Christmas feud

The premise for 2017's 'The Spruces and the Pines' didn't entirely grab me at first or make me go wow. With it basically a story with a mix of Romeo and Juliet and the Hatfields and the McCoys, two feuds depicted frequently, except with a Christmas theme. Still saw it anyway, with it being one of the films as part of my Christmas film completest quest and one of the films watched during the much-anticipated and needed Christmas period.

And while still not a great film, 'The Spruces and the Pines' actually fared better than expected. It was cute and heart-warming so a pleasant and nothing to be offended by watch, but also on the too safe and bland side at other points (not to mention it not being much different from other Christmas films in some of the material). Very little if anything is done awfully, but at the same time 'The Spruces and the Pines' isn't exactly distinguished.

Will begin with mentioning the good. The production values are pleasing on the eye, the scenery has an authentic Christmassy feel and the photography doesn't try to do too much while not being claustrophobic. The soundtrack is also suitably festive without being overpowering in volume or over-utilised.

Enough parts are amusingly light-hearted and there are some heart-warming and charming moments without being too saccharine. The characters at least don't bore or irritate, even if they lack depth. The dialogue is not as cheesy or as over-sentimental as feared. The acting fares decently, with a likeable John McGregor giving the best performance with charming, feisty Sarah Fischer close behind.

On the other hand, 'The Spruces and the Pines' could have been better. The story is too simple and has no real surprises. The conflict could have done with more tension and the too tidy and over too soon resolution falls flat on delivering on the emotional impact, which isn't really there.

Some of the writing is on the stilted side early on and the pacing in need of more tightness. Also felt that Nick Ballard was rather stiff in a blandly written role. Jonna Walsh is also a little on the bland side and their chemistry could have done with more wit.

In conclusion, decent if not exceptional. 6/10

Good Enough

The movie was predictable and it was trying too hard to associate the well known story with the christmas spirit of the movie.
