Christmas Everlasting (2018 TV Movie)
6/10
Not plausible?
2 January 2024
6.1 stars.

What we have here is a very very standard hallmark production, the only difference is the actors are not usually seen in these sorts of movies, at least not any that I've seen lately. It has an all-star cast, Haysbert he's a well-known famous man, who only does top-notch movies. What I was unable to get accustomed to was the story itself is too standard and over done, and although the actors did very well, it's basic, and not plausible in many respects. The backstory is interesting, but the actors they use as their younger selves do not have enough resemblance to the older current actors. There were several parts of the story that I felt I could've improved upon if I wrote it myself. But I'm not a writer, even then, I know it could've been much better. The focus of the story is more about the friends of her sister, than her sister. I wanted to see more about who her sister was before and after the accident, so we could get an idea of what we were missing. So her sister is an ethereal concept that we never really understand and never will, so it leaves a gap in our understanding of who, what, and more importantly, why. The conclusion is predictable and only magnifies the point that it's not a plausible reality. No sister withholds such a monumental truth. The guilt, shame, nope. Too rudimentary. You might enjoy it, it's just not for me.
