A Hollywood Christmas Review

A Hollywood Christmas is one of those movies that had potential, but ultimately fell very short. And while I don't typically like to blame actors, for this movie it was tough to watch because of certain actors. When there is a voice that you just can't listen to, it makes it really hard to watch.

The Verdict: Skip. There's really no reason to watch this movie. I don't mean to be harsh, but there are just too many good movies out there to waste time on mediocre ones. In fact, if you're looking for a better 2022 Christmas movie to watch on HBO, then go with Holiday Harmony.

Holiday Harmony has a great cast, including Brooke Shields. And, small time charm mixed with wonderful music. So when you're looking for a Christmas movie to fill your holiday with cheer, skip A Hollywood Christmas and move on to Holiday Harmony instead.
