I feel like I’m in a Hallmark movie funk. I watched Nantucket Noel last night and…well…I think my review speaks for itself. Christmas Treasure is definitely better than Nantucket Noel and I think some people will love it. Unfortunately, it didn’t click with me. Here’s a quick re-cap and my full two cents. Enjoy!
Quick Re-Cap
Lou becomes involved in opening a 100 year old time capsule and helping with refilling it for another 100 years. While in town, she also meets a talented chef who she begins to have feelings for. Now she needs to figure out if she should stay or move to New York to further her writing career.
My Two Cents
I’ve tried watching this movie twice. Both times I was initially underwhelmed, but I stuck with it this time. It took me a full hour to begin enjoying the movie. To be honest, if it wasn’t in my Hallmark movie bracket, I probably would have given up on it a third time and moved on with life.
I like Jordin and Michael. Together they have good chemistry. Plus, I really liked Marcy! She was a great addition to this movie. The whole movie could have been a romance with her and a guy and I might have liked it more. OR they could have capitalized on Jordin’s vocal talents more. I really enjoyed listening to her singing!
Visually, this is definitely one of the prettiest movies I’ve seen in a long time. From the garland, wreathes, and Christmas trees to the shops and buildings, this movie is beautiful. It screams Christmas and makes me smile watching it!
One of my favorite scenes was the cooking contest. I had tears in my eyes when Marcy won the cooking contest. See! I was really invested in her story line!
I have a feeling this movie will resonate with a lot of people. Sadly, I feel like it’s missing that IT factor that sucks you in and keeps your attention. I’m not adding it to my must watch Countdown to Christmas list. Give it a try and you might like it.
