Watch The Mistletoe Inn For Free

The Worst Film Ever

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

The acting in this movie is really good.

I only started watching some of Hallmark's Christmas movies recently and from what I have seen, they have definitely got the formula down to a pat, but it does seem that when they adapt the script from a book, the writing and dialogue is less formulaic and richer in tone.The Mistletoe Inn was adapted from a novel by Richard Paul Evans. For starters, the central premise and setting seems different - after being dumped by her pretentious and pompous writer-boyfriend (who has just one published novel to his name), a successful car dealer and wannabe romance writer struggling to finish her own first book attends a writing conference/retreat not only to meet her favourite romance novelist (once a bestselling author but who hasn't published a book in many years), but also to take herself lout of her comfort zone and push herself to see if she indeed has what it takes to be a writer by aiming to win a writing competition at the retreat. Her jerk of an ex ends up being at the same conference, but so is another interesting writer she meets there who is himself struggling from writers' block. Sure, the movie follows the usual route of her initially disliking this new guy but by the end, the two of them fall for each other; this is a Hallmark movie after all.Despite the many negative reviews (and I really don't get all the hate here), Alicia Witt is just terrific. Her character, Kim Rossi, is insecure and uncertain of her own abilities but it is her very vulnerability that is actually the key towards unlocking her literary talents, and her budding romance with Zeke, played by a very earnest and personable David Alpay, is sweet and believable. I thought the chemistry between the two leads was just wonderful. Also, the scenes that take place at the writing retreat seemed realistic as well.My issues with the third act aside (see below - spoiler alert!), I certainly enjoyed the movie, and I will definitely be keeping a look out for Miss Witt's back catalogue of Hallmark Christmas movies!Postscript (SPOILERS AHEAD!) I do feel the last act was a little rushed and raised a couple of issues which weren't properly sorted out. Firstly, Kim's insufferably smarmy ex who has grown increasingly jealous of her abilities does an absolutely shiitty thing in sabotaging her chances at winning the writing competition, directly implicating another good girlfriend she has made at the conference; it is never resolved, he is never found out, and this annoyed me to no end. Sure, she rejects him when he comes back to her at the end begging to be taken back, but I thought justice just wasn't served satisfactorily.

I do love Alicia. She was my very favourite part of 'Cybill'. Continuity people need to be strung up from their toenails! Is it really that hard to figure out if the purse is in the shot? (snowball fight scene) Where did her suitcase go? Why is there a 'Birks' in NY??? Come on people - sharpen up! If I can 'proof read' from home, send me a msg!

Maybe the worst Hallmark Christmas movie ever. So boring, so bad. My wife and I endured it like a root canal. I'm not a big Alicia Witt fan and would strongly disagree with the person who said she is the "queen" of Hallmark movies. For me, she is way down the list. One of the few Hallmark movies I will never watch a second time.

Lucia guest plays Samantha and is charming.It's not as engaging or entertaining. David is charming and handsome. His character is sweet and funny.
