6.1 stars.
Not only does it lack depth, but also cohesion. The leads have a different kind of romance, somewhat spontaneous, yet very shallow and actually non-existent. There is no chemistry to be found in this movie, not one bit, anywhere. All the characters seem to be thrown into a production and just playing the part for a paycheck. Hallmark doesn't pay much, so "who cares" is probably the consensus. There is no authenticity, except perhaps her father the mayor, he seems to fit into his role better than the rest. And maybe that's the point, she doesn't like politics anyway. Where is the romance, the chemistry, the emotion? None of these showed up for 'A Christmas Tree Grows in Colorado'. And the whole theme is about a tree. I kid you not. It's about the most dead end plot I've ever encountered. What is this? Oh how shall I watch this, Dear Henry, Dear Henry? Oh how shall I watch this Dear Henry, oh how? It's a big waste of screen time, Dear Liza, Dear Liza, it's a big waste of screen time, Dear Liza a waste...
