Movie #1615 "A Very Nutty Christmas" -- oh boy, they are getting worse. I thought this would be a cute one, but it wasn't. Not at all. Well, except for Barry Watson, who plays the nutcracker, and Conchetta Farell, who plays Hart's neighbor. But the script is dopey, the lead, Hart, is awful --- I am not sure why she ever had her own show --- she is always in one mode of speaking --- not a strong actor, and the secondary people are goofy ---- And the story doesn't go anywhere, but then when I sat down and read the synopsis of the Nutcracker itself, it doesn't seem to go anywhere either. I have a feeling if I were a big fan of the Nutcracker , I would probably have enjoyed the nuances here, more, but all the time I was watching it, I couldn't get the "Kate/Leopold" film out of my mind because it seemed to be about the same type of film. I would give this a 2.5 --- only thing worth watching here is Barry Watson, and when he isn't in the film, big gap. not recommended. I wouldn't bother, unless you are a fan of the Nutcracker.
"A VERY NUTTY CHRISTMAS" 2018
Kate, a workaholic baker, has given up on Christmas, especially this year, when her boyfriend dumps her and she's got to fill an order of 12,000 cookies before Christmas. However, the gift of a magic nutcracker who turns into a real man makes the once cynical Kate understand the magic and beauty of Christmas--and of love.
