Christmas Camp (2018 TV Movie)
5/10
Total = 46/100
13 July 2019
Warning: Spoilers
(Plot/Story: 4) Generic and formulaic, nothing special. (Believability: 5) Average. (Drawn in: 3) Hard to concentrate. I was easily distracted with other things. (Uplift: 8) Very positive vibe as it typical from Hallmark. (Acting/Directing: 3) Walk-through performances. The actors show good promise. I blame this on the directing. (Characters: 4) I didn't hate the characters, but I really didn't care much about them either. (Emotion: 5) A few good moments, but very little emotional impact. (Production/Quality: 5) Somewhat low budget for Hallmark. (Visuals: 5) For a get-away camp experience, I was hoping for some more breathtaking scenery, but the set pieces were just okay.

(Overall Entertainment Value: 4) I was just mildly entertained overall. It was odd because I liked the actors more than their characters. The major conflict in the story unfolds very late in the story, and with very little impact. A mere difference of opinion between people and one who refuses to listen. It never ceases to amaze me how many problems could be so easily avoided if people tried just a little harder to understand each other. I think it's time for these made for TV movies to hire some new writers and switch up their plot formulas.
