Good Morning Christmas! (2020)
A Hallmark movie about bickering news anchors who have to finish out their contracts while finding their Christmas spirit in a tiny festive town – it doesn’t sound like a winner, does it? Give it a chance, folks, because it is a lot better than it sounds.
Alison Sweeney and Marc Blucas have a very different style while on the air. Alison likes to rehearse; Marc likes to ad-lib. She’s a planner who resents Marc’s seemingly carefree attitude and thinks his career came easy to him because he transitioned from professional football to anchorman in the blink of an eye. (For those of you who don’t know, Marc was also an athlete in real life before he became an actor.) Her callousness is sometimes hurtful, though, and Marc takes the time to tell her that he’s worked just as hard as she has. As they get to know each other during the last week of their talk show, they might find respect and affection can take the place of a year’s worth of hostility.
I just love Marc Blucas. He’s so romantic! Every time I see him in a movie, he sweeps the girl off her feet with his teary love confessions and grand romantic gestures. The subplot of Good Morning Christmas may have tried my patience a bit (why do millennials think every pie-in-the-sky dream is inevitable if they find the ‘courage’ to ‘go for it’?), but I very willingly stuck in there to see what Marc had in store for Allison later on in the movie. It was worth the wait, and I wasn’t the only one who gave a little swoon during our movie night.
