Better than the average Hallmark Christmas movie. It is both a parody and a Christmas movie at the same time. Has some actual laugh out loud moments and checks every box on your Hallmark Christmas checklist.

A Christmas Movie Christmas is a by-the-numbers holiday film. After making a wish two sisters find themselves in the fictional town of Holiday Falls, where they have to play out a Christmas Movie in order to get back home. While the concept is fairly interesting, the writers don’t really do much with it; offering little if any commentary on the Christmas genre or its tropes. And the characters are pretty one-dimensional. Also, the sets and costumes are pretty dull and cheap looking. A rather pointless and shallow film, A Christmas Movie Christmas just goes through the motions.

It was good movie. I enjoyed it.

Cool idea, it kinda falls flat by the midway point though.

'A Christmas Movie Christmas' is far from a terrible film, you could watch much worse during the festive period - this is at least different from the usual made-for-TV Xmas formula. It just gets a little boring as it goes on. I'm not exactly sure how they could've done it better, but there is certainly something missing to keep it fresh and entertaining for the full duration of the run time.

The cast give satisfactory if unspectacular performances. Lana McKissack (Eve) is, as you'd expect, the most standout as the lead. I actually watched her YouTube videos when she was doing that about eight years ago, back when YOMYOMF/'Internet Icon' was a thing - what a throwback!

Elsewhere, Kimberly Daugherty is alright as Lacy, starring alongside co-writer/producer and real life husband Brant Daugherty (Paul). I can't say I'll remember this cast, but they are all fine for what this film is to be honest.
