The Holiday Calendar Movie Download

5 / 10

This is far from a Christmas classic but is an entertaining viewing
The Holiday Calendar (2018) is a movie that I recently watched on Netflix and tells the tale of a young lady who received an advent calendar from her father. Her whole life she’s wanted to be a photographer but hasn’t been able to dedicate the time she wants to it. Each day the advent calendar gives her a hint of things to come that starts getting her excited about her future. When her best friend returns home as a successful photographer and tries to convince her he’s more than a friend she will need to pick the direction from the calendar or the direction of her heart…

This movie is directed by Bradley Walsh (Helix) and stars Kat Graham (How it Ends), Quincy Brown (Dope), Ethan Peck (In Time), Ron Cephas Jones (Across the Universe) and Rodrigo Fernandez-Stoll (The Exchange).

This is a fairly uneven movie with some aspects better than others. The acting, circumstances and character interactions were pretty good. The argument about the photos seemed forced and some of the elements seemed unrealistic. I did like the family dynamic and felt the film ended well.

Overall this is far from a Christmas classic but is an entertaining viewing. I would score this a 5/10 and recommend watching it once.Read More
