A Twist of Christmas (2018) Reviews

• I want more Vanessa Lachey

  rebekahrox2018-12-09

  Vanessa was a shining star in this one. She was funny and appealing. And those dimples! Her chemistry with the hero, who had a little bit of edginess to him, was really good. He was a bit of a jerk at first, which added to the dynamic between them, because she was not intimidated. Good solid plot and writing. If this is an example of Vanessa Lachey's talents, I hope she becomes a regular for Hallmark. Time to put some of the old warhorses out to pasture. Ooh. that was mean. But no names.

• Enjoyable and Natural feeling Christmas Story.

  I watch all the Christmas movies, Hallmark, Lifetime, misc. Canadian independent productions and UK movies. I have watched about 20 so far already this "holiday" season. This is one of the best ones. I found myself actually smiling numerous times during the movie. The acting was natural and felt like it really could have happened. That is harder than one may think in these movies to achieve. The two leads had a good genuine feeling chemistry. Not love at first sight, nor hate at first site, (which gets rather annoying after so many of these movies). Vanessa Lachey was very good. I have never seen her act before. Brendon Zub reminded me so much of Alex O'Loughlin from Hawaii Five 0. I have never seen him before either, in anything that I recalled. They both did a great job. There were no broadly drawn "villains" or bad people. The two kids were great. They also were more natural and did not overdo their roles. I guess I need to credit the director and producer for all this. Someone obviously gave great directions to the actors, and it worked. Be natural and more relaxed. Even the Grandparents seemed real to me. Low key and nice and normal people, like people I know. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and recommend it.

  This movie stinks. Two adults who should know better acting like idiots in front of their kids. 15 minutes in I turned it off because they were still bickering.
