Cute And Light-hearted

I review a lot of tv shows on IMDB, but this is the first review I've written of a Hallmark movie. Trading Up Christmas hit the sweet spot for me - a cute story, a little humour thrown in, decent acting, and not too many of the usual Hallmark Christmas tropes.I really enjoyed the two leads in this film - Italia Ricci and Michael Xavier. They played off each other well and both came off as people you'd like to spend time with. Ricci, especially, was a breath of fresh of air, as I didn't recognize her from any other Hallmark movies I'd seen. She has a real effervescence that I found very charming.The story is a little far-fetched at times and there are a couple of plot holes and head-scratchers along the way, but it ended up being a cute story with a nice resolution at the end. As a bonus, there were very few of the typical Hallmark Christmas boxes that got checked, so that was a nice bit of relief.If you want to kill an hour-and-a-half with a fun, entertaining movie, Trading Up Christmas is worth the time.

On the sadder side

7.2 stars.There are several feel good moments, emotional moments, times you almost wanna cry, but none of these fully deliver. This film elicits some emotional responses, but it doesn't quite get me to that place I wanna be. I feel the need sometimes for a wonderful tear or, heartfelt, romantic experience.So this movie is sort of right in the middle of all the different categories. Is the cinematography great, not really. Is the acting great, it's OK. Is the music great, it's average. Is the story great, yes, I will give it that. But somehow they took a great story, and a great theme and cranked out a somewhat mixed final product.Not quite sure what is missing, but usually that means lack of chemistry between the leads.

Surface

I had reservations going into this movie because while the basic premise may have a real life precedent, I doubted that it could convince me. I was surprised that it didn't turn out to be a deal breaker. I was annoyed that the story included a plot device surrounding the reporter that is fairly common but way too predictable and totally unethical. I knew what would cause the climatic conflict almost from the start.The acting is ok, but at times I thought the main actors weren't completely invested in their characters. Among other things, this meant that the chemistry between Italia Ricci and Michael Xavier was less than stellar.There were a couple of trades that raised my eyebrows, but I think the writers intended that. The story created some additional interest when it started exploring the two sibling relationships.
