eapepin-01129 Review of A Heavenly Christmas

A Heavenly Christmas (2016 TV Movie)

I could have done without Kristin

[5/10 · 27 November 2017]

Overall, the movie concept was interesting and well plotted, but Kristin Davis was totally mis-cast for this role. First, she was way to old for the person she was playing and I think she knew it and tried to compensate by acting, talking and constantly smiling like a teenybopper. Her constant over-the-top expressions and voice made me think she really needed to lay off the caffeine. Basically, she just completely over acted the role. Shirley Maclaine was pretty much reading from the same playbook. Her chin to floor cover up outfits were very distracting. I'm guessing the wrinkles were not supposed to show. That being said, take her and MacLaine out of the roles and replace them with almost anybody else and the movie would be up there with some of the Hallmark Channel's best. This time, though, not so much.
