Looks Like Christmas (2016) Reviews
Nothing Exciting Here
I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 400 Christmas MOVIES. 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. I HAVE NO AGENDA. I AM FARE When two type-A single parents battle it out for control of the Christmas holiday at their kid's middle school, they get more than they bargained for when they learn a little something about the true meaning of Christmas, while opening themselves up for the possibility of a new romance. I wish this film didn't telegraph major plot lines long before they happen. If this is one is worth watching but only once!
Pretty Boring
I've never seen a movie with worse chemistry between the leading actor and actress. These two had zero chemistry, maybe negative chemistry. "Christmas Carol" and Terry are ripe for conflict and they do that OK, and seem to despise each other, which then makes the forced love story look really forced. The movie really has no plot and only functions along a set of contrived manufactured conflicts...add that to the bad chemistry between the leads and holy moly you have one of the worst Christmas time romantic movies of all time! Maybe they just had the objective to make a movie with no plot, I don't know. I expected much more. I would delete this if it shows up in your DVR.
Good actors, bad chemistry
I've seen both Anne Heche and Dylan Neal in many different things. Separate they're good, but together - they work as friends. I have to agree with the other reviewers that there's no chemistry between the two, and since it's supposed to be a Christmas love story, that's really bad. As really good friends they're great though. Since it's a Hallmark movie, I know which level we're at when it comes to cheesy and feel-good, and it's pretty okay, I just wish that they'd have a chemistry test before they started filming, and also, what's up with four families that all have just one kid? Isn't that just a tad weird? At least in my experience most couples actually have more than one child, would have been better if it was just a bit more realistic on that front. Other than that, it's a really okay Hallmark movie. The Christmas spirit is there, the cheesiness is there, and at least the people are good actors. I would still recommend it because the Christmas coziness is there.
Looks Like Christmas
This should not be a spoiler, since the movie has previously aired. Although I am a fan of both Anne Heche and Dylan Neal and looked forward to this movie, I have never seen less chemistry between two leading actors; however, in all fairness, that may be due to the soppy, non-story line. I fell asleep watching it the first time, so gave it another go. This is just about the most boring movie I have ever watched. The only actors who were remotely interesting were the teenage boy and girl of each of the respective actors. I like Dylan Neal and think he is a talented actor, but he didn't seem authentic at all in this movie, and neither did Anne Heche. Since they are both accomplished actors, I'd have to say this movie bombed because of the writers.
A Christmas Carol - NOT
This is airing in the UK as A Christmas Carol, though I think Looks Like Christmas sounds better: Maybe the studio are wanting viewers to watch thinking it is a version of Charles Dickens' classic tale. This comes nowhere near the classic tale. I have always liked Anne Heche, though it looks like she's slumped from the bigger budget movies into B-movie and Sci-Fi series, which is great for them to be able to have a great actress... unfortunately, they just don't use her to her fullest in this picture. The same can be said for Dylan Neal. I've seen them both do much better, maybe their hearts weren't in it, or it could've been the direction they were given, which is more likely. The direction is pretty average and keeps the film at a steady pace, though it was a little too slow for me at times. The story too is your stable fair for a Christmas Love story with no real twists to keep you engaged. One handicap of the writing and direction was Dylan Neals character, Terry, who could be downright rude to Anne Heche (Carol) to the point that I wondered why were these two people destined to be together. This is smack on the borderline of recommendation - do I or don't I recommend it? I just don't know. If you do choose to watch it and find you're not getting on with it for some reason, turn it off because it doesn't really change much throughout the film.
