This one doesn't stand out from the crowd, but as a romantic movie, it holds up. The acting performances are decent, and the storyline is familiar.

Christmas on My Mind

Plot

Christmas on the Bayou

Plot

Katherine is busy between work and taking care of her son. When her boss gives her time off over Christmas, she goes home to her mother in Louisiana. At home, she is confronted by her childhood friend Caleb, whom she liked when she was little.

Short review

The movie is decently well made, but the rating is dragged down by how her mother don't give a crap about what Katherine wants and tries to get her together with Caleb and give up her career in New York. It would be liberating with a film where she shuts her mother up and finds a nice man who will support her in her choices.

Plot

Ashley goes to her uncle and aunt's over Christmas to find that they have sold her mother's old convertible that she and her mother used to drive around giving Christmas presents in. She begins to track down where the car went and is helped by her uncle's lawyer, Duncan.

Short review

A bit silly with the car as a theme, but it works as romantic movie I suppose.

Hannah's dating app goes badly and before Christmas she is asked by her partner in the company to go home to think about how they can save the company. To her father's delight, she follows the advice.

Hannah convinces her father to participate but he only participates if Hannah also participates. Hannah begins to exchange letters and her anonymous pen pal gains her interest. At the same time, she reconnects with Sam, her old boyfriend from school days.

Melissa is angry about the divorce and takes it out on Charlotte, among others, at school. At the same time, Jennifer and Nate get to know each other and cautiously start dating, but they don't know that their daughters have a conflict

Short review

This film doesn't start very well, it feels a bit stiff and you lack empathy. However, the conflict between the daughters lifts the film a bit, which is why it gets a 4 in the rating anyway. You have to live with the fact that the solution requires a personality change that may not be completely credible.

A real 'feel good' film without major complications. If you have a problem with sugary sweets, this is not the right movie, but if you like that kind of thing, this is a really romantic movie.

Christmas at the Chateau

Plot

Brooke runs an Inn that is threatened by a nefarious bank that calls in on a loan that is due with the property as collateral. She gets to know the banker in charge.

Short review

Who released this movie to the market? The story is childish. Regina sucks. The actors are half-baked. Sometimes it's like they filmed it with a dark filter on one of two cameras. The cutting? Sometimes a dialogue is going on while the actors (who are holding the dialogue) sits still without moving their mouths. The whole movie looks like it was made in the 70s but is actually from 2019. An unmitigated disaster.

You'd think it's a standard romantic movie, and it is, but it's so amateurishly executed that it falls flat. It gives the concept 'wooden' a face. The older people's Italian accent is sometimes laughable.

A decently good romantic film that is unusual in that the main character, Izzi, is played by wheelchair-bound Ali Stoker. It's almost a little annoying though that this fact is almost ignored in the plot.

Plot

Hanna takes it upon herself to manage the museum in Evergreen and at the same time Elliot, her boyfriend, wants to expand his business outside of Evergreen. Their relationship is tested.

Short review

This is the fourth film in the Christmas in Evergreen series and in my opinion the worst. It never takes off and the thrill of the romance never comes.

The publicity may be needed as her large-scale competitor tries to squash her store just like they did her grandfather's store.

Short review

A good romantic film in the name of cheese. Another film about David's fight against Goliath and to find love in the process. The film is not entirely without cheesy jokes

Short review

I'll admit that I didn't have high expectations for this movie. The story sounded like it could derail into boyishness etc. quite thoroughly. But judge by my surprise that they actually managed to make a pretty good romantic movie out of it. Even if the end is a bit implausible.
