Christmas By Candlelight (2023) -
Erin Agostino as Juliet was ditzy and a bit much. I thought that it might have worked better with her as the creative candlemaker and him as the executive actually. She did seem a bit like a big eyed Anna Kendrick too.
And while Harmon Walsh was attractive, I didn't feel that connected with his character Tom, or find him as appealing as some of the others that have appeared in these films.
I also didn't want the pair to get together because he just wasn't right for her and I felt that she would drag him down with her constantly overzealous drive and hyperactivity.
The overall production seemed a few years older than it was as well. It seemed a bit behind the times and the acting didn't feel that brilliant either. Some of the lines of dialogue seemed a bit unthought out too, as if they had just opted for the first draft of the script.
It was ultimately fine as these things go, but there are a lot of others of this genre that would always take precedence over watching this one again.
5.44/10.
