#Making spirits bright 2021 full
5/10.The holiday season is still in full swing here in Michigan’s Great Southwest! There’s a little something for everyone - from visits with Santa and daily giveaways to holiday-themed train rides, musicals and light displays. Overall, just like my expectations mixed feelings here. The business subplot was too much of a filler distraction that didn't have that much to it. The story has charming and touching moments, but generally felt too low key and safe with not an awful lot new. The cheese and schmaltz can be a little much. The dialogue generally could have been tighter and been more natural. Was also not a fan of the friend character, who came over as obnoxious and over-zealous. Having said all of this, the supporting cast did vary. Did like the sister relationship, which had a lot of heart. Some of the supporting cast are solid, primarily the parents. The music is pleasantly festive and the placement is just about right.
It looks good, some lovely scenery here as usual and loved the lights, which reminded me fondly of the annual Christmas parade that went through our town for charity. Their chemistry, while low key, is sweet, natural and is definitely there, the change not being too fast as it could easily have been with this type of story. Marks is also appealing, looking relaxed and not overplaying or under-acting. Cole does not come over as an ice queen and is instead quite engaging, with her character not being too perfect or having exaggerated flaws. Nothing is inherently awful here, it's never on the same level of for example Paul Greene's truly awful character in 'Christmas CEO', but not an awful lot amazed at the same time. Meaning that it's watchable and inoffensive but also unexceptional and nothing out of the ordinary, with some good things but also some things that came off a bit ehh. 'Making Spirits Bright' as far as the 2021 Hallmark Christmas films go is somewhere around middle of the pack. Kind of like Romeo and Juliet or Hatfields and McCoys set at Christmas. Was a bit mixed on the premise, with it not being novel territory but did like that it did try to do something different with the feuding. Am less familiar with Carlo Marks, but what has been seen of him has been pretty amiable if not mind-blowing. Taylor Cole has always been inconsistent for me, in some roles she is charming, in others she's too icy.
