Christmas on the Vine (TV Movie 2020)

Christmas on the Vine: Directed by Paul A. Kaufman. With Julianna Guill, Jon Cor, Meredith Baxter, Chilton Crane. A young marketing executive is assigned to help a struggling family-owned winery in a town that has lost its Christmas spirit due to a large wine conglomerate.

“This is another save-the-family-______(winery) plot and a consultant is sent to help. An evil big corporation is swallowing up all the land in the area. There are no real highs or lows or big surprises. The climatic conflict was created in a little bit of a surprising way. I thought it was out of character, but maybe understandable. The very end is abrupt with a change of heart coming on what seemed like a whim.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFor me the enjoyment was the cheerful Julianna Guill. She and Jon Cor had good chemistry, but I think that was thanks mostly to Guill. The movie gives the leads plenty of screen time together. Guill seems to be in practically every scene and a lot of them with Cor. I wasnu0026#39;t as impressed with Coru0026#39;s acting. All the supporting actors turned in decent performances.”
