Christmas in the Heartland (2017)

Absolutely wonderful fun movie! Should defiantly be on your must watch list. #ChristmasInTheHeartland is now on my holiday watch list! All the actors worked so well together, it was totally a believable story. The song they sang at the end was awesome, and has a lot of emotion in it. Every Christmas movie should always have that happy ending. Although it was a comedy it also had some pretty serious moments. I absolutely loved it.

SPOILER!!! I cannot believe this movie scored so high! It was fairly decent through most of the movie although I did not care for the deception. However, the ending was one of the most bizarre and uncomfortable scenes I have ever seen. There were so many devastating, life altering bombs dropped and no one seemed too bothered by all the revelations. I know Mrs. Gentry was an unbearable, uptight woman but to treat her like that in front of everyone was heartless and ruthless... and downright bizarre! I only gave it a 3 because some of the acting was commendable. Two hours that we will never get back....

Has a very Disney like feel to the movie. Very family friendly variation of the parent trap. Bo Derek plays an excellent superficial, materialistic, elitist snob with all the depth of a stick of gum. Shelly Long is a wonderful earthy, home town, cookie making type grandma. Christian Kane plays and amazing Dad unsure if he really want's or is even willing to reconcile with his parents. The girls are amazing. It's a wonderful movie. I rented it to check it out and see if it is worth purchasing. It very much is.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND this movie! There isn't a rating high enough for me to give it, it is THAT GOOD! I really thought since the premise was similar to the classic "The Parent Trap", I wasn't going to like this movie. Boy, was I ever wrong. NEVER assume or prejudge a movie it may surprise you and this one definitely did I am very pleased to say! I am not very good a writing reviews as you probably can tell. I don't like giving out Spoilers because I know I do not like them at all! Don't want to take away anyone's enjoyment of seeing and hearing things for the first time themselves. But if you are like me and love Christian Kane's acting and singing, I will just say you don't want to miss it! I will also say to those wondering about his screen time. Don't. It is more than I had originally believed it to be. YAY! The whole cast were just awesome, great story line etc all came together wonderfully for a fun, entertaining, family friendly movie. A movie for folks of all ages! I would say 9 yrs and up should just love it as much as me! Older generations too. Perfect for them as well! So do check it out and Enjoy! I did! and will over and over again!
