Hallmark Christmas in July 🎄 comfort & joy ❤️

A BILTMORE CHRISTMAS

Very nicely done. I was getting a bit confused at the beginning as to what was happening, but finally caught up about 20 minutes in.

Surprise cameo at the end, and I'm sure it was an Easter egg, but I didn't quite get it.
DVR'd that one last night, looking forward to seeing it!

I watched a lot of "Haul out the Holly: Lit Up", I was enjoying it til I fell asleep. I was up til like 3 am Saturday night messing with Christmas decorations. I was exhausted. I will have to finish that one later.
 

Tried watching Haul Out the Holly - Lit Up, but gave up a few minutes in. I just couldn't handle the snobby TV couple. There are too many movies this year to watch ones you don't like!
I finished the movie, but I agree on the snobby couple. I mean, the actors played their parts well because they were really annoying. It just sucked the joy out of the movie for me, tho.

Totally agree. I'm biased, because I love Biltmore, but I thought this was one of the better Hallmark movies. :) Loved the writing and the ending (as well as all the inner wordplay about the "ending".) I also enjoyed the "friend" who I felt like was "me" if I was suddenly inserted into a Hallmark movie. I will definitely be watching it again!

DH walked in at the beginning and exclaimed "That's Jonathan Frakes! Star Trek! I like this one!" before he walked out. :rotfl2: The cameo at the end was another Star Trek guy.

I struggled to stick this one out. The neighbors were so annoying. I kept waiting for someone to kick those gnome speakers just to stop hearing their voices. I kept waiting for Wes and Lacy to be booted from their HOA positions as the new neighbors continuously poo-poo'd their plans.
 
As RangerPooh said, the makeout scene was steamy and so NOT Hallmark, lol. My dh walked in at that moment for a snack and said "hey, I thought you were watching Hallmark!". 😂

I did end up watching A Biltmore Christmas which I enjoyed immensely. I'm happy that Kristopher Polaha also has a motion picture coming out in theaters soon (movie trailer was shown during this movie). I really think he's great and I just love his voice. I think he could narrate audiobooks if the acting thing doesn't work out, lol. Bethany Joy Lenz started out on my fave soap years ago and I've always liked her.

I may save this movie as my last movie to finish out the Christmas movie season. :scratchin I've learned to save a really good one as the last movie. 🥰 Otherwise it's a letdown to end all the Christmas movies with a blah one.

Re-watching parts of Take Me Back for Christmas. It actually premiered during Christmas in July. It's an okay movie. It's a rendition of the other Hallmark movies where the lead goes back it time, and gets to relive their life again differently, only to discover the life they originally had was great after all.

There is one poignant scene between the female lead and her mother, (Vanessa Lengies and Paula Boudreau,) that I just have to say kudos to. The actresses played the scene so well. No over-acting, no trying to hit the point home, no being overly-syrupy. It's a scene in which all of us who've lost a loved one wish we could have in life. I get misty-eyed watching that scene. :sad1: Well done, women!

I recently lucked onto this one, I've watched it 3 times now.
