A Christmas Wish in Hudson

I knew going in that this movie wasn't a big budget movie. With that being said, I loved the charm and simplicity of the scenery and characters. The storyline was what I would expect, the title gives it away. Christmas is a magical time to spend with friends, family and going home, Hudson WI is a quaint Wisconsin town that offers all of this for a true Midwestern Christmas experience. This little movie is family friendly and will remind viewers of their small hometown, the shops, locals and friendliness. If you grew up in a small town, visited grandparents in a small town and have memories of the lights, traditions and quaint charm, this gem is for you!

I'm a sucker for romance movies, but this one was a time waster. As other reviewers have written, the acting, production, writing are all sub par. All the actors could use acting lessons. In particular, the actress playing Lori chose to play the role as an innocent, inexperienced adolescent. I kept expecting her to coyly look to the dude while shuffling her feet and saying "aw shucks". Her reaction to the kiss was that of someone who had never been kissed before. There was absolutely no chemistry between the lead actors, which is especially ironic considering that they have a conversation about how they felt inexplicably drawn to each other the first time they met.

Great story line -You have a habit of using terrible leading men. In this movie Rib Hillis is not working with the female star Alex Rinehart AT ALL! The young boy, I think that's Carlos Merchay does not fit the movie either. The young girl playing the daughter needs a better actor to fit the script. This is not the only movie that We as a family have recorded and started to watch but when we see the pairings of male stars with the Female actress and they just are terrible lookers we end up deleting the movie. Most of the time they are also a sad actor, no acting abitlity at all. We love this channel, it gives the Hallmark channel competion .
