Right, well needless to say that I had never heard about the 2015 movie "Last Chance for Christmas", from writers Mike Bell and Gary Yates, with the latter also directing the movie. Still, I opted to sit down and watch the movie, as part of this years Christmas movie marathon throughout the month of December.
I have to say that I essentially just figured that I would be in for a standard generic sappy Christmas movie, as I sat down to watch "Last Chance for Christmas", given the movie's cover. Yeah, I know, you can't judge a book (or a movie) by it's cover, but it just seemed like an archetypical sappy Christmas movie, but still, I opted to give the movie a fair chance.
The writers actually put together a fair enough script, as it proved to be entertaining, although somewhat generic and predictable, for sure. But I was actually fairly entertained throughout the course of the 87 minutes that the movie ran for, and isn't that the sole purpose of watching a movie?
The only performer on the cast list that I was familiar with was Tim Matheson. Regardless, I will say that the acting performances in the movie were fair.
Watchable, for certain, however I think diehard fans of the sappy Christmas movies will enjoy "Last Chance for Christmas" far more than I did.
My rating of director Gary Yates's 2015 movie "Last Chance for Christmas" lands on a five out of ten stars.
