Christmas with the Darlings (2020 TV Movie)
6/10
A good story but the movie missed the mark
4 January 2021
This movie had a good story but it just didn't come across well. The beginning was slow and I almost turned it off. However I did continue and it did get better. However Max and Jess had known each other for two years, so the idea that they knew nothing about each other and changed from what seemed like complete strangers to working together cooperatively seems improbable, at best. How did Max change so fast from being out on the ski slopes and away from the business to a caring adult with donations to the community? And no one knew? This is hard to swallow.

The children were far too well behaved especially since they had lost their parents, been shipped around the world and were heading to boarding school. Would there not be a bit of acting out? Of course, there should have been.

Jess's dress that she wore to the party looked terrible. The turquoise colour did not suit her and the dress didn't seem to fit her properly. What happened to the costume designer?

The children received sweaters as present right off the plane which seemed odd and even odder when they looked and handed them back. Then, lo and behold, the sweaters showed up at the end of the movie. Really? That didn't fit the ending for me at all.
