A Christmas Blessing (2023)
Cute and easy to watch.
I enjoyed the movie. Did anyone else catch in the very beginning when her assistant wants her to take her on the trip Lucy's reply" I have a husband and kids" to which assistant replies "we can send post cards" yet in Milwaukee she is alone and can fall in love with someone else?
In any case it is a cute movie speaking to the spirit of Christmas. It is low key but effective. Easy to figure out the plot but definitely warms the heart.
I don't think it utilized the acting skills of the cast, but they worked well together. Some things like fixing the black ice patch would have been a good catch instead of it hanging around throughout the movie. I think Otto explained the reason the decorations were up year round is because Christmas was Susie's favorite holiday. I keep my Santa Clauses out all year as well as my nativity scene so I can imagine a foodbank keeping the decorations up all year as a reminder of why they are there in the first place.
Haul Out the Holly: Lit Up (2023)
Definitely one to skip.
I am an avid Christmas movie junkie. Have not missed one in years. However, I started to waych this one and could not finish it I was so disappointed. I thought the first one was strange but at least I was able to watch the whole movie. This time I just cannot. It is not funny in the areas where you think you should be laughing. I just don't feel any Christmas spirit coming through. The first few minutes I just want to have the new neighbors just put in their van and sent on their way! Just cannot sit through this one. I think they could have thought up a much better movie for the cast . Also will be researching Hallmark movies more closely.
