Movie #2178 "We Wish You A Married Christmas" (Hallmark 2022) this one is the worst of the first crop to me --- it was slow and boring, and I was very disappointed because usually this guy stars in the most creative and funniest Hallmark movies, but I guess that was Christmas past --- because not this time. Here's how I knew it was pretty bad --- the editor/director showed the stock picture of the place they were staying in about 25 times --- AND they kissed about 30 minutes in --- hmmm. sure sign of trying to do something different here but not succeeding.... there was no chemistry between the two, and there should be because they have been married for years. I know the whole idea is that they have moved in different directions and are now finding their way back to each other, but that journey slugged along so slowly and boringly with reminiscing and keeping busy for the sake of keeping busy that I didn't really have the patience to get to the end ---- but I made it, and because it was Hallmark's last couple of minutes again, of tying up loose ends, it didn't work for me to convince me that it will work for them. Here's hoping! I give this a 3 and just say that you don't need to watch this one really --- because it doesn't stand out like this guy's films usually do.
"WE WISH YOU A MARRIED XMAS" 2022 one hour and 24 mins
It follows a married couple having a hard time connecting. To try to reconnect, they check into a cozy inn in a small town during the holiday season --- with two keys.
Director: Paul Ziller
Writer: Nicole Baxter
Actors: Marisol Nichols, Kristoffer Polaha
PS ---- this actress Marisol Nichols evidently graduated from College of DuPage, did speech and theatre there and at Naperville North (I might have judged her on speech circuit) and is a huge advocate for Human Rights (esp. works against human trafficking) I liked her in the other two christmas movies she was in, but this one didn't give these two very good actors enough to do --- not a great script.
