Lacey Chabert is back for another 2020 Christmas movie. This time it’s a mystery over on the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel.

A group of people are mysteriously invited to spend Christmas at a local inn. Sarah (Chabert) takes it upon herself to figure out who invited them and why.

I was really looking forward to Come Home. The mystery sounded interesting and I was intrigued about how these five strangers fit together. Then I fell asleep in the middle of it. Yes, I actually fell asleep.

I think the problem is that the story spends too much time on everyone’s individual stories. Instead of pulling them together to solve the Big Mystery, we’re busy with a father trying to win his daughter’s affection, a former couple rekindling their flame, a musician mourning his wife, and a woman mourning her mother. The writers could have had the group working together to solve the mystery so the father could impress his daughter with some rare knowledge, the former couple could be canoodling while finding clues, and the two people mourning could reminisce about their deceased family members. It would have been so much more interesting with the group together.

Also, Chabert isn’t a very good leading woman. In both movies this year, she spends a lot of time making sad eyes at the camera. It’s not attractive.

Should you watch it? Meh. Watch beginning and the last 30 minutes. Skip the rest. Or sleep through it. I did have a good nap while it was on.
