Mystic Christmas (2023 TV Movie)
7/10
Rather average Christmas offering, IMO.
29 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The thing I liked about this Christmas themed movie was the location filming, from the Mystic Aquarium, to the drawbridge over the Mystic River, parts of the Christmas boat parade, the pizza shop, the book store, Mystic Seaport, and the bakery. Makes me want to visit there.

The script had a familiar theme: former romantic partners from years past reunite in a serendipitous circumstance, the character played by Jessy Schram is asked to come to Mystic to fill in temporarily at the aquarium, caring for a sick seal. The supporting cast did a convincing job. My biggest criticism was the lack of chemistry between Schram and the male lead, Chandler Massey. Their romantic connection seemed forced and contrived. I was thinking another Hallmark actor may have been a better match for Schram; possibly Sam Page, or Brendan Penny.

Surprisingly good movie

I enjoyed this film a lot. Good story line, and fabulous chemistry between Erin Krakow and Tyler Hynes, who is fast becoming my favorite Hallmark "leading man". Well done!

Five Star Christmas (2020 TV Movie)
9/10
"Five Star Christmas" felt good!
2 January 2021
I really enjoyed this film! Of the 2020 Hallmark Holiday film offerings, this one was one of my two favorite ("Holly and Ivy", being the other). I loved the script, the sets, and most of all, the chemistry of the entire acting ensemble. It made me laugh, which felt good, especially after this year!. Bethany Joy Lenz never disappoints, and always delivers. I wrote a quick note to the production company, echoing my sentiments here, and wondering if(hoping) we might see a sequel of the continuing adventures and goings-on at the Ralston family B&B for Christmas 2021.

Cheers!
