A Taste of Christmas (2020 TV Movie)
9/10
Anni Krueger

I can't believe how much I enjoyed this movie. I never heard of most of these actors, certainly not Anni Krueger. Her list of credits for acting is incredibly short to have a lead even in a two hour movie.

This movie is proof to me that a movie can be good even when it follows all the formulas for a Rom/Com, and with leads I haven't grown familiar with.

When I watch one of these movies, if I smile a few times, I consider the humor good. In this movie I was laughing. Yes, out loud. Krueger is a natural. Her timing is good. She's self-effacing yet also with an inner confidence. She can be a total klutz and yet not take it to the point of being silly.

Krueger and Gilles Marini have instant chemistry. Emma Myers and Andrew Brodeur do also, as the secondary romance. They are so cute.

The dialogue is good. It's funny when it needs to be, sometimes with one liners. It can get serious or romantic. It never goes overboard.

I said it follows the formulas. It that way it is a little too cliché. Some of the situations are boarding on too silly. Still, I enjoyed it immensely.
