Christmas on Repeat

source: Christmas on Repeat

There is not much in this world worse than the writing in this movie. The conversations are so ridiculous and inhuman that it feels uncanny in a scary way. Of course the acting is bad but that is typically expected for low-budget holiday TV films. The mother in the film goes through however many days of faux-Groundhog Day and has zero character development and has a gift ideas list that is genuinely just one statement about each of her kids without actual gift anything - "Likes social media star... no, really* likes social media star". The entire climax of the movie became a 10-second conversation that could have been brought up by either party and neither of them had the communication skills to discuss (clearly the issue isn't just work). The continuity mistakes are rampant - you can see the filmmakers in the reflection of the car. There is fake snow in one shot and then nothing in the next and they're supposed to be in the same areas. The kid is supposed to be a basketball star and can't dribble. And the pushing of stereotypes is of course the worst - women just can't have a strong career or have a work-life balance tailored to her family without there being some kind of divorce talk in these movies, but of course men can grind away for 20 hour shifts. I love watching trash Christmas movies but this one was particularly abhorrent!!

How many groundhog days movies have we had over the years, too many to count!! Making one Christmasy isn't going to make a difference!! Plus there is no chemistry between the married couple!! He was just pick for the wrong reasons!! You get more chemistry between her and the Matthew Lawrence lookalike!! I went into this one thinking "oh no, not another watered down Hallmark/Lifetime schmaltz-fest for dorks! BUT! I was literally grabbed by the lapels and punched in the face with the solid gold brick that is Christmas on Repeat!! This is a professional review!! No everyday movie fan will ever start a review like that! Ten stars is what that one gave this film? Since Amazonia took over this site, the fakes have flocked from the woodworks!! Trust this real review I'm giving, avoid this stupid movie at all cost!!
