A Merry Single Christmas

Firstly, I'm an avid watcher of these types of Christmas movies. I watch one-two during the daytime leading up to Christmas Eve. I like the feel-good simple romantic comedy spirit about them. With that said... While the plot for A Merry Single Christmas seemed Christmas-y entertaining and right up my alley, between the writing (that is, the dialog) and the acting, this is completely unwatchable. I have seen better acting at high school plays. There's only one scene that was worth anything: The last scene of Juliet's, which isn't even the lead character. I strongly suggest not wasting your time. You will want that one hour and twenty-eight minutes back...just like I do.

Why man. I just don't get it. The acting is bad enough but the first thing that draws my eye to the lead actress is this. Why does an attractive young lady like this need to alter her appearance. What she has done to her face is painfully obvious. The eyelash implants are absurd and unnatural looking. Then there is the lip plumping. Her lips look like they could explode and it makes me want to poke them with a pin to see what comes out. This is something reserved for the aging who've lost lip volume, not for young women wanting bigger lips. Now that I've trashed Chelsea. The male MC is certainly handsome enough, and I love the interesting look of the secondary interest. The story is shallow and lacking any substance and in the end, I just can't get past her face. Lets talk about the acting because it is seriously that bad and they're conveying to us that the camera makes them nervous. I just can't get past those eyelashes and lips. Sorry. For me this is one of the things that ruins this movie.

I could not watch past 20 minutes, and that's a lot as I was ready to switch the movie off after 5 minutes. The first hard pill to swallow was the main actress Chelsea Gilson's eyelashes and lips, it was just extremely hard to get past. Then the acting... my daughter is a Theater major so I try not to critique too harshly and give all actors a chance but the acting was a disaster. I was disappointed because I have enjoyed many movies Lexi Giavagnoli has been in so I was looking forward to this one. I watch and enjoy all kind of cheesy, cliché Christmas and rom-com movies but this is a hard pass.
