Long Lost Christmas Movie Reviews

Family

This is another story about searching for lost family. Hayley’s mom was separated from her brother by the child welfare system when he aged out. The story includes a potential budding romance with a business partner of the possible family member. It seems like the two threads are about equal.

Most of the story wanders from one holiday activity to another while Hayley tries to stay close to her target, at least through half the movie. Hayley is pushy prying into the life of her possible Uncle Gordon. He is coy about his past which prolongs the search.

While Hayley searches, her mom deals with bittersweet memories while trying to get back out into the world after the recent loss of her husband.

Benjamin Ayres and Taylor Cole have quiet chemistry. The acting is good. Dialogue is decent but not sparkling. There isn’t a lot of comedy with this movie focusing more on sentimental drama which is the norm on the HMM Miracles of Christmas.

There is a twist leading into the conflict, but it is one that I pretty much expected despite a red herring along the way. I was taken aback by Hayley’s reaction. But that does not take away from a nice ending

Kudos to writers who actually know something about Astronomy acknowledging that shooting star watching is best leading up to 5 AM and on a moonless night. That doesn’t stop the director from ruining it all with hundreds of Christmas lights which would wash out the darkness in the same scene.

Genuine Story, Realistic Characters, Kleenex Worthy

As an adopted child myself, I related to every minute of this wonderful movie. The back stories of Orphanage and Foster Care were factually realistic and not emotionally exaggerated. Every actor from leads to supporting roles were genuine, and not overly acted at any time. It often appeared as if they were good friends outside of the movie business too. After her father’s recent passing, our lead has the best intentions and a sincere desire to make her mother’s Christmas meaningful. She discovers an old photo in the attic while looking for ornaments, and is shocked to learn her mother has a brother who she was separated from at their Orphanage. The remainder of the movie deals with her tracking down her “uncle” and also discovering she has a cousin. Keep the tissues handy. Family IS everything.

Way Above average for a Hallmark Christmas

Compared to all movies: 6.8 Compared to Hallmark: 8.5

The title is a good indicator for what this is about: the desire to reunite with long lost family. It took no effort to watch, had zero boring moments, and I was entertained.

The story is great, the acting is really great, the romance was actually quite alluring and spontaneous. I was drawn in by the chemistry of Taylor Cole and Benjamin Ayres immediately. One of the additional bonuses was their chemistry improves as time goes on, and so they totally light up the Christmas scene with their attraction. There was even some clever romance humor inserted – quite refreshing.

The rest of the story fits well with the plot, all of the characters are well developed, and the acting is above average for Hallmark Christmas films. The pacing and flow are above average, and the cinematography is decent as usual for Hallmark. The music was appropriate for a light-hearted, warm, and romantic atmosphere.

Why only the 6.8 rating? It’s generic and made for TV Hallmark. It has to be really good to be above a 7 in this genre, so this is actually a favorable score. Only my very favorite Christmas movies are 8 or more stars, and those aren’t usually Hallmark. For example: The Holiday with Cameron Diaz – one of my favorite of all time. That is what we are comparing with in the genre, so this is not a bad rating. The acting was so good I had to give Long Lost Christmas it an little boost up to from my initial 6.5 gut reaction.
