Christmas at the Ranch | Blogmas Day 17

 

This is the plot that most felt like a Hallmark Christmas movie. I feel like I've seen this exact story at least twice before, although this did have the bonus of being sapphic, so I had to add it to the list.

When Haley (Laur Allen) returns to her family's ranch to save it from going under, she falls for ranch-hand Kate (Amanda Righetti).

This was adorable. Of course it is very similar to a lot of other Christmas movies, but it plays into this well.

There's really good chemistry between the two main characters. They are believable together, and they have a cute, fun relationship that's really enjoyable to watch. 

While Christmas is a major theme, the film itself wasn't particularly festive or Christmassy. 

There were quite a few music montages that could have been cut out. The film felt a bit longer than it needed to be and this was probably why.

The story itself was fine, but the characters are really what we're watching for.

Overall, this film was cute, fun and entertaining, and I'd definitely recommend it.

Originality - 3/10

Christmas Spirit - 4/10

Christmas Music - 2/10

It's 8 days until Christmas!
