Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
If you want something deep or more interesting plot this movie is not that kind of movie, because this movie is not for everyone, But if you want something lighthearted and kind of kooky this would be it. The movie plot is predictable as all other movies out there, and wile there wasn't any twist to this movie besides the antagonist starting to date with the Cassie's lazy and weird brother, I was amused and entertained enough to sit through all the movie. This movie definitely had some quirky and cringe scenes which for some reason I found thoroughly endearing.
Watching this movie was like driving past a car crash. I didn't want to look away even though it was bad. While the premise was promising (Yes, I noticed the Notting Hill plot), the writing was sub par, the acting okay, and the chemistry between the two leads non-existent. The ending was also weird. I know it was a romantic comedy so it's supposed to have a "happily ever after", but the writers just completely rushed it, and got rid of the main antagonist but having her magically pair off with Cassie's strange brother. Disappointed. They could have done better. 1.5 hours of my life I'll never get back.
Seemed like a good idea and plot!. I was looking forward to another great Christmas Romance. I Love watching all the ION as well as competing networks Christmas movies, unfortunately there is Zero chemistry between Cassy and Alex. The actor who played Alex is perfect for the part but the actress who played Cassie, in my opinion, was A poor choice. The actress who played Trish (Cassie's friend) would have been a better choice for the role of Cassie. It was kinda like watching a train wreak and unbelievable that Alex would be attracted to Cassie. A Christmas Srar is not one I will be recommending to family or friends. Nor will it be on my yearly "must watch list".
Notting HIll revolves around the greatest female Hollywood star taking a year to court a nondescript, no life, small business owner in an out of the way location spending free time with humorous comic plot nutcases. A Star For Christmas revolves around the greatest male Hollywood star taking just the Christmas seaon to court a nondescript, no life, small business owner in an out of the way location spending free time with humorous comic plot nutcases. It lacks the across the board famous performers in even secondary roles punch of Notting Hill but has a charm that works and comes across in the edited print. There seems an excessive number of relatively unfamiliar male performers cast as cheesecake eye candy poseurs which can be ignored by filmgoers watching the movie for something else and a hook for filmgoers wanting to check them out. So many of the characters have similarities to the Notting Hill cast one might accidentally predict the next screwball twist which is supposed to be unexpected in screwball comedy by remembering what happened next to the parallel cast member in Notting Hill.
