Hello Cinephiles,
Today we’re talking about the 2022 film A Christmas to Treasure.
Story
The main gimmick of the movie was the treasure hunt, and it was lackluster at best. The love story was definitely front and centre, but the drama took more time than needed.
Score: 0
Characters
I liked most of the characters but the main character felt very petty and young. The entire group felt like they should be in their mid twenties not thirties. There was an immaturity that felt out of place.
The queer romance was nice to see however.
Score: 0.5
Dialogue
The movie felt like it was written too quickly and the dialogue was terrible. It felt forced, and several times like a low quality high school play.
The only exceptions being the really deep heart to hearts with the love interests.
Score: 0.5
Visuals and Music
The visuals were okay. I question how that one man decorated so much without noticing the treasure hunt, but other than that it was pretty.
The music wasn’t great and the mixing was distracting multiple times.
Score: 0.5
Fun
The movie was infuriating because it could have been so much better. The entire family’s opinion seemed to be “meh”.
Score: 0.5
Overall
The movie nails one or two monologues and isn’t terrible to look at, but don’t expect a fun treasure hunt.
Final Score: 2 Stars out of 5
