Campfire Christmas (2022 TV Movie)
3/10
Doomed by lack of cast chemistry and interesting plot points
29 October 2023
  • It was actually a bit funny, especially parts of the first half. Unlike other reviewers, I actually liked the premise (however well trodden as it may be). But it fell into the Hallmark trap of leaning too much on sentimentality.


  • Speaking of which, in order to feel sentimental you have to feel something towards the characters. This didn't work in this movie for two reasons: 1) not enough time getting to know and care about them and 2) there was little chemistry between them. The two leads were miscast.


  • I couldn't figure out why the female lead would be so torn up over the male lead. And it isn't just because of looks; his personality was pretty wooden too.


-Other reviewers have commented on the overacting, but I honestly could have used more theatrics from the cast.
