Hallmark Movies and Mysteries Premiere | December 7, 2019
Methinks the wardrobe department recycled a dress from last year's A Shoe Addict's Christmas. The fact that I noticed this immediately tells me that I have a Hallmark problem. Intervention needed. Stat.
In this movie, country singer Charlotte comes home to Montana to welcome her soldier brother back from overseas. She spends a lot of time with Matt's friend, fellow-soldier Matt. Matt is our 215th orphan of the Hallmark Christmas season, and he's a huge fan of Charlotte's.
Charlotte uses her new-found fame to pay off her parents' house just before they decorate the tree for Christmas. Therefore, I plan to invite her to my house for tree decorating next year.
In all seriousness, this movie is pretty good. It's a solid C. The romance is fine, the story is solid, and the sentiment is there. The scarf-game, however, is seriously lacking. I suspect the scarf person was sick when they shot this one.
On another note, I am becoming concerned by the Hallmark body count this Christmas. I completely understand the occasional need for a character facing the death of a parent or spouse, but some of the characters this season are just orphans for no reason. It's concerning, and not very festive.
