The Christmas Dance (2021) -
This film overall was a bit preachy and on the moral high ground. It was also a bit wet and drippy. They all seemed considerably holier than thou, except the lead female, Sarah, played by Kristen Vaganos, who was just a bit of a misery. It was also hard to believe that she moved away and hated Christmas because she fell over at a nativity once, which made her character seem very weak indeed.
I think that it would have been better if Sherman Jr. (Miles Fabre) was getting together with Jason, who played the lead male role Carson Nicely, because Sarah seemed like a mardy cow and there was far more chemistry between the two men, so their relationship was much more likely to work. At least the scenes that I saw them in, because when Jason started to sing about God, I really had to give up on it. I actually threw up a little in my mouth. And I really couldn't see how Jason and Sarah were ever supposed to be falling for each other.
It had none of the usual cheer that these films have and it felt like the Christmas activities and nice things to do were all such a chore and for God.
Unscored as unfinished.
