A Christmas Masquerade (TV Movie 2022)

A Christmas Masquerade (TV Movie 2022). A Christmas Masquerade: Directed by Michelle Ouellet. With Erin Agostino, Marcia Bennett, Darlene Cooke, David Lafontaine. When she is mistaken for her boss at a Masquerade ball by a businessman, she continues the ruse over Christmas. Her mission is to secure him as a client. When his own motivations are revealed, they both realize, it just might be love.

“The premise of impersonating the boss isnu0026#39;t that common to begin with, but this movie goes a step further because the viewer knows from the start that the boss fully supports it and even volunteers to babysit for the duration of the switch. The result is that this premise becomes more like the twin identity swap.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe dynamics between Julianne and Lara are a bit weird. The real Julianne acts more like the boss than the real Lara, who is the boss.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere is some fun in all the antics related to keeping the real identities secret. The dialogue and acting are both good.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eErin Agostino is an elegantly beautiful woman and the director takes great advantage of that. She is nothing like the financially struggling assistant you might expect in this type of story. When she attends a high end social function, she definitely looks the part.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMichael, the wannabe ambassador settles down quickly from the playboy persona and afterwards David Lafontaine has some good chemistry with Agostino.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThereu0026#39;s all the usual u0026quot;do you like heru0026quot;, u0026quot;weu0026#39;re just friendsu0026quot;, and u0026quot;thereu0026#39;s something I need to tell youu0026quot; which gets interrupted, but the viewer knows there is going to be a conflict, although itu0026#39;s not certain how that will unfold. It is quite effective and believable, at least as much as anything in this story.”
