“To Have and to Holiday is another of the Hallmark movies this year featuring a cast of people who are virtually unknown to me. With the exception of the lead actressu0026#39; parents, Iu0026#39;m not sure Iu0026#39;ve seen any of them before.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThat said, the acting was better than a lot of movies you see this time of year.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMadeleine Arthur and Robert Bazzochi are excellent as a young couple who become engaged after dating briefly, prompting her father, who is also a pastor, to insist on putting them through his marriage boot camp in order to gauge their compatibility.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWeu0026#39;ve seen these things before, even this year, and this part of the movie didnu0026#39;t really work.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFortunately, there was enough of a plot to make it worth a watch.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eArthur is cute and sweet and pretty, and has excellent chemistry with Bazzochi, and both turned in strong performances as the young couple navigating issue after issue on the way to the altar.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWeu0026#39;ll be seeing them again.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThereu0026#39;s a million choices at Christmas time. This is not great, but there are worse choices.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSix.”
