Fixing Up Christmas

 So the fourth and final christmas movie we saw last december on christmas eve, and the end of the writing away of that suffering hehehe.



Though I went in this movie with one clear goal in mind, how many actors from the previous three would appear in this one as well, as they seem to keep drawing from the same pool for all the minor roles in these films.  

They all seem to have the same uncle, aunt or cousin, no matter in which family and where in the United States they live.  This also is the one movie that didn't come from the Hallmark stable but from Reel One, yet I still counted three people in the above challenge.

But, I must say, this wasn't to bad a film actually.  The story goes around talented event planner Holly, who has a reputation of satisfying difficult clients, and she takes the job of helping a young CEO-in-making organise the christmas party at his father's company.  

During this party, it is the goal to impress the mayor for a new development project, and save the company as a result from impeding bankrupcy, and they grow closer to each other during the sorting out of the event.  But Holly's actions seem to threaten the project, and she might lose it all, until she goes for a private talk with the mayor and convinces him to back the project and everything falls into place.

Cheesy of course, because a christmas movie, but yet it had a bit more "tension"  to it for some reason.  The backdrop had bigger issues then the reuniting of old friends or estranged family typical in the previous three Hallmark flicks I overviewed, and that actually added at least some form of layer to this film.
