Scavenger hunt
This is a bit of a different approach for a Christmas story, although a scavenger hunt is not unique. This one is about chasing down family ornaments that Whitney mistakenly put out in the trash. An unknown person rescued them and is leading her about town with clues. I thought I knew who the person was but I was wrong. The story did have some interesting turns. The cast does a credible job. The leads have the chemistry of old friends who might grow into more. Tiya Sircar is at times charming, but at other times, Whitney is a little whiny. As in many holiday movies, there are lots of the trappings of Christmas such as baking cookies. Also as in many of these movies, some of the circumstances beg credulity. (Are totally empty window displays for days on end really better than mediocre ones?)
Enjoyable Holiday Movie, well acted
I like Dianne Ladd. she is a great grandmother type in these roles. With a twinkle and some sass. The story was not terribly unique, but it was easy watching and I did not get bored. The sets were good and the two leads did a very good job. They were not bland holiday movie actors. Tiya Sircar has spark and the childhood buddy/neighbor played by Edward Ruttle was quite good. They elevated it. Enjoyable, watchable holiday movie.
pleasant enough, but left me wondering
By "pleasant enough", I mean it was sweet, with references to past family Christmases, had some attractive Christmasy scenes, and the acting was OK, incl. veteran Diane Ladd. But the part I wasn't crazy about was: the whole scavenger hunt premise was unrealistic. Once the ornaments and notes start appearing, Whitney should have been SO happy that SOMEBODY found the ornaments and saved them. Instead, we're supposed to believe all she's interested in is figuring out the riddles of where the next ornament is, and who sent it.
