Christmas CEO

Good movie!

Girl has dream. Girl almost realises dream. Guys says dream is wrong. Girl gives it up. Actors did a pretty good job making it almost watch able but definitely crossing this one off my Christmas list.

Christmas CEO is one of my new favorite Christmas movies!!! The movie stars Paul Greene and Marisol Nichols, who have such amazing chemistry together!! I really enjoyed their onscreen banter as it made for a sweet and fun holiday movie! The story was original with some comedy, fun and lots of love! The backdrop of this movie is to raise awareness (and donations) for Toys for Tots. Throughout the movie's premiere, Hallmark encouraged donations to the important cause which I really admired. Paul Greene is such a wonderful actor, he is definitely my favorite on Hallmark and I love seeing him in a new Christmas movie this year (2021). I'd love to see Paul in more Hallmark movies in the upcoming year!! He does so much off screen, consistently fundraising to help different charities and is always giving back. Give us more Greene in the screen!

Favorite scene with Christmas "Chris" Winnacker (Marisol Nichols) - Roller Skating with Joe and Emma, Singing "Jingle Bells", and falling on top of Joe. BTW, I Loved this movie!

I don't review often but this show was horrible. I gave it 2 stars because Paul and Marisol did the best they could with it. 2 people start a Company together. They split because he can't understand why a Company can't make toys that lose them money and has no concept of a business needing to make money to stay in business. He loves her but only if she ignores the business side of her that gets it. In the end, she denies a merger to make the Company more successful. I get that one, more work - no. She also gives up the successful Company that she already runs to start a new business with him, his way. Apparently, we are to believe that she has the sole say in the decision to merge Companies but 0 say in the toys made at the Company she already owns and runs (that she Quality approves). There was no compromise or balance found. The main character gives herself and her life up completely to be with a man who refused to see outside of his view of what she should be. I'm not a fan of the over reaching Me Too movement but this show was garbage.

I really look forward to Hallmark's Holiday movies every year, I was excited when I saw some of the previews. So far I've really enjoyed Kiss Before Christmas with James Denton and also Christmas CEO with Paul Greene. This movie also costars Marisol Nichols who some may know from Riverdale or the recent Spiral/Saw movie. The story is about two childhood friends who started a toy business together, who then grow up to become adults. Who seem to have a different idea of how their toy business should be run. This story is about how the two friends reunite and a holiday romance may ensue in the process! There is also a young actress who plays Marisol's niece who sings and is very talented! Give this movie a watch if you like either of these actors, great heartwarming family film.

I don't know if it was the actor, Paul Greene, the writers or the director, but i found his character very unlikeable. Paul was stiff and unrefined. His character was narcissistic and crude. The other characters gave good performances and were the only reason i finished the movie. Marisol Nichols was especially good. The ending was unrealistic & unsatisfying.

The writing in this one was just plain awful. I agree with other reviewers. Who thought this drivel was romantic? The female lead gives up all her dreams to make a very unlikeable male lead happy. This movie made no sense. In the real world, a successful woman would have walked away from that guy after the first conversation where he berated her for being ambitious and put her down for working to make their company - that he walked away from - successful. His character came of as a pompous jerk who resented her drive and work ethic. Why would the female lead be drawn to that guy? He seemed to have no ambition at all, just delusions of grandeur. She deserved better. Not worth watching.

Hallmark, the 1950s are calling and they want their movies back. This is the second Hallmark Christmas movie where the man is always right and the female gives up everything she's worked for just to please him. She tells herself she's wanted it all along but at no point in the movie does she give any indication that she's doubting herself and her drive for success. They wasted a great cast on a lousy and boring storyline.

The only thing she's ever wanted in her life - to be CEO of a toy company... THEN why does she basically give it up for a guy? Hallmark - you missed the mark on this one. Casting was off too. Paul Greene's character was annoying and he was kind of a jerk. Not a good look for the "nice guy of Hallmark movies." Marisol Nichols was too tentative to be a CEO of ANYTHING. The niece was good though...LOL.
