JDidn't really know what...Jolly Good Christmas<br /><br />JDidn't really know what to expect of this movie.<br /><br />Will Kemp, of course, is remembered for the enchanting Christmas Waltz but I hadn't heard of Reshma Shetty before.<br /><br />Right from the start you could feel the amazing chenistry between David and Anji although Will's American accent was a bit off-putting - I don't think him being American particularly added anything to the story.<br /><br />The movie was filmed in London so the setting was authentic and it was good to see so many familiar landmarks.<br /><br />I felt there was a lot of depth to the movie, the dialogue was to the point and witty and the situations were entertaining if perhaps a little OTT!<br /><br />David's girl-friend was stiff and lacking in emotion.<br /><br />I particularly enjoyed the glimpses into Anji's Indian heritage and it was nice the way they portrayed her parents with upper-class British accents and running a pub!<br /><br />It was just unfortunate that they decided to include a gay couple as David's best friends but they didn't take up overmuch screen time and I could live with this - unfrotunately, of course, this means that many here won't watch this movie which is sad as it is well worth an airing.<br /><br />One particularly pleasing aspect was a superb ending - something which Hallmark often fails to provide now.<br /><br />There was no ambiguity and the short "one year later" clip gave the feeling of permanence which sadly I don't feel is the norm now.<br /><br />If only they had given the same thought to the ending of Christmas Waltz instead of the shoddy one they employed it could have been the best Hallmark Christmas movie ever.<br /><br />If the rest of Hallmark's Christmas output is anywhere near this standard then it's going to be a great Season and it's removed a little of the bad taste left in my mouth after A Cozy Christmas Inn.<br /><br />Florence's rating 9 - could have been a rare 10 but for the inclusion of the gay couple.<br /><br /><br />As the Blog says "It's A Wonderful Movie" and at least it'<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945596937015597963.post-35298302657394388042022-11-08T17:02:01.668-05:002022-11-08T17:02:01.668-05:00But I still have a landline.

Morning Mist!!!! YIKES!!!! Wouldn't that be awful??? YEEESSS!!!! <br /><br />That would be no different than how they just destroyed "Christmas Under Wraps" happy love story. I mean, if Lauren never went back, then that would mean - she didn't follow her heart, after all. The story is essentially useless.<br /><br />I'm not even a big fan of "Christmas Under Wraps" to begin with, but I still find this to be extremely wrong - in so many ways. I'm so glad you all feel the same.<br /><br />I'll try to forget about "A Cozy Christmas Inn," but it's kinda hard to do.Net - "It's a Wonderful Movie"https://www.blogger.com/profile/01680194388277190995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945596937015597963.post-15968542272773962932022-11-04T22:10:46.432-04:002022-11-04T22:10:46.432-04:00Haha yes!!

And of course at the end they find out that the two persons are one and the same. While in You've Got Mail it made sense that they wouldn't know this until well into the movie, here they should have at least considered it early on if not figuring it out.

That said, maybe I'm biased here, because Merritt has become one of my favorite actresses. There could probably be a movie of her reading a phone book in front of a Christmas fire, and I would praise it! ;) (Oh, for those of you young ones, a phone book is what people used years ago to...oh, never mind!)
