Movie #2213 "Haul out the Holly" (Hallmark) --- What a fun one this was ! In the first couple of minutes, as the film started, I wasn't sure this was one I was going to like. It seemed way too gungho about the spirit of Christmas, and all that goes into it including elaborate outside and inside decorations and nutcrackers on your porch that are at least 36 inches high. But then when I understood that it was making fun of that, it became much more fun to watch. Add to that a bunch of excellent secondary characters that are fun to watch, too, and you have one of the better new offerings from Hallmark this year. No surprise really because Hallmark diva Lacy Chabert is at the helm and brings another good one --- with a couple of inside jokes, one being that she is watching her Hallmark Christmas movie to Vienna and said she loved that one! Self deprecating is a good tone to put in a Hallmark film, lots of tongue and cheek here! 5 out of 5.
