Le Bal de Noël

I can't say it wasn't predictable, but a very cute story. Not going to be very memorable or stand out in a crowd of made-for-tv holiday movies, but also not the worst I've ever seen. I really loved the mural she painted!

I hate it. I get the point the movie was trying to make but that was her chance to make it in the artistic world and she threw away her shot. Emily Osment lacked the charm and spirit most of the Hallmark stars have. The characters didn't have chemistry. The only thing I liked was the relationship of Heidi with her nephews. I rolled my eyes several times. Way more than the average Hallmark movie.

I just logged in to make justice to the movie with an honest review. It wasn't even my idea to watch the movie, it was my mom who started playing it on Netflix, and then she made me watch it when I was passing by. It has all the clichés you could ever imagine or expect in a romantic Christmas movie: a dance, a city girl, an ex-high school love, even a Christmas recital! This movie has it all packed in a two-hour length. The movie is so terrible it's funny. Like, it has so many clichés that you already know what is going to happen every second, and even when normal people wouldn't dare to do something or think the way the actors think or react... they keep making strange and nonsense actions just to fulfill the cliché. Poor acting, poor directing, poor script all in one big mess. Cannot recommend it. My mom loved it though so, maybe hallmark nows best.

I can't understand how people rated this film highly - maybe my expectations of entertainment are too high but this must be one of the most boring Christmas movies I've seen! Christmas movies are meant to be cheesy and are rarely going to be chart toppers - one expects that but this movie had no original storyline, characters lacked depth or any personality whatsoever, and I noticed how it lacked music or christmassy background soundtracks. What can I say - it was just so, so boring...don't waste your time....unless you're looking for something to put on in the background while you snooze on the sofa ;-)

I lost track of the number of times I had to pause this movie, because it was so cringey. Heidi is supposed to be a very talented artist, who forgot how much she loved painting. But when she finally does paint, her art work is infantile and silly looking, still everyone acts like she's amazing. That was quite funny. The chemistry between her and Chris is non existent and the final kiss one of the driest I've ever witnessed between two lead charachters.. I did like the theme of "Do I live a life that makes me happy or just how I think I should live..?" It was a cute film. Silly and cringey, but sweet somehow.

Only I minor both supposedly graduated high school 2007 Ryan born in 1984 and Emily 1992 shouldn't the 2 leads be same age.Emily and Ryan good together though.hallmark movies women seem so cold unfeeling guys like Ryan seem genuine and caring Emily is not a good actress compares to Danica McKellar(diva)Candace Cameron Bure awful voice like chalk on à blackboard

She's meant to be an artist and the 'art' is sooo bad. They look like badly coloured in drawings from a 5 year olds colouring book. I just burst out laughing every time her 'talent' with discussed with apparent sincerity. I'm assuming that in a cut scene a real friend has a realistic word with her about her art and that's why she picks the guy.
