My Grown-Up Christmas List (2022 TV Movie)
2/10
Bah, humbug!
27 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Just between you and me, this movie was annoying in the extreme. If thie is what Hallmark is offering us, in the wake of the mass exodus of many of their biggest stars, the Christmas season does not look promising.

The cast was fine, the leads had great chemistry (they should, they are a real life couple). No quarrels with any of the supporting cast.

Many problems of the military aspect and continuity.

1. Hair too long.

2. outside in uniform without his cover.

3. Facial hair - the best friend of the groom, it was not even nicely groomed, it was scruffy.

4. Civilian plates on military vehicles.

5. He hears that a helicopter is missing with his best friend aboard and BAM, he's there the next day. Because in the entire United States army there was no one closer who could rescue the men on the helicopter. LIke maybe a team of Army Rangers or something.

6. One phone call gets her to the "super secret training base, somewhere in eastern Europe. Wow, can you say Security breach. Because her grandfather the gooms parents and a whole bunch of others were there for the wedding.. Hope no one had a camera on that "super secret training base, somewhere in eastern Europe. Which is cllearly not so secret anymore.

I am sure I missed many more, but I am not military and not a military expert. But come on, watch NCIS and you know that in uniform you wear your cover outside.

Other stuff.

1. In 2 years nobody aged.

2. In 2 years nobodies hair grew or hair stylle changed.

3. The crocheting lady could tell he was military, because of his posture. Never mind the too long hair.

4. They met and fell in love without a single date. Most of their relationship was facetime. Ok, maybe.

5. The story really dragged, I was tempted to turn it off multiple times, but I kept thinking it has to get better..One more thnig to put on my boy was I wrong list.. Overall it was an ok movie, good for families. Ok but weak storyline.

My advice it's worth watching.
