The Christmas Cure (2017) Reviews

• Nothing Special

  Christmas-Reviewer2017-10-17

  BEWARE OF BOGUS REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION & THAT IS WHAT IS GOING ON HERE FOR THIS FILM! TRUST ME THIS FILM IS TERRIBLE. NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 300 Christmas MOVIES. I HAVE NO AGENDA. I AM FARE By watching the first three minutes of this film you will know how the next 2 hours are going to go. What was nice about the film was the locations they used for the film. It was beautiful. In this film a doctor returns home for Christmas to find that her father has decided to retire from his own practice. After reuniting with her high school sweetheart, she wonders if she should stay and take over her father's practice. What was nice about this film was the fact this wasn't about a family that were trying to put the pieces of their lives back together. It is not about a poor widow woman who has given up on love. Mainly it is a story about many people and the choices that are making they will impact the rest of their lives. This is not a bad movie. Its just things you have seen 100X before.

• Not as much romance story as family story

  Vanessa is a big city trauma doctor up for promotion. She returns home for a short Christmas holiday, where her father is a small town doctor. Most of the rest of her story is about being shown that even small town doctors save the world in their own way. The romance is with Mitch, her long-past boyfriend who she's know most of her life. There isn't much romancing, relatively speaking. The connection is obvious and goes back to childhood, but Vanessa isn't really letting it get romantic. The things that convince her are more incremental than sudden, so there are no huge surprises. But this is where the heart-warming part of the story lies. In the end, it is the small town practice that hooks her, but big Hallmark surprise, she ends up with Mitch too. Brooke Nevin appears to be a rising star in the Hallmark movie world. She is charming and beautiful and does this kind of story well.

• Nothing to see here

  This is a very bland story with no real conflict. There are no villains that are fun to root against. Not even a somewhat jerk of a current fiancé that our hero has to compete against. The two leads are likable and it is nice to see Patrick Duffy again. There is nothing spectacularly stupid that happens here(so no joy there, either!). Just a young doctor who decides she prefers a slow-paced small town practice to the fast paced big city hospital. No mystery, no big reveals, no tough decisions, no struggles, no humor. And the small town setting vs. The big city has been done to death. It is Christmassy, though. Lots of decorations.

• a real treat of a movie - warm and kind

  If you are looking for a Christmas movie with a heart to enjoy - this is it! A real joy. A warm and kind sort of a film, would be complemented by a cup of coco under the duvet. Brooke Nevin is gorgeous and a flawless actress, who is a joy to watch. Plenty of snow, holly, goodwill, Christmas trees and a few miracles.

• Another great career in the city and the love nterest in the small town

  A doctor in the city is about to become head of trauma. When she returns to her small town she rekindles a romance with her childhood sweetheart. Her father is about to retire from his small town practice. The cast is likeable enough. It's nostalgic to see Patrick Duffy as the father all grey haired. He is still a welcome presence on screen. Note to Hallmark: a little tired of giving up a great career and life in the big city for the charms of the small town. Everything she has worked and achieved don't count for anything? Why can't the small town person ever move to the city. Few are good enough to make it. Not a must watch.
