Such a snooze. I turned it off half way through. I applaud the successful lead Black people, but they look like they landed in whiteville. I expect cheese from Hallmark but this was painful.

Hallmark Christmas films do have a tendency more often than not to be very predictable, cliched, very cheesy, too schmaltzy and over-scored, the worst of them also contrived and unrealistic. There have been many times where they have also been very cute, warm hearted, heartfelt, charming and appealingly acted. Really did want for 'Christmas Everlasting' to be all of those latter adjectives, as Hallmark have shown quite a number of times that they can make watchable films. 'Christmas Everlasting' is one of those watchable films. Actually thought that it was quite decent, it was far from perfect and didn't bowl me over but to me there was a lot that was good. Am another person who appreciated the diversity, not that not having any would have been an issue and really shouldn't be an issue when critiquing films and television, and it was brave for 'Christmas Everlasting' to have a death during the film which is rare for Hallmark (known for films that generally aim to have a feel good element). It does have its issues. It does lag in the pace in the middle act where the storytelling is slight in spots. Some of the final act is on the contrived and over the top side. Do agree that Patti LaBelle doesn't register very well in the film. She comes over as too hammy, which jars with the tone of the rest of the film, and she and the characters felt out of place. Much in 'Christmas Everlasting' is good. The production values still manage to be great. It's not too drab or garish in photography, the editing didn't seem rushed or disorganised and the scenery has a real charm to it. Often have found the music a problem in Hallmark Christmas films, but 'Christmas Everlasting' is one of the few times where it not only has not been a problem but actually one of the best things about it. One cannot go wrong with a healthy amount of the great Nat King Cole. The script didn't come over as corny to me and had genuine emotional impact. Personally did not think that it was too syrupy. The story is not as predictable as most Hallmark films and for a Hallmark Christmas film it was actually different with a more serious subject matter. One that is executed with poignancy and honesty, without being mawkish. The ending is poignant and is not as pat as most Hallmark Christmas film endings. Mostly the characters were written fine, with a very relatable female lead character. The acting is on the most part fine too, Tatyna Ali's performance is very moving. Bottom line, decent with the best assets being very good but there was room for improvement. 7/10.

Totally predictable but watchable under the right circumstances. All performances average; Tatyana Ali sometimes rising slightly above.

This movie is way too Syrupy even for Hallmark! The story line is lacking and unrealistic, acting is over the top and bad! I do not recommend and Hallmark should employe new writers!

Such a good movie. Sweet and touching like you would expect from a Hallmark movie. It does have a similar formula but with a different twist. Anyone who doesn't love this movie has a heart of coal!

Finally Hallmark has put a person of color in a leading role. Unfortunately, it made the deceased sister an unwed mother which I have never seen in a Hallmark movie with a white lead character. And, of course, the supportive friends were all white. Racism much? The story was a tiny bit better than most of the schlock that Hallmark pumps out in their endless stream of Christmas movies. Of course, the two lead characters fall in love which is no surprise to anyone. I didn't see much chemistry between them but they were pleasant enough. I didn't hate it, I didn't love it but at least they didn't use the same industrial strength curling iron to create identical hairstyles on every female. I just wish Hallmark would come up with one new, innovative idea. The same old recycled plots gets old fast. Loved the deep voiced uncle who stars in auto insurance commercials! I could listen to him all day long!

Review Date 7/14/2019 I have Reviewed OVER 500 "Christmas Films, & Christmas Television Movies , & Television Specials". Please BEWARE Of films and specials with just one review! For instance When "It's a POSITIVE" chances are that the reviewer was involved with the production. "If its Negative" then they may have a grudge against the film for whatever reason. I am fare. I am on a mission to watch every Christmas Movie ever produced. Since 2014 I average 100 a year. I am not sure who is picking the material for Tatyana Ali but this is the 2nd Christmas theme film I have seen her in and both were way above average. In this story Tatyana Ali plays a big city new York lawyer who must return to her home town for her sisters funeral. In order for her to inherit the family home she must live in it for a week. This film is better than you expect. I don't want to give anything more away but trust me its a winner!

Rarely does a Hallmark Christmas movie involve a death that occurs during the course of the movie. Usually, the viewer is told that grandma or dad died last month or last year or whenever. But here, the death is an intricate part of the plot line and it is done in a manner that is quite interesting. The actors play their roles intelligently and realistically, particularly Ali who delivers a sincere, emotive, and multi-faceted performance.The only distraction is Patti LaBelle, but that doesn't happen until the last half hour of the movie. In a small role with only a couple of scenes, the part was obviously given to her because of her name value and not any acting talent. She adds nothing to the story and, when she walks into the dining room carrying the big Christmas ham, you think, "Oh look - there's the ham carrying the ham !" Otherwise, the dialogue is well-written, the story is rather unique for Hallmark, the sets are attractive, and the main cast carries the movie off very effectively.

This movie stinks! The acting is horrible and the script is pathetic! Hallmark should be ashamed!
