Terrible even for a Hallmark movie and that's saying a lot

mango-10

I go into Hallmark Christmas movies expecting bad, predictable story lines. I can suspend reality for 2 hours. This one though was rotten. It's supposed to be a scavenger hunt where solving clues the fastest is the key to winning. Yet we have the leads stopping to have some chili for lunch. We also have the leads stopping in the middle of the road to make a snowman. We also have the male lead manage to pull some strings with the Army and get a boys wish come true in a span of about 2 hours. To make matters worse, in the movie's climax - where the big $$ announcement is made to save the historic mill, Tom Arnold looks beyond disinterested. More like get me out of here, I need to fire my agent. Mercifully, the only good thing about this movie was that the leads only sang 5 verses of the 12 Days of Christmas.

score 1/10
