Christmas in Carolina

Good family scenes in a BEAUTIFUL middle class family. Very loving. A movie WHERE NO BLACK PERSON DIES OR LOSES A JOB.! UPBEAT. The best of it does happen at the family home! The writer and the producers are young. Just know Spielberg started writing for tv. Keep on keeping on!

The writing is uneven, the cinematography is odd (close-ups of wine glasses and barbells; camera not in line with the actor's eyes so it looks like he's looking elsewhere), and there are numerous montages that last way too long of actions to music without dialogue. And so much doesn't make sense! Don't bother rewinding, thinking you missed something; any background, relevant part, or connecting scenes aren't there. For example, Elle is missing, and the brothers leave to find her. The next scene, it's the next day, and she's in the house, like she never left, asking for a ride to the airport, and Wesley, who was out looking for her, opens the front door dressed in a sharp red suit (not what he left dressed in). If what I wrote doesn't make sense, understand that's how I felt most of the movie. I enjoyed family interactions and some of the actors, and those are the only redeeming factors of this movie.

The acting is not very good or off. T It is not realistic and not natural but thats because of the acting. The storyline seems rushed. It wasn't a Hallmark movie or some of the seasoned Christmas movies but I get the meaning. I see what the storyline is trying to say. Nothing is perfect. All in all if you love different types of Christmas movies like I love Christmas movies you will most likely like this movie. I stumbled on this movie on Tubi and I thought I would give it a look and I am glad I did. It wasn't the greatest movie but a good meaningful movie. I hope whoever reads this review enjoys the movie.

I really wanted to like this movie, but the acting was just not good at all, with the exception of the cousin. I don't even know what was going on with the writing, because it seemed like they told 5 different people to write a scene for a Christmas romance and then put them together. It's like they ran out of time at the end and just said never mind what just happened 5 minutes ago, everything is fine!

This movie is poor quality in everything, from writing and directing to photography and sound production. The over-acting is also impossible to ignore. I wanted to like this because it has the Winslow siblings from Family Matters who return to play siblings in this story. But there's nothing good about this effort. The story's not even good, and it advances illogically and without any sensibility. Don't waste your 75 minutes on this Christmas movie.
