Sister Swap: Christmas in the City

6/10 - this concept of two connected movies/storylines in a single year is certainly a first for Hallmark is certainly new for them, but I would recommend watching it a little bit apart (as it was aired) since the two become a little redundant if double featured.

Snow doesn't look as real as other Hallmark Channel movies. Potato "snow" not working. Projector is the mainstay of this movie, not the acting. I'd give it a 1 star...but this is a typical (and I mean VERY typical) B rated Hallmark Channel movie with even lower rated actors/actresses.

This one fell flat primarily because I already knew the plot from watching the companion movie a week ago. There were a few elements added that we were not aware of and some more details, but they were not enough to save this for me. The other reason was because I am just so tired of Ashley Williams. She was like a manic-depressive without the depressive. I really wanted the depressive. A few times she stopped smiling and bouncing off the walls but the respite didn't last long enough.

I like the Williams Sisters but I found the Sister Swap movies to be boring. I am not even sure what the storyline was supposed to be. But the most watchable part is the interaction and relationship between the sisters.

This movie is the second part of the Christmas Swap sisters tale. From the first movie we knew what will be the story this time. They used scenes from last week and added more. Im not sure this really worked with two parts tale, the Williams sisters are great in almost every movie they are in , they are charismatic and cheerful you just smile when they are on even when the movie isn't great like these movies. The stories weren't bad but weren't great or Christmas magic that you want in these movies. The only unique part was the sisters part.

Also I think they should have aired these movies in one night like the thanksgiving holiday weekend creating one big movie in one night.
