7.0 stars.
An average for me is around 7.0 stars. I'm not harsh on movies like many, who will give a bad movie 1 star, but let's face it there are not many movies ever made that deserve 1 star. It has to be a super bad worse than "B" rated in my opinion. Seems like most of Hallmark films end up right around 7.0. Hello to myself, I'm doing reviews per my own personal rating system so that next year I can see what to watch again. SOOOOO many Christmas flicks, oh my goodness. 8.0 is a yearly viewing, 7.5-7.9 is generally a 1-2 years. 7.0-7.4 is 3-5 years. Anything below 7.0 is maybe 5-10 years if ever.
Female lead: I like her a lot, to be shallow, she's blond, thin, very pretty, likable, talented, and has above average charisma.
Male lead: he's in everything, and he's good. I'll watch anything with him (usually). 'Haul Out the Holly'... didn't watch that one, he's in it. It has bad reviews - really bad.
Chemistry: good, but very limited.
Support cast: not bad, not great, just average. We have several non actors trying to act, and they did ok. Her sister was pretty good. His father and mother were so limited I can't rate them at all. The producers and other big wig execs also can't really gauge their performances.
Writing: average.
Directing: average.
Cinematography: average.
Music: better than usual, the actual live singing was inspiring at times, this was probably the focus of the producers.
X-factor: none.
Entertainment value: average. There were a few brilliant moments in this film, but they lost the touch for most of it, then someone found it again. It was haphazard.
