It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

I sometimes wonder why certain people choose to watch certain movies.....do not believe the negative reviews of this movie. This is a lovely Christmas romance movie, with good acting and realistic characters. I have certainly met and know people like these characters, even the parents of the husband to be....so I am confused by some of the reviews saying the characters are not believable. My husband and I enjoyed watching this together. You will too.

This Christmas movie currently available on Netflix is your regular Christmas cliched predictable TV Movie. What can i say, once you've seen one of these, you've seen them all. I don't know anything about romantic relationships, but i suspect that this is not how people are in reality. I guess the writers wanted to make a soppy Christmas romance flick. "A Christmas Detour" isn't very entertaining, but it does have a slightly interesting element, once you start watching you'll want to try and make it till the end just to satisfy a little bit of curiosity to find out what happens, but this film is so cliched - you will have already guessed the ending just by reading a few lines of the main plot.

The story is actually kind of cute (I guess I have a soft spot for snowed-in stories), but the ages of the actors are ridiculous. Frank and Maxine were born in 1976 and 1974, respectively--yet were supposed to be older (significantly, I believe, since they have an adult daughter)--while Paige and Dylan were also born in 1976 and 1974, respectively. This seriously makes no sense. Also, no one would roast a turkey all night unattended. Finally, I at least knew going in that Paige would be rah-rah marriage and anti-career, but...most Hallmark movies make me want to gag on their anti-feminist position.

The relatively low rating (6.1) and the drab description do not adequately describe. This is an excellent movie. The group of 4 characters Candace Cameron Bure, Paul Greene, Sarah Strange (Garage Sale Mysteries) and David Lewis were just superb. Great humor. Great Fun. It allowed for Candace to be at her best. Candace has starred in Moonlight & Mistletoe, Heart of Christmas, Let it Snow, Christmas Under Wraps and Journey Back to Christmas which were all so-so. This is by far the best. Lacey Chabert has also starred in many "not so great" Christmas films but A Wish for Christmas with Paul Greene was by far the best. There must be something about this Greene guy. I noticed Mark Brandon in a small part in this film, he also had a small but memorable part in A Wish for Christmas. Great that Candace has been in an excellent Christmas movie.
