Christmas Wonderland (2018) Reviews
Script and Acting have integrity
Though relatively formulaic, I found the story warm. Every actor gave solid performances. I really appreciated Emily Osment's acting. There is something refreshingly authentic about her that stands out, making you look forward to more of her work.
Unmemorable
I watched this movie all the way through a week ago and literally could not remember it. Even after starting it and ten minutes into it again, I couldn't remember anything about it except that I had seen it. I didn't watch it all again, but scanned some and re-watched some of it for these comments. The acting was fair at best. Something was missing in line delivery. The story was more of the same stuff recycled with nothing special to make it stand out. The climax and ending didn't sell. Choices didn't really make sense. I will say one thing positive about it. They didn't magically tie up half-a-dozen or more loose ends in a nice overly neatly wrapped package so that everyone down to the Christmas mouse was happy. There is also nothing really wrong with the movie other than less than stellar acting. It was still pleasant. If you aren't in the middle of binging dozens of Christmas movies and you have time for this one, it will probably be fine. But in the midst of Countdown to Christmas and Miracles of Christmas not to mention at least two other channels premiering several movies a week, this one is easy to lose in the crowd.
not memorable but cute
I can't say it wasn't predictable, but a very cute story. Not going to be very memorable or stand out in a crowd of made-for-tv holiday movies, but also not the worst I've ever seen. I really loved the mural she painted!
Emily needs to vary her speech patterns
This run of the mill Christmas movie isn't great. An art gallery assistant and a high school teacher reconnect when she return home. They had dated when in high school. As they prepare a place for a Christmas dance they bond. Emily Osment needs diction lessons. She delivers her lines in a fast monotone that is unseen in trained actors. She has a little chemistry with Ryan Rottman. Nice to see Kelly Hu again as Emily's boss. Nothing that special.
Wonderful in this Wonderland for romcom lovers
Heidi (Emily Osment) is from a small town but has resided in NYC for several years. Although she once dreamed of becoming an artist, she now helps run an art gallery for a very demanding lady. She paints on canvas very little. Yet, a call from her sister soon has her flying back to her little city. An opportunity too good to miss has come up for her real estate agent sis and her hubby so Heidi is asked to babysit for a few days. Once there, Christmas is fast approaching and her niece is preparing for a singing solo at the elementary school pageant while the nephew has a crush on a girl student. The crush has meant nephew can't concentrate on his studies so his caring teacher and hockey coach, Chris (Ryan Rottman) is trying to help bring his grades up. Wouldn't you know, Chris is also a former flame of Heidi's and neither of them has married! Soon, they are crossing paths as Chris is put in charge of decorating for the Snowball dance and Heidi is signed up for the same by her sis. Just what went wrong so many years before and is there hidden embers of love that can be flamed again? You betcha! This beautiful romance is one of the endless string of quality films by Hallmark, the pinnacle producer of modern romantic comedy. Osment and Rottman are two fetching and talented performers and backup cast, sets, costumes, script and direction all make for a winning view. Wonderland is wunnerful, wunnerful.
