Movie #2019 "Chateau Christmas" (hallmark) Well, this one was kind of a dumb one with not much going on except rehearsing for some big concert. The female lead, a concert pianist, has been accused by one critic to have lost her passion in playing, and she tends to agree. So she tries to get away and go home, but of course as these films usually go, she is asked by her old boyfriend to play in their big function. She supposedly rehearses & practices all week to play a completely new number at the end of the concert! ? hmmm?. And the resolution doesn't really resolve because years ago the leads broke up because they were going in different directions, and now by the end of this they decide to get back together, still going in different direction , each following separate dreams. I didn't get it. what I did like is that for this big concert, they had to get back together a quartet who had not seen or talked to each other since they broke up (much like the leads) and in fact, the lead guy and girl in the quartet loved each other at one time (I guess you can figure out where this is going). So parallel love stories abound in this one. I give it a 3 out of 5. The Chateau is pretty. I usually like the guy (MacFarlane) , which is why I watched the film, but this story gave him very little to do --- oh, he does fake play in the quartet due to a death of one of its original members. but not enough.
