Movie #1655 "Entertaining Christmas" --- well, I'm down to the last couple of Hallmark Christmas films (these were on the DVR that I taped during the season) , and I think I'm glad I'm coming to an end because this one was just okay. The plus here is the plot --- but it's constantly the same thing over and over. It revolves around a daughter of a Martha Stewart type woman who can't cook or sew like her mom, and yet she is expected to take over the business. Mom sends daughter to answer a harmless kid's request which turns into a big local town's christmas festivities that the daughter is now standing in for the mom and finds she can't do any of it! All that is okay at the beginning of the film because the script has creative ways for her to get out of each scrape, but then the "guy" steps in --- he's a journalist who thinks she is a fake (smart guy!) Now that would still not be a bad turn except there is absolutely no chemistry in this couple. The guy is really a stiff --- it's like she is talking to a wall. So the film doesn't work for me. I give it a 3 out of 5. It's the story that shines here.
"ENTERTAINING CHRISTMAS" 2018 1 hour and 30 mins
"Claire is a cookbook author, crafting expert, and television personality whose name is synonymous with perfection. As she contemplates retirement, her daughter Kara (Sweetin) is poised to become the new face of the Livingston brand. The only trouble is, Kara can't cook. Or sew. Or do any of the signature things her mother is known for. When a young girl posts a video online requesting Claire help welcome her deployed father home for Christmas, Kara is sent in her place in an effort to prove herself a worthy successor to the board of directors and win the job. As Kara does her best to make a good impression, she gets more than she bargained for when the young girl's uncle Joe turns out to be a reporter for the local paper, looking for his next story."
