I'm not a huge holiday movie fan with movies like this but I had to watch it because it was filmed in my area which doesn't happen often. It did have some different elements that were not typical for this type of meet-cute holiday movie which I appreciated. The acting was pretty good over all and spot on for some Minnesotan-isms. I'm glad they didn't over do the holiday decorations like some movies but I could definitely tell in some scenes that it was not filmed in the winter. I also like the fact that a lot of the actors are actually from Minnesota and they showed quite a few local features. It's not going to be a holiday favorite but definitely one I'll watch again.

If you like Christmas, hockey, and romantic comedies and have some time you want to sit back and watch a movie and not think too much, this is a happy little movie that is largely predictable, kinda sugary sweet, and Hallmark Channel boilerplate. Jesse Bradford is Danny Carmody, Jr, a bar owner in Duluth, MN. He owns Carmody's Irish Pub in Duluth, Minnesota. One night, an artist named Jess Wolfe comes into Danny's pub and a typical script conversation ensues. She leaves him with no phone number, only a name on a coaster - and Danny figures out who she is. He makes the connections and they opt for a first date which is probably standard in Duluth - a trip to see the local UMD (Univ of Minn-Duluth) Bulldogs hockey team. They wind up on the overhead Jumbotron Kiss Cam with less than a minute left in the game, they kiss...and the Bulldogs win moments later. This happens again and again - and the local crowd wants them at every game as the team gets on a heat streak. Bringing conflict to the simple narrative is the fact Jess is trying to make it in Duluth as an artist, isn't from there - and has lost the Duluthian whom she loved previous to meeting Danny. Naturally, they stop dating, the movie takes a turn, and the end is rather predictable if lovable. Nothing overly complicated. I do recommend this movie for an enjoyable view IF you are not from Duluth. I visit the city about once per year (it's a favorite place of mine), and many of the things in the movie will drive you crazy if you get hung up on accuracy. To mention a few examples, the UMD Bulldogs are the Alabama or Georgia of college hockey while the underlying narrative turns them into scrappy underdogs who haven't won anything in 30 years; they walk out of the hockey game and are shown walking past Fitger's Hotel and Brewery, which is a GOOD WALK (not that you can't do it) from the hockey arena; in another scene, they are supposed to be on top of Carmody's and it's clearly on top of Fitger's (you can see the letter); I don't know of anyone actually from Duluth who would eat the snow; Jess (in the real world) lives right across the street from the pub but takes a taxi (another rarity) to the pub from her apartment. Again - you don't know this if you're not from Duluth but it has apparently upset some folks who want to take it a tad too literally rather than accepting that every movie does this to some degree. There's a lot of scenery of Duluth in this movie, most notably the town symbol, the Aerial Lift Bridge, which appears 3 or 4 times. Just a note, though: the scenery isn't "really" what it looks like in winter, and them walking outside without scarves and mittens etc is laughable at that time of year (note: the movie was clearly filmed in the warmer months). The movie isn't going to win any Oscars, although both leads to a fantastic job, but it isn't "Howard the Duck", either. Enjoyable.

I love this little gem of a holiday movie!!! It's like a modern day Fever Pitch (with Drew Barrymore & Jimmy Fallon classic rom com). I have always liked Jesse Bradford and loved seeing him in this cute rom com!!! Also from Scandal is Katie Lowes who is great and shows real emotion in this movie. They had such great chemistry, banter but also solid emotional scenes. This story tugged at your heart strings while also making you smile and laugh. Such a great, heart warming story about love, grief and everything that falls in between. Please keep making more cute movies like this!! Rom coms are scarce and I loved this!

After years of the same "girl meets boy during the holidays in New York or New England" movies, Merry Kiss Cam comes along and breaks the mold. It is such a gift to see a movie filmed in the beautiful northern Minnesota city of Duluth. Rarely does a movie combine themes that will interest both men and women, but then along comes a gem combining art and hockey with a cute cast and fun story. The fascinating part of the movie for me centers around the temperate climate and friendly nature of Minnesota, something I was not aware of before watching this movie. I would highly recommend this movie to everyone and feel it may inspire many to visit Duluth next holiday season!

Finally one of these movies when two adults actually choose to date like adults instead of just running into each other around town and pretending they don't know what kissing is. Barely a Christmas movie but who cares? I've seen enough stages tree lightings to last three lifetimes. Chemistry between the leads was on fire. More please! At this point I just have to fill space but if you are still reading, you should know I also liked the hockey element, the Nick Miller vibes on Jesse Bradford, the leading lady having her own look instead of the same generic hair and clothes the leading women's have on basic cable.

This movie was so boring, was falling asleep, really a kiss makes a hockey game win come on, don't get me wrong, I like hockey, but it was so predictable to, of course she was gonna show up at the end to the game, and why does every Christmas movie they have to fall in love, what if they don't, what's gonna happen, the Christmas cops come to arrest them, the only thing good about this movie was the dog was cute and the uncle was a nice guy. The main characters of the movie were good but they need to start switching up christmas movies it doesn't need to be all fairytale endings they can be less cliche.
