A Merry Christmas Wish (2022 TV Movie)
4/10
Far too same old/same old

Warning: Spoilers
We REALLY like Jill Wagner and especially Cameron Matheson, and they tried their best, but they got stuck with the same story that's been done MYRIAD times in the years of Hallmark or GAF Christmas movies. Maybe this is a standard plot that gets assigned to a group of writers two or three times a year. Occasionally a twist gets added to it to liven up the cliches, but that didn't happen here.

Big city success goes to small town. Drab boyfriend without much understanding of her needs. Gets involved with the small town event and the charming, sexy small town guy. Leaves her busy career for the small town life. Dumps her Brooks Brothers boyfriend for the farm hand.

Not a surprise, and the entire plot was telegraphed in literally, the first scene of the movie.

Not only that, but I found the writers' timeline of the history of the characters utterly unbelievable, and I don't think the writers know one thing about how a farm runs or the production of honey. LOL

I was most amused with a gift at the end that contained one-third of a SMALL jar of honey? Is that all the prop room could come up with? LOL

I found many scenes and lines that had me involuntarily rolling my eyes. Sad.

Only the two actors trying their best with this tired material saved it from being a complete waste of time, and saved at least a couple of stars on my rating.
