A Kismet Christmas Review | Countdown to Christmas (2022) | Hit or Miss Hallmark Movie Reviews

I feel that I might be being overly generous, but I'll give it a Six Geese rating. It wasn't awful, but for me, its flaws kept in the lower half. You guys nailed most of the plot holes and nit-picky bits, but one that seemed really off to me involved the tantrum and ripping up of the recipe. When it happened, I assumed that the mom would simply tape it together again. It was torn into, what, eight pieces? It wasn't as if the recipe was flushed down a toilet or burned in a fireplace. But no, everyone just accepts that the recipe was now gone for good. (And what DID happen to the recipe? Did mom actually put it back together, hide it, and then lie to everyone for years? Was it healed by the magic hole in the wall?) You guys mentioned the flashback to the bizarre morning living room wedding. To me, it was so weird and unlikely that it almost feels like an unreliable narrator plot device. Instead, I think that scene, like most of the movie, was brought down by overly hasty screenwriting with too little editing.

Hi Everyone! What did you guys think of a Kismet Christmas? Where would it fall on the Christmas Meter for you? Thanks again!
