Review of Sleigh Bells Ring

This is the typical Hallmark movie that had a lot of potential but goes down hill from the start. The two leads, Laurel and Alex, have little chemistry and the story is ridiculous: **Spoiler Alert** The Mayor suddenly tells the head of Parks & Rec that she has 2 weeks to plan a full-on Christmas Parade (including floats.) She spends very little time planning the parade but miraculously pulls it off with seemingly very little help from anyone and very little focus.**End Spoiler** The lead, Laurel, is also really crabby and boring, making you not care at all about her. The movie was clearly filmed in milder weather so it snows a lot with a bright blue sky. The snow that's falling from the sky never lands on the ground. (C'mon, if you're going to digitally add falling snow, can't you turn the skies just a little gray?) In the end I didn't care about either of these characters and I imagine the director and crew fell asleep during the ten (?) days of slapping this film together.
