Christmas at the Chalet

I like it. The motives are few , a love story film offering the steps of real mature people being not only rare but more attractive . And Teri Hatcher did a beautiful job as Lexi, like William deVry. A real good point for Patty Alan, in same measure. It is just a seductive film about options, illusions, choices and something easy - not spo correct- defined as life lessons. A film about comunication, need of love and truths changing, in profound sense, everything. Temptiing to define it as special. In fact, a confirmation for 50 years age audience of basic, lived and strong realities and way to accept they in real sense.

As much as I've enjoyed many an under 35s movie, there just aren't enough flicks that portray/celebrate the middle years - something like 'Christmas at the Chalet' is much more rewatchable because I won't grow out of it like the others. This has a good mix of the past, the present and digital worlds, showing how they can compliment each other if we don't get obsessed the first and last. Likewise it is good to complete the mundane with a little bit of sparkle. Co-incidentally I'd just watched another Teri Hatcher / Dan Payne romance flick so it was weird seeing them at odds here, but also backed up the premise that they once were an item.

I really enjoyed this Christmas movie on LIfetime. Teri Hatcher is so funny and she is still so beautiful. The entire cast did a great job on this show. I thought that the story was creative and really enjoyed that it was set in todays time with the live videos and social media. I laughed out loud several times, mainly because of Terri. She is perfect for CHristmas movies and I hope that she does more to come. As an avid christmas movie watcher for the past 40 years, I found this one to stand up high to all the others that are played on the different channels. Also, the girls working at the chalet were wonderful actresses that are talented and were great assets to the show. Thank you!

Christmas At The Chalet (2023) - Well, Teri Hatcher got around a bit this year didn't she? This was the third film I'd seen her in and actually she has been growing on me having initially found her to be quite unappealing as Lois Lane* all those years ago. There was no way that the room she was given as her character Lex would ever have been meant for a member of staff though. In his role of Eric, William Devry was actually far more handsome than he looked in the main picture and I liked his delivery as a sensible, softer and calmer than normal leading man, but I personally would have taken Dan Payne any way I could. He seems to be trying on a few different women this year too! Including Teri in 'How To Fall In Love By Christmas' (2023. I'm glad they didn't make him out to be a total @sshat though, because although his character was a player and not really included in the film to be liked, he wasn't the usual caricature of a sleaze and there was potential for him to be redeemed. Once again it was nice to see a more mature cast in a romantic storyline, because at the age of 43 with very few relationships under my belt, it certainly helped to give me hope thar my Mr Right is still out there somewhere. I thought that it was a great story to show that older doesn't mean dead and that people over 40 can still be useful and attractive. I liked the humour in the film, because it was subtle, it wasn't the typical outrageous and daft escapades that some others have been. I didn't even mind that Lex was so constantly cheerful. Teri's face must have ached from smiling so much. I also enjoyed the soundtrack, but George (Brendan McRae), the son had some terrible jumpers, so perhaps the wardrobe team needed to calm down a bit. I'm almost looking forward to seeing this one again, because it was enjoyable and made me smile. 8.78/10. *Lois & Clark: The New Adventures Of Superman (1993-7).

Christmas at the Chalet is a lovely story, middle-aged single mom, energetic career goals, adaptable to any and all situations, looking good for her age, but, oh, my..all that said...someone forgot to catch the hairdresser before the filming. Never have I seen a lovely actress like Teri Hatcher so poorly groomed as this poor soul was in this fun movie. Her hair distracted this viewer in every single scene, except when it was covered up by a ski cap. Perhaps one needs to be more in tune with the current fashions and looks. But for this loyal Hallmark fan, Teri Hatcher deserved a great deal better look than the one she was given in this film..Strands and strands of messy hair, flying in all directions, distracting from her beautiful face, her winning smile, her expressive eyes. Hallmark heroines deserve better than this lovely woman got in this sweet film..Sorry..if you watch this movie, try to ignore the distracting hair. Focus on the beautiful setting, the sweet people, the emotional story.

Okay one to watch. I do love Teri Hatcher and she was fun to watch. Typical characters. Worldly French mother, spoiled rich son, obnoxious ex hubby. The scenery was absolutely stunning. Quite amazing how a mother and son along with a couple chalet girls run that whole place. And that "suite" in the staff quarters!!! Looked better than her ex hubby's room! I do have one burning question. How does one fit 5 different complete color coordinated ski outfits into that one small suitcase she brought with her? And a plethora of sweaters and dresses too. She needed to do a video on how to pack a suitcase in the show. 🤣

Good movie!

Good movie!

Teri Hatcher was fabulous. Material was not the best but she did a terrific job. Her lead actor not so good. Mother of the son was very good and brought warmth to the role. Lifetime should def do more rob coms and def use Teri Hatcher. She is a great comedic actress The surrounding cast was fine but not to much to do. My biggest criticism is the amount of commercials. It ruined the flow of the movie. The x husband was fine should have given him more to do the hotel atmosphere was a great backdrop. Reminded me of that fabulous series hotel with Connie Selleca. All in all a very nice Xmas movie without all the Xmas fluff.
