The Secret Gift of Christmas Movie Reviews
Christmas shopping
The plotline of a personal shopper is not the most common one. Meghan Ory fills this role with a lot of positive energy. She certainly smiles a lot. When it comes to Christmas stories, I prefer the upbeat ones to those that sow doom and gloom through over half the movie. However, the story sets Bonnie up as being shallow.
There is nothing exceptional in this story. It is mostly about keeping Ory and Christopher Russell together as much as possible. There also isn’t much tension beyond Patrick’s resistance to being fancy and to social media.
There is a subplot where we see that Bonnie has a shopping addiction. The story doesn’t really deal with this issue other than love conquers all. I am disappointed that for an issue like this that ruins some people’s lives, it was treated, in my opinion, rather flippantly. It doesn’t even add much tension to the overall story since there doesn’t appear to be any ominous consequences threatening Bonnie.
As in many Christmas stories, the female lead bonds with the widower’s daughter which always adds a little bit of positive flavor for me.
The acting is OK. There is some good dialogue.
Disappointing
I love Christmas movies and Hallmark makes some of the best. (I want to live in that alternate universe.) Few of them are truly great but they are usually a comforting break. But this one was more annoying than anything. Primarily because they made the female lead way over the top.
This is basically a rewrite of the 2015 Lifetime movie A Gift Wrapped Christmas, but that one was able to create an overly enthusiastic lead who also managed to be charming.
An attractive cast and simple story line make this a quiet wat to pass the time if you can tolerate the lead character. But given a choice, I would strongly recommend you track down A Gift. Wrapped Christmas instead.
Meghan Ory is back
I gave this an 8.
I’m not sure it deserves an 8, but I’m so happy to see Meghan Ory back in a Christmas movie.
I never understood why she wasn’t doing them. She’s so perfect for them and after a fantastic movie in Dashing through the Snow, she vanished from the genre.
Well, she’s back, here playing a bubbly personal shopper with a flamboyant style all her own, tasked with working her magic on a gruff building contractor played by Christopher Russel.
It seems like every other movie has had Russell in it this year, but he’s really shown his development as an actor as all the roles are very diverse.
This movie was probably not the greatest Hallmark movie of all time, the chemistry maybe not the best, etc., but it was fun to watch, and I would definitely recommend it.
Welcome back Meghan.
