We’re heading back over to Great American Family for Meet Me Under The Mistletoe, a movie about realtors. While there has been quite a few real estate-related Christmas movies, they are usually pretty terrible. Let’s hope for the best.

Eva (Sarah Fisher) is an up-and-coming realtor who has been succeeding at selling condos quickly. When Frank (Paul Essiembre) and Kelly Greer (Jan Skene) decide to sell their house by Christmas, they choose both Eva and her rival, Jeff (Simon Arblaster), to list the house together.

Usually, in these movies, the lead characters’ career paths define who they are. In this case, Eva wrote a novel and only went into real estate because it didn’t sell. And Jeff is an amazing artist who only uses his talent as gifts for his clients. These two side plots aren’t part of the main story but they are important character traits. I actually wish the real estate part of the story didn’t exist and this was about a writer and an artist connecting. It would have been more interesting.

With that said, the actual realtor part of the movie is bland. It takes up a good part of the beginning of the movie but once they get the house staged, it mostly disappears. Eva and Jeff spend time going to the Christmas festival and falling in love. Which is fine but, again, we could have just gotten rid of the real estate aspect and the movie would have been better.
