The Mistletoe Promise (2016)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Nice effects though.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

This was one of the better Hallmark Christmas movies I've seen. Normally, I don't care for them, but this one really stuck with me. I highly enjoyed it & well casted. I hope you give it a chance! Wait, it's a book too? :o

Fortunately I have not read the book and judging by the other reviews about this story it has much more depth than the film which it is supposed to be based around. I found the film a shallow, contrived confection of bad writing, zero chemistry between the two leads and some dodgy sets (and snow).I have seen both of the lead actors in other roles where they have been convincing and real. Jaime in the Bulletproof Monk (was a brunette and a much better colour for her skin tone) and Luke in the TV series Killjoys.I think if you are looking for a predictable love story that ticks some of the boxes, and you're female (no way any red blooded male would entertain watching this!!) then give it a go.Can't quite understand how these scripts get funding when there are so many talented writers out there with better stories/characters and plot lines etc.The quality of TV movies needs improving, we've already seen how compelling the likes of Game of Thrones has been and they are based on books. I challenge Hallmark to take a chance, step outside of your comfort zone, it could make all the difference!!

I have been watching Hallmark Channel's Christmas movies for a long time and I have seen some good ones some in the middle and some bad ones. This movie has to have been the worst one I have ever seen. The acting was awful. The lead characters had no chemistry, the story was all over the place and half the time I had no idea what the plot was. What exactly was this movie about? Jaime King is not at all attractive and dressing her in those high neck outfits and plain sheaths for dresses didn't help any. I've always liked Luke MacFarlane but this movie did not showcase his best acting. I give the credit of his poor performance to Jamie King who's showed no emotion at all. Even when she was crying it seemed fake and forced. The scenes were awkward, for example the one where they left the theater after watching 'It's a wonderful life,' it wasn't really clear if he liked the movie or not and lets not forget when they listen for a bell (that I didn't hear) and say an angel got it's wings. Talk about awkward, how about that laugh at the end? The best friend?? Where was she throughout the movie? At the end she and Elise are going to always be together? That scene surprised me as I didn't' get the feeling that they were all that close. Did Elise actually sell the business to her ex husband? I thought Nick had papers for her to look at so that she could buy him out? And what was up with Zoe? What exactly was her role in the whole movie? An extra character who cluttered up the film. THE ONLY thing I liked and was impressed with was the acting and character of Ashley Liss. Sarah Smyth was impressive, believable and original. I found myself looking forward to scenes with her in it. The chemistry between her character and Luke's character was very apparent. Maybe she should have been cast as the lead actress instead of Jamie King. It would certainly have made the movie at least bearable. I've read that this movie was based on a book. From what I am reading this is a classic case of the book is much better than the movie. It's a good thing I hadn't read it.Save your time on this one. This was an hour and a half of my life I can never get back.

As a lover of the "feel-good", slightly cheesy hallmark movies, I was very excited to watch this movie. I was, however, extremely disappointed by the quality.I never really expect any giant plot twists or any excellent writing; the hallmark movies are known for their stories that just make you feel good. This movie had no story.The plot is extremely boring, as it follows the premise of the summary exactly. The whole movies follows this one "couple" pretending to be in love. Nothing interesting or even believable happens. In fact, I can't believe that either of them hated Christmas in the first place because the second they spend time together, they start loving Christmas. The acting in his film is not great and nothing happens to these two characters. They don't even fall in love until the very end, when they are suddenly so in love, after having stated about a million times that their arrangement was just a business arrangement.If you have a few hours to kill, I suggest another hallmark Christmas movie.
