“Christmas Under the Stars” is one of those movies that could have been so much better. There’s a good cast who all turned in solid performances, deeper than usual characters, a fairly original concept (by Hallmark standards) – plus, the movie with LOTS of feels, but never got super sad. Yet somehow it never all came together, due mostly to the une...
Our Favorite Scenes
In a scene in Clem’s trailer, Clem at one point tells Nick, “If you think you love a woman, don’t waste time. Even 41 years wasn’t enough.” In a later scene, Clem is mad at Nick for passing up a job opportunity. Nick starts talking about how low he was when he met Clem and how Nick thought his job was the most important thing in life. But working on the lot changed him. “If you hadn’t been here this year to show me how to get back, I would’ve lived a life that was all about me. This Christmas...
Nice & Christmasy Visuals & Sound
Like most all of Hallmark’s movies this year “Christmas Under the Stars” looked nice. Everything was decorated nicely – and there were plenty of great visuals to enjoy. Plus there were some of the typical Christmas activities you’d expect, such as the town tree lighting, tree decorating, and opening of presents. The music was also good. Nick and Julie even did some caroling while decorating their tree.
You’ll Laugh…
When Clem sends Nick multiple trees. When Clem sends the second tree, there’s a note explaining that he sent it so first tree wouldn’t be lonely. By the end of the movie, Nick has FOUR trees.
Cranky Julie
Julie used his old job and her financial situation as an excuse to break off the budding romance with Nick. And she never really even let him explain or get a word in as she did so. They never really got over that. Or resolved it. The whole conflict was sort of just dropped and forgotten. Or was that all forgiven because Clem got hurt?
The Ending
What didn’t we like about the ending? Well, yes, the Chicago skyline was obviously green-screened and super fake looking. But the real issue is what happened before we saw that. The kiss. Specifically the lead up to it. There wasn’t any. Nick and Julie didn’t share any feelings. Or say much of anything. There was no build up. So it feel totally flat (which goes back to the whole “lack of chemistry” problem).
Unanswered Questions
1. Whatever happened the model airplane Matt was making? Did he figure it out and finish it? Maybe Nick could have helped him? Or maybe Matt could have gotten a Christmas present that was just the right tool he needed to finish making it? 2. Why didn’t Clem send Julie her tree after the first time she came to the lot? Or the other time (they went multiple times). Clem gave Matt tree clippings so they would smell good. Then he sent a tree anyway? 3. How many trees did Clem give away? It’s that...
