“The Queen of Country,” Reba McEntire, now has her very own Christmas movie! There will be singing, of course. And the singing will most likely be decent, of course. This is Reba, after all! But what about the movie itself? Will that be any good? Let’s take a look.
Georgia (Reba McEntire) and Joe (John Schneider) Winter used to be a couple. They also used to be a top country duo. Years after their breakup, the couple reunites to perform at a Christmas charity concert at the request of their daughter, Belle (Candice King). Will there be more than just music in the air?
Considering the stars of Christmas in Tune, I wasn’t overly concerned about the acting in the movie. Both Reba McEntire and John Schneider have had long acting careers. If the movie was going to flop, the blame would be placed solely on the writers’ shoulders.
Thankfully, the writing is not terrible. It’s actually pretty sweet in the love/hate type of way. Both Georgia and Joe love each other deeply but they also both let their pride get in the way. It isn’t until they have to spend time together that they realize how they feel about each other. There aren’t very many of these “established couple fell out of love” Christmas movies but I find they tend to be better than the “strangers falling in love” movies.
Unless you absolutely despise country music, you will like Christmas in Tune. To be honest, I’m not a huge fan of country music but I enjoyed all of the songs here. Give it a try. At worst, you’ll walk away with a smile on your face.
