You, Me & the Christmas Trees (2021)
Pandemic pinking of nits.....needlessly
As I look over the reviews, it seems the weariness and grumpiness from the past 18 months infected many of the reviews, much like the trees in this movie. This movie may not deserve an Oscar, but the typical Hallmark hallmarks, love, family, tradition and friends, are all present. Taken at face value, just enjoy something that try's to share a little joy and hope. To the reviewer that played the ever present diversity card, give it a rest. Love, joy and family knows no color or any other diverse group. It's the same for all of us, regardless of who portrays a character in a movie.
I enjoyed everybody in this movie no matter how large or small the role was, what color, faith or lifestyle was portrayed.
Save the Wedding (2021)
Inane, Insipid and Insufferable
Over the past few months, there have been some genuinely well written and acted movies on Hallmark as part of their new batch of films. THIS is the polar opposite. Poorly acted, lamely written and disjointed editing renders a hallmark Hallmark premise Inane, Insipid and Insufferable.
Deliver by Christmas (2020)
New spin on the Hallmark formula
As a man of a certain age, I have come to appreciate anything that celebrates kindness, decency, virtue and honor. Most guys complain about watching Hallmark with their wives. Not me. Hallmark has been a breath of fresh air from long ago.
With that said, my thoughts are this; with one exception, the cast was awesome. As mentioned before me, the new spin of having the leads instantly being attracted to each other, yet taking a circuitous route to connecting, is a nice touch. My lone quibble is Eion Bailey. The persona he presents seems sullen and disconnected, with an underlying sense of anger, to everyone around him. He musters up kindness only when confronted. Usually, when the leads finally unite, there's a sense of joy. Not in this case. Alvina August radiates a glow through the whole movie. You can't help but root for her, but Mr. Bailey never, in my opinion, generated any chemistry with her. So when the movie ended, it was like.......meh, what other Hallmark movie have we got recorded.
Even so, the movie was quite good. I just don't believe I'll watch it when it hits the rerun cycle later
