Review of Christmas in the Smokies

I love corny Christmas movies, but this one was seriously the worst I've ever seen. The characters are unbelievably flat, and the plot was so thin it's shocking someone funded its production. The biggest "conflict" in the movie is that the main female character held a bitter grudge against her high school sweetheart. Throughout the movie, her hatred for this guy was so severe I thought he must have done something awful - like run out on her when she was pregnant or had cancer or something. Later, it's revealed that he left town when he was 17 (and a rising music star) and didn't return, and she was apparently traumatized by this. Even though she's like 30 now, she's still seriously wounded by his abandonment. When he finally acknowledges how he hurt her, his words were hilariously empty" "Shelby I never should have left you in the first place. I don't know why I didn't come back... I honestly don't know why." ... I DON'T KNOW WHY THiS MOVIE WAS MADE.
