The Truth About Christmas

What a Christmas surprise. I enjoy watching Christmas movies. With that said, so many of them are cheesy and similar plot lines. Thought this would be one but I can actually watch this one again. Take a chance people, I'm sure you'll enjoy.

I really liked this one! Once Ginny and George get to his parent's house, I couldnt stop giggling. I read in another review that it isn't very Christmassy and I agree. The only real "problem" I had with the movie is the thing with George's brother Blake. There is obviously a connection there and I felt like he had a lot to do with her change of plans for her life, but then it wasn't part of the ending. Most Christmas movies tie a pretty bow on the endings and it just kind of fell flat for me.

I really liked this movie I like how it focused more on how Jillian needed to focus on not changing herself so much and believing more in herself. It was a very nice change as most holidays movies focus on the romance more. This is now one of my top Christmas movies I will be watching each year.

The acting in The Truth About Christmas is really bad. The characters are also written in one dimension with virtually no depth. In other words, there's nothing for the actors to breath life into.The set design is also terrible, looking more like a short film on YouTube than a major network production. There's dialogue about George's bland taste in decor, but his parent's house is an equally boring locale for a majority of the film. Many scenes in the movie are driven by unappealing and forced humor. I think I'd rather spend my evening watching paint dry then watch this movie again

The makeup and eye lashes of the main character and her friend was really distracting. And the acting was annoying. I wouldn't exactly call this a romance either.

Honestly I lost interest in this one after about 2 minutes, but I watched it for roughly 15 and decided I didn't want to bother any further. I can't really say anything about it, because nothing was noteworthy in those first minutes. It may be that I just wasn't in the mood, so I may consider watching it again next year, but I doubt it. No score, as unfinished.

Not a particularly novel film, but I enjoyed Kali Hawk's sympathetic performance as Jillian. The breakfast scene, where Jillian admits how hungry she is, is a definite laugh out loud moment. So nothing new here, but it's not a bad way to pass your time if you're looking to wind down in the run up to Xmas.
