Very disappointing...

Expected more

Beautiful, moving film.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

If you want something deep or more interesting plot this movie is not that kind of movie, because this movie is not for everyone, But if you want something lighthearted and kind of kooky this would be it. The movie plot is predictable as all other movies out there, and wile there wasn't any twist to this movie besides the antagonist starting to date with the Cassie's lazy and weird brother, I was amused and entertained enough to sit through all the movie. This movie definitely had some quirky and cringe scenes which for some reason I found thoroughly endearing.

Greg Evigan will always be the dude from "BJ and the Bear". That was a TV series that was a ripoff of "Smokey and the Bandit". His TV Legacy continued with the "My Two Dads". Not exactly the best television shows ever made. If those shows were not bad enough he was able to get his daughters Vanessa and Briana in the business. Luckily in this film we get the more talented daughter Briana but they should of cast Vanessa. In this film a Hollywood film comes to a small town and the big star of the film sweeps a local baker off her feet. Then when things start moving along the movie stars ex-girlfriend gets cast in his film and she is out to get him back at any cost.One major gripe I also have about this film is the fact it is not really "A Christmas Theme" film. I have a feeling it wasn't originally set during the holidays. There is no "Christmas Feeling" at all to this production.There is plenty of things to like about this film however the last 20 minutes and the final scene is stupid. Briana is great but she deserves a better role. If your looking forward to watching a "Christmas Theme" film skip this . If you are looking for something good skip this. CSPAN has more more entering moments than this film

Notting HIll revolves around the greatest female Hollywood star taking a year to court a nondescript, no life, small business owner in an out of the way location spending free time with humorous comic plot nutcases. A Star For Christmas revolves around the greatest male Hollywood star taking just the Christmas seaon to court a nondescript, no life, small business owner in an out of the way location spending free time with humorous comic plot nutcases. It lacks the across the board famous performers in even secondary roles punch of Notting Hill but has a charm that works and comes across in the edited print. There seems an excessive number of relatively unfamiliar male performers cast as cheesecake eye candy poseurs which can be ignored by filmgoers watching the movie for something else and a hook for filmgoers wanting to check them out. So many of the characters have similarities to the Notting Hill cast one might accidentally predict the next screwball twist which is supposed to be unexpected in screwball comedy by remembering what happened next to the parallel cast member in Notting Hill.

My wife and I settled in to an evening of watching holiday movies on the ION network and this one came on. It was filmed in several southern California locations, approximating a small town setting.Cute Briana Evigan, about 25 during filming, is Cassie who owns a cupcake shop in town. All the locals know she makes the best cupcakes ever, but unexpectedly a couple of strangers come in and they are impressed also. So impressed that they want her to supply their crew with her baked goods while they are in town filming a Christmas-themed movie.One of the guys, and the star of the action movie, is Corey Sevier as Alex. Cassie and her friend are so small-town that they didn't at first realize he was a popular movie star. But gradually Cassie and Alex fall for each other.The budding romance is complicated by two things ... Cassie's old boyfriend, with whom she has joint custody of their dog, is trying to get back together with her. Also, Alex's former girlfriend, who is in the movie they are filming, is trying to get back with him. Both of these issues, plus Cassie's small-town sensibilities, cause a number of fits and starts, but we all know how it will turn out in the end! A pleasant rom-com, particularly for Briana Evigan who is as cute and perky as can be.
