Christmas Mail

 

Why?

My sister and I watched a YouTuber (Drew Gooden) talk about it and decided to give it a watch for ourselves. We watched this in Christmas in July though so it's legal.

What in the world?

A mailman is trying to get dirt on a mail lady who is trying to write letters as Santa back to kids. That's about the whole plot.

Personal thoughts

This movie is wild. I mean it was pretty great with the inconsistencies, but it felt like it was lacking things. The dog was barely in it which was a let down but other than that it was pretty good. The romance felt like it was lacking. There was also a weird lady in the movie which didn't make sense as a person. She was a person but her role to the main man was very confusing. Did they date once? Are they just super close friends? Nobody will ever know. The ending of this movie is wild because you would never be able to guess what it is based off the title. 

Score

I have to give this movie a 6 out of 10. I found enjoyment while watching this movie which I haven't been able to say about some of the other ones recently. Maybe I found it more enjoyable because I had seen someone else watch it but it's hard to pinpoint it. There were some weird parts where the dialogue was just plain awful. That was probably the best part of the movie just the dialogue. Oh the sprinkle fight was good too.

Deck the Heart

 

Why?

I had seen this movie last year, but I wanted to expose my grandma and sister to it. That's the whole reason we watched this movie.

What in the world?

A businessman is about to inherit his dead grandfather's house in Maine. He has to plan a party so he hires an event planner. Romance ensues.

Personal thoughts

This movie sucks. I can't help but love it though. I mean the acting in this movie is so bad which gives it all the charm it needs. The main guy is so robotic and that makes him really great. The two people weren't good and they were boring but the movie was good. Not really. It made my sister and grandma feel pain. That was not the intent. Casualties to the movie. There was this great scene where the girl is unconscious from the cold and he just puts blankets on her. That was funny. They also don't really show you much of the decoration or anything exciting. 

Score

I have to give this movie a 1 out of 10. Since this movie leaves a lot to the imagination, I have to give it a low score. I mean it did cause mental pain to my family, but that's besides the point. Oh and for a family Christmas party there was a lot of random people showing up. I mean the guy just kept inviting people which is odd.
