A Christmas Wedding Date (2012 TV Movie)
5/10
Stop repeating yourself!
13 January 2021
It's not the worst 'Groundhog Day' at Christmas that I've seen, but I probably only stuck with it for so long, because Chris Carmack is just lovely. At the beginning of the film you definitely don't feel that he should be lumbered with the absolute cow that the lead female is, but after a few times of repeating the same day over and over, she starts to realise that she is not actually very nice and needs to change her ways. At that point she becomes bearable, but still not good enough for Chris in my opinion.

The supporting cast all play their parts as I would imagine they are directed to do, but they mostly seem to be quite exaggerated and annoying. Think 'American Pie' characters!

It's nice to see that Catherine Hicks is still getting work after she ran away to space with Captain Kirk and some Whales. She plays the Mum nicely here. It's also good to see Norm (George Wendt) although he's not looking too healthy. Perhaps he shouldn't have frequented Cheers quite so often? Hopefully he has a good doctor.

The film isn't hideous to get through like some of them, but you can certainly put up your tree at the same time without missing too much. Alternatively just forward the middle bit where she's still learning how to be good and skip to the getting it right bit.
