shirt on? My family and I laughed the entire time, especially once we found out it was a spin-off of Beauty and the Beast. If you're going to make a crappy movie then at least have your own dialogue and not a stolen Disney one! I will forever watch this movie… only for a good laugh. When deleting scenes, the director should have just cut the whole movie. The acting was not terrible, but the poor quality filming led the crew to put organ music over ALL SCENES. Most dialogue was either irrelevant or awkward and once again the music made everything worse. The only reason i would ever make someone watch this movie would be for them to share my sentiments on the overall quality of this movie. The dog was by far the best actor in this Christmas movie.

WOW! I think my eyes are bleeding.● Script => PAINFUL● Dialog => COMICALLY AWFUL ● Music => INCESSANT, JARRING ● Wardrobe => AWFUL ● Set => HORRIBLY MISMATCHED (Location and Writing staff NEVER talked) ● Direction => AWFUL The two men competing for the affection of the lead actress (no names are used here to protect the innocent) are both so "over the top" in their inappropriate behaviors that it's a wonder she doesn't go screaming into the night. The main setting is supposedly an old, high-end, family home, but the house is obviously newly built. The script is constantly referring to a cluttered home full of the lifetime memories of the previous owners, but all we see is a sparsely-decorated house -- no photos, no memorabilia. It looks like a generic model home. Descriptive dialog doesn't accurately describe the settings. And camera angles are often so tight that it's not always clear that the home exteriors are to the same house. Some shots look like the exterior of an upscale mobile home.The "responsible" dad character does inappropriate things left and right.The lead actress is pretty, but she is way above her ideal weight in this movie. The first half of the movie has her dressed in slimming clothes so you don't really notice her weight. But the second half sees her outfitted in clothes that highlight her ... um ... Reubenesque figure. (At times she looks like she outweighs her male lead.) Was the wardrobe department eliminated in the middle of the production? Was there some falling out between the actress and the wardrobe supervisor? Was the catering department fired, so somebody brought in day-old donuts everyday as a substitute? Was the Wardrobe Department actually the local thrift shop? Wardrobe choices are so bad at the end, you'll want to look away.The 'Beauty and the Beast' allusions are tortured at best. They feel like they were tacked on at the last moment. Change two or three words in the script and the connection disappears.The script calls for the man's dog to display a new preference for the lead actress. But when he calls the dog to himself, it appears that the actress is holding the dog in place to keep the dog by her side. Either there was no budget for a trained dog, or nobody bothered to storyboard the scene, or they didn't understand how to capture all the elements of the scene separately and combine them as needed during editing, or the film editor was a hack. Take your pick.A "solarium" plays an important setting in the story, but it's a room built from stone with a window on just one (north-facing?) wall. The sun literally does not shine in this "solarium". So the points of the story that presuppose sunshine in the room are not possible.The "Christmas" setting is completely superfluous. It could easily have been any other holiday. Or last Saturday for that matter. In fact, the movie looks like it was filmed in the late spring. There are "blooming" roses (although some of them look and sound like they were cannibalized from dried flower arrangements). Stock footage of new green grapes on the vine is used, etc. This is supposed to be the middle of December? You can't take a spring day and tack a red ribbon on the wall and think it will effectively convey "Christmas". But that is exactly what the set decorators did in multiple scenes.The movie is chock full of these jarring, incongruous moments. It wouldn't surprise me if this movie started life as a standard "springtime" Rom-Com flick, but in the middle of production it was canned because the dailies were so bad. Yet somehow they won a reprieve after the writer promised to turn it into "Christmas movie" fodder on the cheap.I like corny Christmas movies, but the main attraction here is the epic awfulness. This is a strong candidate for the worst Xmas movie ever. If you ever hold a "bad movie night" with friends, this would be an easy target for MST3K treatment.★ ONE STAR for some of the supporting actors who do a fine job in spite of the writing/direction/cinematography/editing (which often seems little better than what you might see in an uninspired school project). I had considered giving it a second star because at least it does not have an (implied) sex scene (which wrecks so many otherwise acceptable Xmas movies for family viewing). But then I remembered the many interminable and pointless shots of the "good" man without his shirt on. (They become so ridiculous that even the lead actress pleads with him to stop -- but to no avail.) If I think about it anymore I may need to take away the one star I gave it, so I'll stop here.
