And many of the negative things other reviewers have said about this movie are at least partially true, but I think they are over emphasized.

The meet cute is easily the highlight of “Merry & Bright.” When Gabe tells Cate “I’m your guy,” “your problems are over,” and “I’m your last chance to turn your ship around,” she thinks he means from a romantic perspective. But, as we already know, he’s talking business. This was one of the more inspired and cutest meet cutes we’ve seen in a while....
Very Festive Visuals
Much like “Two Turtle Doves”, “Merry & Bright” had the perfect amount of Christmas in every scene. Nothing was too over the top and quite a few scenes were visually stunning. The only brief moment that failed to look Christmasy was when they went to an overhead shot of a street that looked like the same street we’ve seen in plenty of other Christmas movies – the one that usually had zig-zag Christmas lights. But in this scene, it was just dark. One great detail throughout the movie was the us...
You’ll Laugh…
1. At how clueless Pete is about proposing to Sophie. 2. At the interactions between Joy and the dog, especially when she tries to keep the dog a secret to surprise Cate with on Christmas as a present. In one scene, she acts super suspicious, keeping Cate out of her house, even shutting the door in her face a couple of times. And again when she tries to conceal the dog in a bag during the tree lighting. All of the scenes with the mom and dog were super cute, and were some of our favorites.
A Christmas Connection
It was a nice touch that Gabe and Cate had in interesting connection and made us wonder if there is something more to the story. When Cate was a kid, she had a poster of the New York skyline in her room (where Gabe is from). And when Gabe was a kid, he had a painting of a barn that looked like it was painted by his father in Britewell (where Cate is from).
Not Enough Christmas Music
The opening credits featured a carol. But beyond that, we didn’t hear much else in the way of Christmas music. Just imagine if this movie could have equaled the great visuals with some equally great sounds?
Not Your Typical Hallmark Ending
The proposal at the end wasn’t all that awesome. A ring box in a bag? Why have Gabe propose that way rather than doing something more meaningful at a place that is more meaningful. Like, maybe, in the place they met? Or even shared their first kiss? Also, not that it was necessarily a bad thing, but it was interesting that Gabe and Cate didn’t have an almost kiss – and the moment-killer came afterward. Maybe Hallmark is trying to get away from some of the typical Christmas movie checklist sta...
Your Christmas Event Ad Here
The whole green-screening of billboards on the side of the barn was pretty weird and obvious. First, there was the billboard for the tree lighting. Then it became the jubilee. And they looked exactly the same. Pretty elaborate (and expensive) for a small town to pull off so quickly. They even had the signs for both of those event at the inn in Gabe’s room – and you could just by looking that it was done with a green-screen. They weren’t legit signs or billboards.
Talk Business to Me
There was a lot of business talk in this one. Cutbacks. Business models. Revenue streams. Pitching an investor. Most if failed to be very interesting or Christmasy. Also, at times it felt like you had gone on a tour at a factory, getting the whole history of the company. This movie could have benefited from more of a focus on Christmas feels than business.
