Christmas Belles (2019)

Late twenty-somethings Raven Goodwin and Dominique Perry are constantly pressured to get married. When an attractive new pastor comes to their church at Christmastime, they find themselves rivals for his attention. The quality of the film is about average with any other romantic made for television Christmas film. It’s not a particularly unique story and I almost universally find outside pressure to couple up rather grotesque. The competition between the women gets downright nasty at times, but the leads are still appealing and it’s mostly harmless, mindless entertainment. While I tend to find religious themed films annoying, I do enjoy a church setting. Particularly in a film such as this where there is sniping and fighting, congregation members are constrained from certain types of actions unless they want to be subjected to community disapproval.
