SO symptomatic of Hallmark's current Christmas movie offerings

This badly plotted/written and lamely acted movie is SO symptomatic of Hallmark's current Christmas movie offerings, being not just utterly predictable (okay, they always have been!) but also totally lacking in fun and the sparkle of the season. Everything these days has to be so serious, with flawed leading characters grappling with problems which are then solved simplistically in the last five minutes after the most contrived of crises.Whatever happened to a good, simple story told without resorting to in-your-face moralising and cheesy philosophy of life quips? When did humor and a light touch get completely thrown out the window? To see what I'm getting at, watch the 2008 film "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year" with Henry Winkler. That is what Hallmark did back in the early days, i.e. Great straightforward tales told with wit, nothing too heavy and a touch of Christmas magic.

Comfortably Predictable

"How to Fall in Love for the Holidays" (2023) - a title that sounds like it was churned out of a Christmas rom-com generator, and trust me, the plot isn't far behind. This film, in its attempt to sprinkle a little holiday cheer, follows the story of a writer-turned-CEO of a lifestyle brand (because, why not?), who's tasked with the hilariously cliché mission of finding love by Christmas to save her company. Why her love life is the linchpin in a business deal is beyond me, but hey, it's Christmas in movieland!Our protagonist pairs up with a photographer who's as charming as he is handsome (a prerequisite in this genre), and what follows is a series of predictable yet oddly comforting escapades. The film is like that one Christmas sweater you have - slightly itchy, not particularly stylish, but you wear it every year because it's familiar and warm. The actors do their best with a script that feels like it's been passed down the Hallmark assembly line, delivering performances that are as endearing as they are forgettable.What makes "How to Fall in Love for the Holidays" stand out - in a sea of similar films - is, well, not much. It's the cinematic equivalent of a gingerbread latte; you know exactly what you're getting, it's sweet, not particularly good for you, but it's comforting in its consistency. The film doesn't break new ground, but it doesn't completely fall through the ice either. It's the kind of movie you half-watch while wrapping presents, and that's perfectly okay. Three stars for being the holiday comfort food of cinema - not great, not terrible, just pleasantly middle-of-the-road.
