Satisfy your happily ever after with this year’s lineup of romantic holiday-themed movies to watch from the comfort of your own home
Chronology
Alana Higman, a die-hard Kansas City Chiefs fan, and her family are competing to win the team’s Fan of the Year contest, in a process judged by Director of Fan Engagement Derrick.. The movie was filmed on location in the historic Independence Square in Independence, Missouri, which really does look like that all year round. The locations that served as the Higman family store and Norma and Nick’s BBQ restaurant are real-life businesses owned by the family, too.
But sorry, that was a dud
The square also has Christmas lights just like the ones in the movie.. Well… I’m a Chiefs fan; I’m a Hunter King fan and I’m a Tyler Hines fan. I wish I could stop there, but unfortunately, I have to elaborate.
They really overdid it
If you’re not a Chiefs fan, I don’t know how you get through the end of a movie like this. I didn’t think the chemistry between Hines and King was very strong. The writing was so-so, and the overall plot was a little odd.
was pretty good as the grumpy old man
I liked the supporting cast, and Ed Begley Jr. I thought it was interesting that there was a scene where the entire family was getting hammered with eggnog in a Hallmark movie. I wish I had better things to say.
