Well, I have to say that the title of this 2018 Christmas movie and the cover wasn't exactly great selling points, and I was having some doubts about the movie. But still, with it being the holiday season and all, and me not having already seen "Christmas on Honeysuckle Lane", of course I opted to sit down to watch what writer Caitlin D. Fryers managed to concoct.
Needless to say that I was expecting this to be another over-the-top sappy cheesy romantic Christmas movie, you know, the ones that come a dime a dozen. But writer Caitlin D. Fryers and director Maggie Greenwald actually managed to surprise me with what they delivered here. Why? Well, simply because the storyline told in "Christmas on Honeysuckle Lane" was actually one that transcended the usual Christmas romantic cheese. And I found the storyline to be every bit as entertaining as it was well-written.
So if you enjoy Christmas movies and want to watch something that is more than the usual girl hates boy but is forced to work together and falls in love type of Christmas movie, then by all means give "Christmas on Honeysuckle Lane" a chance.
I wasn't familiar with the majority of the cast in this 2018 Christmas movie. I only recognized Laura Leighton actually, and she wasn't the lead actress. But I will say that the actors and actresses in the movie put on good performances in bringing the movie to life on the screen. Lead actress Alicia Witt (playing Emma) and lead actor Colin Ferguson (playing Morgan) really carried the movie quite well and had a good on-screen chemistry.
"Christmas on Honeysuckle Lane" is the type of Christmas movie that definitely has a feel-good atmosphere to it, and it definitely put me in a good mood. So this is certainly a Christmas movie that I can and will warmly recommend you sit down to watch if you like Christmas movies and if you have the chance.
Actually, "Christmas on Honeysuckle Lane" is one of the better Christmas movies that I have sat down to watch thus far in 2021. And I've seen more than twenty so far, only ten days into December.
My rating of "Christmas on Honeysuckle Lane" lands on a most well-deserved seven out of ten stars. It is a good movie, though it is not going to become a Christmas classic for me. Nor do I think I will actually ever sit down to watch it a second time.
