Not bad but definitely not Everything

Everything Christmas was a real mixed bag for me. I thought it started out quite well with the over the top Christmas loving Busby and her level-headed friend played by Katherine Barrell on a buddy road trip to the town of Yuletide Springs. They break down and shortly after are helped by a man who resembles Santa in body and spirit. From there are a series of coincidences and almost magical experiences that lead them to believe that he might be the real thing. Oh, and of course there is romance for the both of them.Unfortunately, after a good start with some legitimate laughs provided mostly by Barrell, it starts becoming more and more bland and predictable. I've pretty much liked Busby but here she comes across almost like a child going on and on about "believing," etc. Etc.I thought Barrell pretty much stole the show, and George Masswohl provided solid support as the continually appearing Kris. The biggest disappointment was Corey Sevier who was the major love interest but didn't say or do much of anything. He was always just staring googly-eyed at Busby and was basically just a bubble-brain. The other male love interest wasn't a whole lot better.Kind of a head scratcher and somewhat of a lost opportunity.

Bored, mostly.

Cindy Busby isn't great to watch. I don't know what it is, but I'm not loving her acting. She's too much. I'm not sure if they made her character purposefully obnoxious or she's just that way herself. I wasn't even sad for her when her ornament broke which was totally predictable by the way. She's just not likeable at all.Corey Sevier isn't great to watch either. I'm very underwhelmed by his acting. He adds nothing to the movie whatsoever.Cindy and Corey's interactions with each other were really obnoxious to watch, too. No chemistry. The romantic storyline did not pull me in at all.I like Katherine Barrell though. She was good. Cute.The Kris Kringle actor was good too. Just the right touch of magical personality without being too cheesy.The movie overall was super cheesy though.

What am I missing?

I watched this movie the other day, and I have to admit I was not impressed.Part of the problem may be that we watch so many of them, there is a natural tendency to compare them to others. If they were just stand alone movies, we might like them fine.Part of the problem may be that it was a Cindy Busby movie. She's never been one of my favorites.But I think the biggest problem for me was reducing Cory Sevier, so brilliant as the grinchy stroke victim in Noel Next Door, into a guy who just grins and says "Me too!" about 40 times.The story about a road trip where two girls keep running into the same two guys and maybe Santa Claus was a little flimsy to say the least. Supporting cast was so-so, although the Santa and the pastor were good.Others may enjoy this, I'm sure I'll get thumbs down, but for me it's a pass.
