Miss Christmas (2017)

Too much of everything

I wanted to but couldn't!

Crappy film

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Yeah, this was yet another mass produced Hallmark Christmas movie, that broke no new ground.It was as generic and scripted as they come, and I say that in the most possible positive manner, because this was not a bad movie. But it was one that follows a very over-used formula of 'how-to-make-a-Christmas-movie' that Hallmark uses repeatedly.The storyline in "Miss Christmas" was predictable, as it tends to be for movies such as this, and you knew exactly how the movie was going to end. However, there were some nice enough moments throughout the movie to make it worthwhile actually sticking with it to the very end.And I will say that both Brooke D'Orsay and Marc Blucas were performing quite well and really carried the movie quite nicely, which made it all the more enjoyable to watch.

I enjoyed watching this and I recommend it for anyone looking for a typical feel-good Hallmark movie. The leads have chemistry together and the supporting characters were enjoyable to watch. Some thought went into writing the script and there wasn't a lot of "stuff" that didn't make sense or was a ridiculous stretch. Granted, the choosing of a Christmas tree for a large city tree lighting starts 6-9 months, in advance, but who cares ... it's Hallmark. Most of us know what to expect in a Hallmark Christmas movie and the viewers get that ending. The towns that Hallmark uses to film in are usually super cute. I was a little disappointed with this filming location: it could have used more decorations. The snow falling scenes appear to be digitally added and there didn't seem to be a blue sky anywhere, which is a good thing. I did find it interesting that people were running around wearing sweaters, only, in December Wisconsin weather, though.

I really liked the story of the McNary family and Holly was a sweetheart who fit right in. The tree was so special to the family and it was a tough decision that turned out perfectly. Holly and Sam clicked immediately and had great chemistry. It was great to see Marc Blucas in another Christmas movie, he always plays a wonderful romantic hero.

I Have Reviewed OVER 400 ( C H R I S T M A S ) MOVIES so beware of fake reviews & reviewers. Many Christmas films only have 1 review. When it's a POSITIVE REVIEW chances are that the reviewer was involved with the production. If its a negative review then they may have a huge grudge against the film.I am fare about these films. The only reason why I review them is to keep track of what "I have seen". In this filmA lovely lady Nicknamed "Miss Christmas," the official tree finder for Chicago's renowned Radcliffe Tree lighting is left desperate to find the perfect tree. A letter from a young boy promising his tree is perfect sends her to a small town where she learns the young boy's dad isn't willing to part with his tree. Now any Christmas Film that has a "One Horse Open Sleigh" scene is almost guaranteed to get a rave review from me.Now what I like about this film is shows us how "Christmas Traditions" in your childhood get carried over when your an adult. In fact you miss the people that you lost the most at Christmas Time. Now this wasn't the greatest Hallmark Movie however the leads are pleasant. The film has faults but most films do. I will watch it againMerry Christmas
