Christmas in the Smokies

Shelby is angry at Mason. Through a full 2/3rds of the movie her look at him is like a super villain that is enough to freeze and shatter him. Angry!!! Plus she is about to lose her farm. And don't forget the developer that is going to destroy the beauty of everything. So not only is this story almost exactly like so many others, it is a total downer. Too much screen time is spent dwelling on the financial problems and Shelby's futile efforts to fight it.

Almost no screen time is spent with a rekindling romance. I wouldn't even call this a romance. There is no comedy except Alan Powell doing a deliberately stupid dance on TV at the beginning. Then he gets made fun of for it for a while afterwards. By the end of the movie, based on the type of movie this is you know Shelby and Mason are going to get back together. Problem is, based on what's in the movie, there is no reason for it to happen.

There is a little performing of Christmas jingles, country style. A little.

Don't watch this unless you have never seen a Hallmark type movie based on saving the farm.
