Magic in Mistletoe Movie Reviews

My favorite parts all revolve around the fictional Christmas fairy.

This is the story of an author of a Christmas series who has lost his parents and become disillusioned by the commercialization of the season and his book. In a pre Christmas interview he says as much and the publishers receive a big backlash from fans.

Enter the fixer, who lies to the author to get him back to his home town and participating in the Christmas festivities that inspired his books in the first place.

I really liked the dialog between these two. It was well written and well delivered. I liked the cameo by Paul Campbell’s cowriter and frequent costar, who appears as a barista. I appreciated that his childhood friends and townspeople who knew Harrington, understood and still cared about him…and were grateful for what his books had done for their town of mistletoe.

I really appreciated that we get to see the inspiration for the Christmas fairy, but that he kept it a mystery for all his readers.

I liked that the fixer, April, really did seem prepared for anything…and her fairy outfit was amazing.

It wasn’t my favorite film this holiday season, but I did enjoy it especially the inspiration backstories.

Uneven and drawn out

Full disclosure, I was hoping for a comedy since this film stars Paul Campbell (Three Wisemen and a Baby). The dude also wrote Unexpected Christmas, a classic. Alas, it wasn’t meant to be. Paul plays Harrington, an author who wrote a series of Christmas novels focused on his hometown of (you’ll never guess) Mistletoe. He posts a scrooge-like message online and is on the verge of being cancelled until his publisher’s PR rep shows up to save him; wow him; spend time with him; hand him pens; decorate in ways he hates; slow the story down; meet people who already know him; accompany him to sparsely attended events. OK, all of these things. This film is incredibly uneven. Harrington seemed to learn his lesson in minute 36 or so, when my movie-watching buddy turned to me and asked if the movie was already over. Sorry, there was 1.5 hours of bland mushiness, and mild life-lessons remaining.

One of the worst Hallmark Movies I’ve seen

This has to be one of the worst Hallmark Christmas movies I have ever seen. The beginning of the movie is very abrupt. There’s no introduction or build up as to what the story line is. Then the entire movie is choppy with no real flow to the events that take place. On top of that the casting is absolutely horrendous. There is no chemistry between the two main characters, the woman who is cast as one of the lead’s mother looks literally nothing like her, and the people who are to be the neighbors in the small town seem to have no connection, don’t appear to be family or anything. It almost seems like whoever did the casting for this either just told their friends they could be in a movie, they were in a rush to cast it, or they were filling the roles with people who needed experience.
