Rock N Roll Christmas

Rockin, Rollin, and Family



Rock And Roll Christmas
Network: UPTV
Year: 2019
Starring: Beverly Mitchell, Catherine Mary Stewart, David Pinard, Michael Dickson


Summary: 
Ashlyn and Bonnie Rose are a mother/daughter duet that haven't seen each other in 10 years but with the help of their manager (Michael Dickson) they are flung back together for a reunion - and a chance at forgiveness and restoration. But these two ladies have their issues, and adding a romance with a certain songwriter (David Pinard) doesn't make Bonnie any happier. 
Can these two forget the past, face each other, forgive --- and at the very least, come together to make music again? 

I wasn't too keen on this movie based on the trailer, it looked like it could be cheesy. TOTALLY WASN'T!

Sometimes I think I confuse cheesy with emotional. Maybe because it can be uncomfortable. Ever feel that way?

Emotions can't be your whole life though, they aren't reliable. How many times have you thought you left the garage door open and spent the whole day at work slightly panicked until you finally (and speedily) pulled into the drive way to see ... that you had indeed closed the garage door. Your feelings freaked you out, and they were wrong.

At the realization that the movie starts with a duo concert that neither one of the duo are aware it's in fact a duet, that got my interest. When my sister saw the romantic lead played by handsome David Pinard, that got her interest.

There will be times you want to shake Ashlyn's mom but keep in mind she's probably acting this way for a reason, right? She also gets a love interest and it's very cute, and irritating because this guy has been love with her for like 22 years! And she barely has a clue. How much does he need to do for her? (He even asks this question, which is so fantastic!)

Beverly Mitchell and Catherine Mary Stewart have great mother-daughter chemistry, you forget that these two are acting - and it's believable they are musicians. I wish they had picked a few different songs because since it is Christmas time we are hearing a lot of the same songs (I love Christmas songs! But having them sing classic songs kind of slowed their music scenes down, I felt like it wasn't a different take. Thankfully near the end they write their own song). 

The ending seemed cut short, definitely would've liked more but all in all, this is a good movie. It is about mothers and daughters, forgiveness, love and Christmas. 

I give this movie ... 8 out of 10. It has a 6.1 out of 10 on IMDB, I couldn't pull it up on Amazon as of yet. To me this is a movie I'd watch again. 

What about you? Did this mother-daughter relationship cause a stir in your emotions? Are you amazed at Bret's patience? 




Happy Finding, Happy Found
