Santa, Maybe Movie Reviews

Cute Story – Needs a little more development

I enjoyed the movie and it kept my attention. Covers several true-to-life side stories to learn from which I enjoyed. Acting was excellent throughout as the entire cast brought the story to life in a genuine way. Rated it a “7” because I feel the supporting cast stories could be developed more. (Loved seeing Brooklyn Brough again) Lila’s family and Glenn’s family had lots of interesting idioscracies that were “touched” on but I would have liked to see more time spent on. May be some of the “theater” workers. Music choices were fantastic! Overall it is a wonderful, uplifting movie and when it ended, I found mysefl personally challenged and inspired.

Grow up

Apparently, Lila is still living in high school. She is prickly and immature. I will admit that the pranks Glenn played in high school were bad. Very bad. But how many years have passed? It is odd that she turned out successful if she is still carrying so much pain. Successful people learn and grow from such trauma. And let it go.

Glenn was even more unlikeable. He was insulting. At least for a while. That is the pattern in movies like this – there has to be animosity between the leads in the beginning and then it completely disappears. Usually it disappears instantly without much transition. In this case, it went away a little slower but still seemed rush. However, they only have 1-1/2 for the whole story. I also thought the end result didn’t make sense in that it was rushed.

The acting was fair. The dialogue was flat. The story depended on a Secret Santa theme which is common. There were no great highs or lows or surprises. Most of the tension revolved around either Lila vs Glenn or the guest dancer with neither being earth shaking.

Not terrible

Not exactly a ringing endorsement, I know.

I was curious about this because it’s another Great American movie without any big names in the cast. I admit, I thought it was another dud in the first ten minutes. The acting seemed like it was another of those GAF movies where everyone is wooden and unnatural.

Fortunately, I decided to put that aside, and the movie settled into a nice rhythm.

The story itself is kind of sweet. Two employees at a theater (plays, not movies) are reunited years after attending high school together, where he tortured her with practical jokes, and she still hates him.

Can he possibly make up for it after all this time?

This is not Citizen Kane, but the lead actors are pretty good, and have a nice little chemistry, and the story, as I said is rather sweet.

If you can overlook the somewhat spotty acting, this is a nice little movie.
