Bethany H I was surprised how much I loved this movie!! The advent calendar and the Christmas family traditions were so unique I'm going to try implementing them into my own family traditions this year! Overall, a very one-of-a-kind Christmas Movie I think more people should see! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/20/24 Full Review Leslie F There were certain parts of this I liked, and parts that I didn't like. Pros: The setting in Germany was a nice change from most of the Christmas Rom Coms that tend to be set in the US or UK. I liked the idea of the Christmas market and including a lot of family traditions, especially the German ones. I thought the actors did well, even if German accents fluctuated throughout. Nice and lighthearted, family friendly. I would be willing to put this on during a holiday party just for some Christmas ambiance. Cons: The bulk of the conflict in this movie revolves around the main characters unwillingness to pay for good reputable shipping, despite needing to ship extremely important and irreplaceable goods. This just doesn't seem realistic. At the end she says it isn't about the money, so WHY did she choose an unknown shipping company to save money in the beginning? This one decision is basically the plot driver for the rest of the movie. From that moment you knew exactly how things were going to unfold. As expected things go horribly wrong but instead of having a backup plan when problems start happening she just continues to trust the shipment will arrive and all will be fine. This seems extremely naïve and doesn't work out well for her. As a good Christmas movie should, the day is saved in the end with help from her new friends but I couldn't help thinking this all could have been avoided. As with most Christmas Rom-Coms there is a love story spanning just a few weeks and a happily ever after. I don't mind this so much since it is a major plot point for this genera, but paired with the other issues it adds to how unrealistic the storyline is. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/20/24 Full Review Linda J Just unrealistic, too sappy and it drug on for ever! It got one star since location was fun to see. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/17/24 Full Review Melissa N I had hopes this would be a lovly movie set in a beautiful place to start the Christmas Holiday with the spirit of the season. Instead, it is terribly cast with actors with no German accents, and minimal attempts at even reasonable authenticity. Story is cute though with wonderful moments of family tradition. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/15/24 Full Review Mermaid S It was perfect! Such a lovely story. Beautiful location and believable actors. It's like a warm Christmas hug. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/20/23 Full Review R 9 Your average made-for-television festive flick. 'A Heidelberg Holiday' doesn't bring major Xmas feeling though, it didn't feel as Christmassy as I'd want via my personal liking but what is produced is close enough. The German aspects are cool, especially for an American-made movie. I thought the 'delayed delivery' side of the story was gonna pack more of a punch than it did, I was getting magical elf worker vibes but maybe that was my imagination expecting too much from a flick of this kind. The cast, meanwhile, all blend into one in my memory to be honest, Ginna Claire and Frédéric Brossier are alright leads mind.
