AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

idozah A good movie. I absolutely love Paul Greene, he is the perfect and my favorite lead in Hallmark movies. Candace is the queen of Hallmark movies ( along with another few ladies tho) and here she was so annoying but in a good way. Her boyfriend was a big douche, The only thing that I didn't liked in the movie was a part when the leads kissed even though she didn't break up with her boyfriend , and that was cheating and I didn't like it that much. I saw the movie two times, it's fun to watch

nadinesalakovv This Christmas movie currently available on Netflix is your regular Christmas cliched predictable TV Movie. What can i say, once you've seen one of these, you've seen them all. I don't know anything about romantic relationships, but i suspect that this is not how people are in reality. I guess the writers wanted to make a soppy Christmas romance flick. "A Christmas Detour" isn't very entertaining, but it does have a slightly interesting element, once you start watching you'll want to try and make it till the end just to satisfy a little bit of curiosity to find out what happens, but this film is so cliched - you will have already guessed the ending just by reading a few lines of the main plot.

wjorg There is nothing really believable about any of the characters created in this film, or if there is, they are all intentionally shallow. Why a film is made with such lack of depth is beyond me, and why the film has such a high rating is equally baffling. The genre is listed as "Comedy", and one of the important parts within the film is humour, but very seldom do the characters laugh. I certainly found myself without any laughter, but just pity for most of the roles the actors were playing. The film could have provided some excitement with winter driving conditions, and trudging through the snow after an incident, but that was omitted. There are however, some nice Christmas scenes throughout. This movie appears to be geared for and aimed at a 10 year old. 2/10 for scenery.

utgard14 Candace Cameron Bure plays a writer who believes in vision boards and soulmates. She's engaged to a stuffy, insipid man and is supposed to meet his equally stuffy parents for the first time on Christmas. But bad weather stands in the way of her plans so she's forced to share a ride with a bickering married couple and a handsome bartender (Paul Greene) down on love. Along the way sparks fly, proving once again that opposites always attract in TV romcoms.It's never a bad thing to see Candace Cameron Bure in a Christmas movie, even if she is playing a more obnoxious character than usual. It took me awhile to like the character as she's pretty much the exact type of person I try to avoid in my life. Eventually they do flesh her out a little and you grow to care about her some. I still wasn't completely enamored with her by the end. Which is saying a lot since I adore Candace and will sit through just about anything to watch her. For his part, Paul Greene is a step above the usual bland male lead these things tend to have. He's got a lot of charisma (and knows it), straddling that fine line between charming and cocky at all times. Candace and Paul have a nice chemistry together but, as fun as these two are, the real highlight of the movie is Sarah Strange and David Lewis as the married couple. They prove you don't have to have movie star good looks to be a compelling romcom relationship. In a perfect world actors like this could be the stars of the movie. As it is, we have to settle for them as supporting players who steal the spotlight. The guy playing Candace's fiancé and the actors playing his parents also do an admirable job with cardboard roles. I'm sure it wasn't easy.Candace rarely disappoints with her TV movies. This one isn't among my favorites of hers but it is very enjoyable, despite a few flaws. It's predictable (as these things always are) but it does what it does well. If you're looking for a pleasant way to pass the time on a lazy Saturday afternoon, you could do a lot worse.
