A Christmas Proposal (2008 TV Movie)
6/10

Warning: Spoilers
I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 400 Christmas MOVIES.

BEWARE OF BOGUS REVIEWS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. NOW I HAVE NO AGENDA! I AM HONEST! I REVIEW Christmas MOVIES AS A WAY TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT I HAVE SEEN!

Lisa Donahue will do whatever possible to stop the demolition of the small ski town of Fillmore. She soon finds herself pitted against Rick Kirkland - her old boyfriend from high school and law school who is now the attorney handling the case. After winning the case, Rick's car ends up breaking down and he and his soon-to-be fiancé Reagan get stuck in Fillmore. He soon starts to second guess his proposals to both his job and his fiancé while rekindling his love for Lisa.

The Christmas TV-movie Cliché pile on and on in this one. To me this film was a huge wasted opportunity.

What I did not like was the fact the Rick's girlfriend/finance is written as being a "Rude City Girl" who keeps putting down the everything in this small town. When Ricks friends start sabotaging his relationship with her so he can get back together with Lisa the film would of worked 10x better if his girlfriend was nice! Then the Ricks old friends would of looked like jerks. It also would of had a been a better film is his girlfriend breaks up with him because she sees "He is happier" in his hometown. The icing on the cake is when she sees that his former girlfriend is smart and nice. Shee knows that they belong together. She then tells Rick to go back to Lisa because they truly are soulmates.

None of that happens. We get the same old, same old.

Now another gripe is that this film has too many musical montages and none of them are entertaining.
