We’re going to take a break from Hallmark and Great American Family for a moment and tune into Hulu for A Christmas Frequency. It stars Denise Richards so it can’t be completely awful, right?
Kenzie (Ansley Gordon) is the producer of the Breakfast With Brooke radio show. When the ratings start to fall because Brooke (Denise Richards) is depressed over her failed marriage, Kenzie decides to set Brooke up with blind dates on air. The audience will vote on which date they like best, making him Brooke’s date for the show’s live Christmas show. Things change when Ben (Jonathan Stoddard), a man that Kenzie is interested in dating herself, shows up on the list of potential blind dates. Is there any way to save the show and make everyone happy?
Overall, I thought this was a good movie. There were a few scenes that felt like they dragged but there weren’t many. Ansley Gordon was a delight as Kenzie and Jonathan Stoddard was charming. Sadly, Brooke spent a lot of the movie moping so we didn’t get to see a ton of range from Denise Richards. While this won’t be an annual movie by any means, it was a refreshing break from the usual stuff I watch during the Christmas season.
Rating: Turn the radio up
