Cindy Busby isn't great to watch. I don't know what it is, but I'm not loving her acting. She's too much. I'm not sure if they made her character purposefully obnoxious or she's just that way herself. I wasn't even sad for her when her ornament broke which was totally predictable by the way. She's just not likeable at all.

Corey Sevier isn't great to watch either. I'm very underwhelmed by his acting. He adds nothing to the movie whatsoever.

Cindy and Corey's interactions with each other were really obnoxious to watch, too. No chemistry. The romantic storyline did not pull me in at all.

I like Katherine Barrell though. She was good. Cute.

The Kris Kringle actor was good too. Just the right touch of magical personality without being too cheesy.

The movie overall was super cheesy though.

I watched this movie the other day, and I have to admit I was not impressed.

Part of the problem may be that we watch so many of them, there is a natural tendency to compare them to others. If they were just stand alone movies, we might like them fine.

Part of the problem may be that it was a Cindy Busby movie. She's never been one of my favorites.

But I think the biggest problem for me was reducing Cory Sevier, so brilliant as the grinchy stroke victim in Noel Next Door, into a guy who just grins and says "Me too!" about 40 times.

The story about a road trip where two girls keep running into the same two guys and maybe Santa Claus was a little flimsy to say the least. Supporting cast was so-so, although the Santa and the pastor were good.

Others may enjoy this, I'm sure I'll get thumbs down, but for me it's a pass.
