Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
phd_travel There are some Christmas movies that you ask why did they bother to make another one? This one just has nothing new to say. Waiting for something different to happen or something to distinguish it from the others but nothing came. A rich girl goes incognito in a small town and doesn't really learn too much of a lesson. The romance is unconvincing. I didn't care whether they ended up together or not. The pseudo drama was silly - why should he care so much about her not wanting to flaunt her wealth.Nice to watch Andie MacDowell in anything. She has aged gracefully and I think she sings a bit too.
nadinesalakovv I decided to watch this on Netflix simply because i couldn't find anything else to watch. This "Christmas Inheritance" is something that we've all seen a trillion times before, this film is similar to those Christmas TV lifetime movies except this film is a little better made.The performances are good, but the plot is cliched and predictable. As a Christian i can easily see a lot of Godly positive factors in this movie, it's a nice film, but it is not very entertaining. If you like these type of common story lines then you will like this movie.There is a negative element which i want to mention which is the biased view of small towns being good and big cities being negative, a comment was made in a piece of dialogue about why a particular character left New York, it's a generalisation, and as someone who lives in a city i can see why city life and city people can be seen as a negative, but at the same time i lived in a small town for a few months and not everyone was friendly there, so i don't buy everything that this movie was trying to feed me.Christmas Inheritance is predictable from the start and especially when the main female lead meets the male lead as soon as she arrives in that small town. To be honest i was hoping that she would stay with the black guy/her fiance, all he needed was a little bit of an attitude adjustment, or the film should have at least made the ending different by having her go back to New York without the fiance and just having a change of heart in general, that would have actually been better than going back to the small town with the romance cliched ending. This film is too safe, Netflix writers need to step up their game, Netflix are either making unwatchable dark films or films that are too common.Christmas Inheritance is just about watchable, and i say "just about" because it doesn't have any exciting or fun elements.
carrona Don't get me wrong. In many ways this movie ticks all the boxes when it comes to formulaic cheesiness. Is there an attractive, secretly wealthy boy/ or girl who's working undercover (to learn about themselves and/or learn how to take over the family's company or kingdom as part of an inheritance and/or experience the real world)? Yes!Does the action take place in a small, wholesome, cosy little town and/or palace in some East European-ovia country? Yes!Is the object of their attraction a pretty or handsome-yet-ordinary person with a heart of gold? Yes! Is one of them due to get married to/in a relationship with, someone they don't really love? Yes! Is there a late-in-the-day 'misunderstanding' between the romantic leads - which has to be resolved before they finally realize they're meant for each other? Yup.All's well and good in this movie, except for one thing. I'm sure the male lead is a lovely person in real life but he's mis-cast. For these type of movies to work, BOTH leads need to be attractive. Even attractive and quirky is okay.The girl is beautiful and adorable. Too bad the male lead in "Christmas Inheritance" ain't no HUNK. He's just downright goofy looking.......and not in a unconventional, fanciable way.For that reason alone, sadly it's a FAIL from me!
JShaft33 I don't understand who a town with one taxi and no cell service has a college? Also - a blizzard forces people to evacuate yet a short time later the roads are clear and the weather is calm as if nothing happened?I'm okay with some imagination but you can't expect me to suspend all of my belief.
