Boyfriends of Christmas Past

source: Boyfriends of Christmas Past

The male lead was far superior to the female lead. Again forced. Making forced chemistry is no chemistry. Might have given another star had it not been for the token couple that Hallmark seems obligated to place in their movies. Sooo not suited for families.

This movie had WAY too many storylines and put literally the main part of the movie on the back burner. Every scene mentions that Lauren is in love with Nate, to her face, in some way, so what was the point of the movie? She made it clear she didn't want to tell him her feelings. The ex-boyfriends maybe get 3 minutes of screen time each, again, so what was the point in the movie? They spent so much more time focused on her job project. This doesn't even hit the Hallmark warm fuzzies. Just skip it.

The only reason I gave it one star is because Raymond is so cute. This movie has so much potential but the lead characters had no chemistry. The lead actress got on my nerve. Her acting was not good. They should have cast someone else... someone younger. I was actually hoping Nate would end up with Lily. If you have absolutely nothing to do go ahead and watch it. This is just another cookie cutter Hallmark movie gone bad.

Need I say more? (But I will.) The movie is a great variation on the Scrooge theme. But it's not about money, but something more important: opening one's self to real love. It was nice to see the next generation of faces as well. (See what I did there?) There are enough xmas movie channels to see our favorite actors of all ages (including our longtime favorites) to spread the roles out.

The lead actress Catherine Kim is too old for the part and is a fairly modest actor to make up for it. Not a good combo. Great acting could've saved the obvious age difference between the two leads especially up against the vibrant leading man. The leading man, Raymond Ablack, was unhelpful by being a first rate actor and made the disconnect between the two even more distinct. The story was benign and writing was fair but uninspired. This all kept it from being a "watch again" for me. Do more with Mr. Ablack, tho, please. He has real star quality and acting chops. Agree with others that he needs a shave, tho. All in all, blah.

Poor version of a twist of A Christmas Carol. Another character who has no concept of the other person's love for her. There was no real chemistry between the lead characters. I did enjoy the father and the stepmother. I hope the other Christmas movies will be better than this one. This is not a keeper.

Favorite scene with Lauren Kim (Catherine Haena Kim) - Being visited by Logan, Revisiting their Trip to Washington and the Zip-Lining/Proposal Incident. BTW, I Loved this movie!

The lead actor and actress were both fantastic. The dad and stepmom were charming and fun. I had no idea what to expect, but I truly loved it. I hope to see these leads become regulars on Hallmark! I truly don't know what the negative reviews are talking about, everyone did a wonderful job.

Such bad performance from female lead. Just couldn't get past the acting. The story was very sappy, boring and unbelievable. Sorry but what is happening on Hallmark. Maybe ideas have dried up. I sure hope not.
