Matchmaker Santa (2012)

Movie was okay.If you have a girlfriend, you can get through it.If you are a guy, boy it is a tough one.Usual plot, girl and guy but this time the girl has another man. Then we have a fat white man, I mean Santa, changing the universe for just these 2 couples, so they realize who the real true love is.I must say, IMDb requiring 10 lines for this movie is sad.Very sad Indeed I give it a 5.5 out of 10. Lacey Chabert needs to work on her acting. Well most of the cast does. I think I reached 10 lines by now now now period.

Probably 40% or more of the street scenes had police cars appear in them. That included the final closing scene. This was supposed to be a small quiet little town. It was a real distraction at the tree lighting ceremony. Police cars at each end of the little divided one way street with their lights blazing away. Some one had a real thing going for them! Said what I had to say..... now just trying to fill the 10 line requirement. Said what I had to say..... now just trying to fill the 10 line requirement.

This 2012 Lacey Chabert annual Christmas movie is a gift you might not want to open. In this film she plays Melanie who at 9 years old wrote a letter to Santa asking for "true love". Santa however did grant her wish the year of the letter. 15-16 years later around Christmas time she boards a plane to spend Christmas time with her boyfriend "Justin" who she thinks he is about "Pop the Question". On the plane with her is her boyfriends assistant Dean who has been keeping Melanie and "Deans" relationship afloat. ON the plane Melanie meets Nick who in reality is of course is "Santa Claus". He remembers the letter Melanie wrote him and now has working very hard on granting her "Christmas Wish".The film is not very entertaining. I always love Lin Shaye in anything however she is not in the film long enough. The film could of been much better. The final 5 minutes however feel too rushed and very "unrealistic".IF you never seen this film you are lucky!

I was eagerly looking forward to an evening with Hallmark. The movie "Matchmaker Santa" started out magical. The actors were well chosen and the storyline imaginative and fun.As I continued to watch the movie, I noticed that the music in the background was louder than the speaking voices. After one-half hour into the movie the music did not stop. It was like listening to a movie and a concert at the same time. You could not hear every word clearly and you had to strain to hear each word, and I have excellent hearing. I call it the ping-pong Hallmark music. It is as if a record is playing the same music for two hours over and over with high and low notes. There should be no music when the actors speak, unless it is for an endearing apex moment. The music in the background was continuous throughout the entire movie, ruining the movie for me. So, disappointed as I was, I turned the channel and did not view the entire movie. I rated it "awful" because it was awful to watch.
