Christmas in Tahoe (2021 TV Movie)
6/10
Not too bad but mismatched leads
19 December 2023
Other reviewers have touched on this: the male lead is much too young for the female lead. I agree but I would say that neither is bad or unsuited for the role. They just don't fit together. I think that, in terms of "quality" they are basically the same level actors. I initially caught a scene from the middle of the film and thought they were mother and son (for which the age difference seemed too small) or maybe some sort of family (baby brother/cousin/nephew...). I got a chance to see it from start to finish and was surprised to find out they went to school together and were dating.

The film is watchable (once) if you don't focus on the leads' physical attributes too much. Either a younger lady or an older gentleman, for one of the lead roles, would have made it good (in the context of Christmas romances, where expectations are already low).

The plot, as usual, is exaggerated but better than many others.

The music is not completely atrocious although I agree with what others have said about the a cappella group: they butchered the songs showcased here. Again, expectations for these low cost, "assembly line" romances is very low, for me.

Cover your ears for the a cappella, cover your eyes for the (fortunately few) kissing scenes and you should be able to enjoy it.
