Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Good idea lost in the noise

There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

A couple meet at a Christmas festivity. They dance and bond but he is posting overseas for work and so they don't start a relationship. Every year they meet up he's in a relationship then she until finally - you know what. Arielle Kebbel looks prettier than she did in Vampire Diaries fine for Hallmark / Lifetime standard. Corey Sevier is the guy and they have a good enough chemistry.It's often something that happens to couples sometimes the timing isn't right. Just have to wait till things are right.At least there is a sweep of time and no unnecessary contrived drama at the end.

The premise for this movie is a little different but not unique. Chloe only gets to see her "one" at Christmastime every year, and every year there is something keeping them apart after Christmas. This movie also uses the rival girlfriend and the rival boyfriend plot device, but not exactly in the usual way. I felt the movie was stretched too long without enough interesting and new content. The ending was especially too stretched out.The other big reason I didn't enjoy this movie is a combination of feeling really bad for Ted and the movie's over-obsession with "waiting for the one". Ted is presented as much more likeable than most rival boyfriends. But Chloe obsesses for years over a man she has only spent a few hours with. I could go into more detail but that ventures into spoiler territory.Arielle Kebbel seems to be coasting in the role of Chloe. And Chloe starts to be a little annoying in her indecision. Corey Sevier, as Evan, seems to do a better job. But is there chemistry? They certainly hit it off the first Christmas, but Evan has a job in Oslo and has to leave. If they hit it off so well, why is there no contact during the year. We have video chat technology now (which is actually used with Chloe and her mom). I bring up chemistry - in the succeeding years there is something more immediate in their way and the chemistry has disappeared. It has been replaced by mind-numbing preoccupation. I thought the movie just became sad or even pitiful after the first Christmas.Markie Post makes a good mom, but she and Judge Reinhold overact a bit. Cassidy Nugent as the little girl is fine, but she never grows up even as years pass.Many viewers will be happy to overlook the problems I mention, and if that's the case, you will probably enjoy the movie as much as any in this genre.

Plot nicely done and well played by cast. Think the lead deserves more and better roles. She can act and is so beautiful.

see my full review herealittleofallblog.wordpress.com/2017/12/04/four-christmases-and- a-wedding-lifetime-movie/Lifetime has gorgeous productions. But it lacks a certain Christmas flamboyance. The movie has every Christmas decor imaginable but from the beginning, the Christmas excitement lacks.
