Not worth it
The story was all over the place. There was no chemistry between the leads. The most appealing part of the movie was the teenage daughter, played by Madeline Grace, but her voice is good, not outstanding. Same with Jamie Luner.I really hated Brad. So why did Rachel keep giving him hope? He proved himself to be a jerk more than once. The worst of it is, he wouldn’t take no for an answer because he didn’t think she meant it. And how did they ever get together in the first place? Brad didn’t become a total jerk overnight – he’s been that way for a long time.
Brad’s isn’t the only bad behavior by males. The boys laughing during rehearsal deserved a far worse rebuke than “stop laughing”. Rachel’s dad is no gem either although his bad behavior is a little restrained.
A down to earth feel to this one…
I was pleasantly surprised with The Christmas High Note. The story is quite basic. There are no beautiful castles, picturesque landscapes, cross-country adventures, (time traveling) Christmas carousels, or wishing trees in this one. Rather, it had a down to earth feel to it, which I enjoyed. At the center of the story is Rachel (played by Jamie Luner), who, after being stood up by her boyfriend Brad, meets Michael (our other protagonist in this story, played by Johnny Messner) and his teenage daughter Sophie (played by Madeline Grace). Sophie, who dreams of a singing career, is having some difficulties with her solo for the upcoming Christmas pageant. Rachel, who gives singing and piano lessons, offers to coach Sophie for her big performance. Through this connection, Rachel soon discovers a new romantic interest in Sophie’s dad, Michael. What the writers do well in this one are the dialogue and interactions between Sophie and her father (and Rachel and her father), and Michael and his sister Emma (played by Kassandra Clementi). There was an authentic feel to the family dynamics, I felt. What made this work, of course, was the acting. Overall, I thought it was pretty good, strong even, at times. I have not seen Jamie Luner since Melrose Place in the 90s, so I was unsure what to expect. She had a good performance, I thought. There were some nice dialogue and interactions with her father (played by William Katt, he was great, by the way). Johnny Messner too had a very good performance. Indeed, his interactions with his daughter and sister were quite convincing and lovely to watch. A good example of this was the scene the morning after Michael and Rachel’s first kiss: the dialogue and exchanges between him and his daughter, then him and his sister were fun and cute (and they felt real). The chemistry between the two (Rachel and Michael) was decent. It started strong, I felt, but faded in the latter half of the film, and the final kiss was unfortunate, I’m afraid. The supporting cast was great. Kassandra Clementi (playing Emma, the sister) was impressive. She had this cute and caring vibe to her performance, which worked great on screen, I thought. Madeline Grace also had a good performance. Again, some good interactions and exchanges with her father in the story. All in all, it is a decent Christmas movie, not as refined as some of the other movies this season, but it did have an authentic feel to it, which is a plus.
