A Christmas Cruise (2017) Reviews

• The love boat

  Prismark102018-11-07

  Vivica Fox plays journalist and aspiring novelist Pam Stevenson. Pam is invited by her best friend on festive themed Christmas cruise. Pam plans to get an article out of it but things do not start well as she has to sleep in a rollaway bed as there are not twin beds in their cabin. Pam dispenses life advice to other cruise guests such as a young engaged couple and finds romance herself with the cruise director. This is another run of the mill Christmas themed romance movie that is made for television. This one looks a bit more expensive, in short it was not made in Canada. They even use the Queen Mary that is docked in LA for exterior shots. Laughably, Fox who is in her 50s plays a child of the 90s, rather unconvincingly.

• Unlikeable characters badly done

  Truly bad film. Both the lead characters were unlikeable and didn't seem to like each other either. Moany, know it all male meets moany uncooperative woman and they live unhappily ever after. Awful script but the actors were convincingly unlikeable so I guess they were good?!

• No chemistry between the characterd

  The shots for the cruse ships were different. The first was the Queen Mary and the next shot looked like it was a standard cruise ship. Very little chemistry between characters.

• Doesn't click

  Neither of the leads is appealing and their chemistry is weak. I didn't care what happened between them. The guy with the foot problems was not funny but just annoying. The boat, oh sorry ship, is wimpy. Cruise directors have no time for flirting and besides that they all have real entertainment talents. You'd never catch him singing on a mic with a voice like St. John's. The story doesn't really go anywhere except to the predictable ending. And besides that it made no sense.

• Barely stays afloat

  Not enough happens in this romance between a writer and a cruise ship director. The guy is a bit disagreeable. Vivica is charming but it all looks one sided. She is unreasonable does she expect him to leave his job?
