Hometown Holiday (TV Movie 2018)

Hometown Holiday: Directed by Justin G. Dyck. With Sarah Troyer, Bradley Hamilton, Kevin McGarry, Samantha Gracie. Krista is starting this New Year with a new business and a resolution to be more selective with who she dates. When Krista meets Ryan Rourke, an entertainment lawyer from LA, the two really hit it off. Ryan is in her hometown to sign a local rancher turned viral signing sensation as his new client. Now with Krista also in Rust Creek, maybe there is more of a reason to stick around. Both are holding onto things from their past and are forced to make some decisions if they truly want to be together.

“This review is just my personal view but …u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHow old is Bradley Hamilton?! He is certainly very good looking but he looks and behaves like he should be in high school (albeit he would be the cool high school kid). And we are supposed to believe his character, Ryan, is a high powered lawyer? He has the confidence level of a snail. He is so useless at his job that his hysterical pregnant sister has to have a public meltdown with Wes to help Ryanu0026#39;s career along. And we are supposed to believe that this Ryan character is on track to make partner? He doesnu0026#39;t look like he can tie his shoelaces without his sisteru0026#39;s help! As much as we love sappy love stories, some things are too much of a stretch even for us!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWatching Ryan and Krista on their courtship journey was really uncomfortable because they both look underage and Sarah Troyer is a beautiful woman who should try smiling less because after some time, it is annoying and unreal. Her character is forward and she has no problem walking up to a stranger and asking him to dance which is fine but then she complains that the guy in her shower (!) was trying to be too forward? Canu0026#39;t be both sides of the coin gal.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAlso, why wear heels she then had to take off to dance which for her was shifting her body weight from her left leg to the right leg – that wasnu0026#39;t charming, it was ridiculous. Wear heels only if you can actually wear heels.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRyan tells her of his tragic childhood and her response is u0026quot;Wow thatu0026#39;s deep.u0026quot; Seriously?! She is simpering and a pretty awful actress who delivers her lines unconvincingly.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAshleyu0026#39;s crush on Wes is not real and pretty stupid. They havenu0026#39;t spoken since high school and I get that they barely spoke even back then! At the party, Wes comes up to Ashley to talk to her and she just stands there dreamy eyed and doesnu0026#39;t say a word. Of course they are in love right? No!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eKrista and Ryanu0026#39;s relationship is also absurd … they went on one (barely) date and she is already tagging him as u0026quot;the oneu0026quot; – what kind of ridiculous thinking is that?? She knew so little about him that she didnu0026#39;t even know he is a lawyer. Girls, can you please both up your understanding of what it is to be in a relationship and stop with your childish notions which will only end in divorce! I donu0026#39;t think any family member would encourage a wedding proposal after their brother has gone only on 2 dates with a girl. Mental. Of course then on the 3rd date, they quarrel over petty and jumped to conclusions. But by all means, please propose and get married.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt is really tragic that the real male leads in the show got relegated to support roles – Stephen Huszar and Kevin McGarry – both were totally wasted in this show. We want more of them please! I hope both get cast as the romantic leads in more shows whilst Bradley Hamilton is given time to grow up. He could be Batman or Superman in say 15 years.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eStephen Huszar and Kevin McGarry on the other hand are perfect. Very handsome, very charming and their swoon qualities are rocket high! Their acting range is also amazing. They both are completely convincing in whatever role they are given from detective/mounty to powerful rich CEOs to ranch owners.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eP.s how long was that poor woman pregnant for?? On Labour Day (ironic), she says she was 6 months preggers and in December she is STILL pregnant? That makes her FOURTEEN months pregnant and six months overdue!! NOBODY in the entire show realised this little fun fact?? And Ryan announced baby as coming two weeks early?? Hahahahaaaa hysterical!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe stars I have given are for Stephen Huszar and Kevin McGarry only.”
