Back to Christmas (2014)

The Age of Commercialism

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I was anxiously waiting for Michael Muhney, he's a great actor with a promising full-filling career, as a stand alone actor, in any film. In Giving the Main FEMALE character, a chance to go back in time, and fix a break-up so that the couple would stay together, is a really great synopsis. if we could all go back in time, and FIX BREAK-UPS, in real-life, I don't necessarily think it would be good. But, thankfully it's fiction and I also Loved Gloria Loring, as well. She's a great Veteran actress. I'm really hoping to see Michael Muhney, get more movie gigs.

Very happy to have watched this movie. They did most things very well and some things not so well. Kelly Overton was great in the lead as Ali, but they could have spent more time developing her character in the beginning. Instead they had a stupid scene where her boss makes jokes about making a pass ate her. Excellent when she runs into her old live-in partner (Cameron) and he is with Lauren Storm who plays 3 different parts in the movie. The mom and dad are both fantastic and the mom plays a major role in the movie in projecting her dream upon her daughter. A thought provoking part of the story indeed. Cameron is great as self centered/obnoxious who is only liked by the mother. Nice to see Jonathan Patrick Moore as the good guy Nick (he was Nick in the Mistletones). It is an ION TV movie.

BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA.This is a story A woman travels one year back in time to the Christmas before her broken engagement and tries to repair what went wrong, and she discovers that this is a challenging undertaking.What works about this story is that most of us wonder how our life might have turned out if we did not breakup with a certain person. If you are single this question can eat at you during the holidays.In this film we learn that sometimes you are "Better off where you are" & "Breakups are often happen for a reason".The actors are fine in this. I was excited to see Jonathan Patrick Moore in this film. He is charming.

A woman gets the chance to go back to the previous Christmas Eve to try and save her relationship. Although it's a predictable Christmas romance film, this scores due to the fact it's actually quite funny. Kelly Overton makes for an engaging lead actress as Ali, as well as being easy on the eye she displays a good comic timing and delivers plenty of witty lines. A sharp and witty script means there is a sharp sense of humour throughout the film especially when Mark Hutter and Moses Storm are on screen. The two male lead love interests work less well for me, coming across as a bit bland.This is very much aimed at the female market and most of it's target audience should enjoy it. Thanks to it's pretty leading lady and funny script there is enough here to make this endurable to guys as well. As long as you don't expect too much this is an enjoyable way to waste a couple of lazy hours on a winter morning.
