Movie #2046 ........................."Christmas for Keeps" (Hallmark)

 Movie #2046 "Christmas for Keeps" (Hallmark) -- this should have been a fun watch for me, since it is based on a group of h.s. theatre students who come back to honor their theatre director.  The idea was great, and it actually showed how much of an honor it is to have the theatre named after them (an experience that is near and dear to me, and it IS truly an HONOR) --- all that is terrific in the film, BUT the acting of the 5 kids is really bad.  And they stumble along trying to help in the ways that they can --- and that isn't too bad, but the acting really hurts this film.  That, and some of the clunky dialogue.  Too bad, because it was a very good idea, I thought.  I'd give it 3 out of 5.
