-after a selection of this year’s holiday-themed romantic movies to watch from the comfort of your own home
Story
Alana Higman, a die-hard Kansas City Chiefs fan, and her family are competing to win Fan of the Year, in a process judged by Director of Fan Engagement, Derrick. The movie was filmed on the historic Independence Square location in Independence, Missouri, which actually looks like it all year round. The locations that served as the Higman family’s store and Norma and Nick’s BBQ restaurant are real-life family-owned businesses.
But I’m sorry, that was a mistake
The square also has a Christmas light display like the one in the movie. Well…I’m a Chiefs fan; I’m a Hunter King fan and I’m a Tyler Hines fan. I wish I could stop here, but unfortunately, I have to elaborate.
They really nailed it
If you’re not a Chiefs fan, I don’t know how you got to the end of a movie like this. I didn’t find the chemistry between Hines and King very strong at all. The writing was so-so, and the overall plot was a little weird.
I wish I had better things to say
I liked the supporting cast, and Ed Begley, Jr. was pretty good as the old man who was dazed. I thought it was interesting that there was a scene where the entire family was hammered in a Hallmark movie.
