“Random Acts of Christmas” is basically a G-rated Christmas romance take on Batman. (In other words, it’s nothing like “Batman Returns”.) Playing the role of Bruce Wayne in “Random Acts of Christmas” is Colin Hauer (Kevin McGarry). Colin, like most filthy rich men in this world, made all his money from his vast Christmas decoration empire. But rath...
Our Favorite Scene
The Christmas shower – when the presents fall from the sky, on little parachutes. It was a unique visual if nothing else.
You’ll Laugh…
When Sydney sneaks into Hauer HQ, with the accompanying “I’m sneaking in” music. Plus, when Sydney sees Cole, with some quick thinking, she puts a poinsettia in front of her face so Cole won’t recognize her. That’s a professional investigative journalist!
Good Chemistry
We’re going to give them a pass on the fact that Colin lies to Sydney for pretty much the entire movie. OK. Despite that major flaw (which is hardly unique to Christmas romance movies), Sydney and Colin actually had some good chemistry. We liked them together. We would have liked it even more if we learned a bit more about Sydney. Beyond Sydney being a single mom and journalist, we never did learn all that much about her. Meanwhile, the movie did a fairly good job of filling in bits and piece...
Poinsettias in the Sky
OK, for the most part, the movie looked very Christmasy. The ornament shop was great and everything was decorated nicely. But there were a few exceptions. The poinsettias in the sky? Way over the top. We were wondering if everyone had dropped acid and was having a mass hallucination. Even worse was the skywriting of “Merry Christmas” at the end. It was SO fake-looking and cheesy. This was yet another case of “one scene too many”, which seems to be one of the big dissatisfying trends in 2019....
Forgive? Or Forget?
It was inevitable Sydney would find out about Cole/Colin/Secret Santa. And it was obvious she would find out before he could reveal it himself. Typical stuff for a Christmas romance, right? What was odd, though, was Sydney’s turnaround. If she was SO mad at him, why did she go right into positive coverage for him in her broadcast? We were almost expecting Sydney to reveal that Colin was the Secret Santa. Also odd: we never get an explanation as to why Sydney forgave Colin for keeping this mas...
That Daytime Christmas House Lighting
Why do they bother lighting Sydney’s house in the daytime, and then pretend it looks spectacular? You can barely see the lights because, you know, daytime. You know when lights look best? At night!
Cooperating Journalists? Really?
The whole idea of cooperating journalists was just a silly premise. Silent partner? Really? Sydney, a journalist, should have known something was fishy immediately. Maybe if she investigated Cole’s story and saw he never did anything journalistic, ever, anywhere. Just look at Sydney vs. Andy. They were competing for the story. No journalist would be like, “how about you take this one?” He could have at least pretended to be doing his job.
Cole Can’t Lift, Bro
The workout scene was just weird. He couldn’t even lift the weight. So he’s Batman, just with no upper body strength? What was the point of this scene?
You’ll Cringe…
At Oliver. So much bad. The yelling of lines. The overacting. The “yes mom” scene was the absolute worst.
