Christmas in Tahoe (2021 TV Movie)
6/10
Shattered Dreams
3 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Laura Osnes works in her fathers resort hotel and is basically in charge. However, her dream is to manage a big entertainment venue in the entertainment capitol of the world: Las Vegas. If she can successfully book her father's Christmas show, the job is hers. After her star act cancels on her, the movie consists of her going around with her ex-boyfriend trying and to book replacement acts. Oh. Her ex is the head guitarist in a famous rock band who fired her as their manager when they started to hit it big. That is why he is her ex. The problem is that the famous rock star is too young and skinny looking for Laura, who has a mature look about her. He looks more like a junior accountant than a rock star.

The other problem is that to me, it seems as if her Dad knows something is up, and tries to emotionally blackmail her into staying with him. He puts her on blast making a speech about how proud he is of her and how he doesn't know how he could get along without her. Unfortunately he succeeds in his plan. She ends up giving up her dream to stay home and try to make her Dad's hotel an entertainment destination. Also she gives it up for her man, who is going stay there in Tahoe and write instead of perform. Which is his dream. So literally everyone gets their dream except poor Laura! Merry Christmas! Even her co-worker buddy and aspiring singer becomes the opening act for the rock band.

What is it with actors who think they can sing in Hallmark movies lately? Or was it that God-awful song? Hard to tell.

How ironic that Laura Osnes, who actually can sing, doesn't. Couldn't they even have given her a verse of Jingle Bells or something?
