Tiny T Review of Christmas Cupcakes

Christmas Cupcakes (2018 TV Movie)

Could have been something, ended up nothing

[2/10 · 28 December 2022]

Normally I'm a sucker for christmas movies so you really doing something bad if you managed to turn my back on a movie in the first 15 minutes. This year is no different then the last 2 years when I started to pick up on this special segment of movies. Up to 20 movies in different variaties so not bad at all. And then I ran into this one. On top it seems promising. Center of attention is a cupcake bakery, surprisingly the best in America, in transition to the next family generation by the early demise of the last remaining parent, the father. Ofcourse the siblings first has to get in line by overcoming there differences of which the job of one of them is the major. Her company apparently gave her the afternoon of for the funeral, which was allready a wake up call I missed. A couple of scenes later we see her on her job in conversation with her cocky boss about finishing up for the holidays. And out of the blue in the conversation the boss adds that this should be the last time she lets her personal live interfere with her work. After her surprice responce if she means the untimely death of here father the boss stone could answers yes, the company is her family so they can't be bothered by these personal issues. Completely unnecessary for the movie and therefor plain lazy from the director to creat a break in the working relationship. And that does it for me, I expect a minimum respect to do a half bad effort of making a believable sequence of events. Not here so I pass.
