The Mistle-Tones (2012)
Cheesy, melodramatic, and hardly suspenseful – but if you like to just put on a Christmas movie and zone out, or have one on in the background while you decorate or make cookies, The Mistle-Tones might be perfect for you. It focuses on two rival singing groups, one led by Tori Spelling and the other by Tia Mowry-Hardrict. Tia has her heart set on joining Tori’s group, but when she doesn’t make the cut, she forms her own group and challenges Tori to a sing-off on Christmas Eve.
Oh, the drama! Just kidding, of course. It’s extremely silly. I can’t imagine anyone past high school truly enjoying it. But younger kids who let petty jealousies get in the way during choir class might get into the story. Anyone with a trained voice will undoubtedly cringe at the popular singing styles and modern arrangements of the carols – but again, younger kids who sing that way themselves might really like it. To each his own; I just want to make sure you know what you’re getting into when you pop in The Mistle-Tones.
