Finding Christmas (2013) Reviews
Enjoyable Christmas Movie.
It is one of the few Christmas love story movies that isn't too sappy. It does help it to be the holiday season to watch it. The cast is composed of familiar faces and it is interesting to see the beautiful Ms. Helfer in a different setting. The male leads are well acted as well. Another Hallmark Channel production to go along with their Christmas themed movies that is filmed in Canada with a large Canadian supporting cast. If you like country music this has a few Christmas songs with a country accent. It is slow to start but by ten minutes into the movie it picks up speed and is good enough that you won't be checking your watch. All in all an enjoyable Christmas movie.
I loved it
Way to bring in the Christmas spirit and renew your belief that you can find love again. If you enjoyed the book-to movie, "Home For the Holidays",( Debbie Macomber's, "When Christmas Comes"), from the Hallmark Channel, you will love this semi-similar storyline from a male perspective. This film captures the drama and sentiment of a novel without being overly "corny" or obnoxious. There is nothing I enjoy more than a romance story set at Christmas time. Two men, from very opposite styles of living swap places. Each looking to fulfill their lives, they look outside of themselves and their comfort zones... The rest of the story is for you to enjoy, and hopefully, watch year after year, as I intend to do.
Wonderful movie !
I loved this movie, like most Hallmark movies. This one especially made me think a little more about certain issues in my own life and relationship. There was a quote towards the end of the movie and I can't remember the entire verbatim quote. Hope someone can reply. It started with something to the nature of "Preparing for the future and not focusing on the present"--I know these are not the exact words, but it sure hit home with me. It made me realize that preparing and focusing so much on the future can sure make you not see what's in front of you at the present time, and I believe that is what the message of the quote was. If anyone can please post the entire quote on here, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Happy New Year
Nice movie with a delightful surprise...
This movie has a somewhat predictable plot line, as do most of the Hallmark holiday movies: boy meets girl, boy loses girl (through a series of misunderstandings), and boy and girl finally get together. In this case, it's a gender reversal of the movie "The Holiday". There are some cute twists to the story and the dialog is believable. Unfortunately, as is usual for Hallmark, the characters are a little simplistic, so I was pleasantly surprised ... no, DELIGHTFULLY surprised at J.T. Hodges' cover of "Joy to the World." It was wonderful. His rendition was simple, fresh, while still being respectful. It made me want to hear more and I've watched the movie twice just to hear the song again.
Two (gems) for the price of one
We have two love stories in this Christmas romance. The story is unusual in that sense, especially since the two are related but take place several states apart. The first gem is Tricia Helfer. I've seen her as a solid actress in a lot of things, but in this one she really drew me into the story. I thought especially that if you contrast Helfer's sincerity with either of the rival girls, you could see Ryan's love. Meanwhile you could clearly see in contrast that, even Kimber, played well by Brittany Gray, wasn't sincere as she professed her love for Owen. It was good acting by both Helfer and Gray. Jessica Phillips, as Halo, was a little more obvious what she wanted. I wish I thought that Mark Lutz, the beau opposite Helfer, was as good as her. Not bad, just not as good. The other gem is the singing of J.T. Hodges. I love these Christmas movies when a talented star sings. His character, Owen, was in the other love story with Mia. Hodges was good in his acting, again not as good as Helfer. As for the last main player, I thought that Cristina Rosato delivered a lot of her lines stiffly. This is one Hallmark movie where the kid didn't steal the show, nor was he intended to. He was cute, but really not central to the story. The story was mostly straight forward. We expect some roadblock on the way to happiness, and both romances got one.
