Don't bother with this one...

"Merry Birthday, Happy Christmas" was another Christmas movie that I had never even heard of prior to sitting down to watch it.I am sure that the storyline in the movie was written with the best of intentions, but it was so brutally slaughtered in execution from script to screen that it was just an unwatchable movie. Everything just fell to the floor and utterly failed to entertain me. So I can't claim that I was the least bit entertained by what writers Elgin Cahill and Kate Mobley delivered.The acting performances in the movie were a bit strained, wooden if you will. Leading actor Scott Mitchell and leading actress Aeon Cruz weren't exactly delivering fully convincing performances in carrying the movie. It was very forced and staged, and didn't really come off as being natural or particularly believable. But many of the actors and actresses on the cast list weren't exactly delivering top notch performances, and it was holding the movie back.I sat through a staggering 16 minutes of absolute pure boredom here before I tossed the towel in the ring. The movie was fully and wholly devoid of an interesting storyline, interesting characters, proper acting, and most importantly devoid of a Christmas spirit. I will never return to attempt finish watching the movie, because I was almost bored to tears the first time around.Of all the Christmas movies I've sat through so far this December, "Merry Birthday, Happy Christmas" takes second place in terms of being a heap of rubbish, only surpassed by the 2024 movie "A Holiday for Harmony".My rating of director Elgin Cahill's 2024 movie "Merry Birthday, Happy Christmas" lands on a two out of ten stars.

Not good

The movie would be good if the acting wasn't so bad. The male lead giggles to much. It's just so corny and it lacks any real romance or humor! In this day and age you think that something like this wouldn't make it to the screen. I think the male lead didn't really go well with the lead actress. He seems like a girlfriend! It just drags and nothing exciting happens! I love Christmas movies but this falls short! The interview part was really not good! It's like watching commercials! I try to finish watching a movie when I start it but it's very boring! Good thing it's late at night. I will go to sleep.
