Best Worst Christmas Cable Movies: No Time Like Christmas

This cinematic marvel stars Kyla Pratt as a very business lady trying to make her mark at her ad agency. She is addicted to working and has NO social life.

Anyway, a chance encounter with Jerry from Parks and Rec (who might be Santa?) draws her back to a small Vermont town and to her old college flame, who is now a big time playwright and/or producer and a single Zaddy of a precocious tween.

Kyla is supposed to be working on her big life-changing ad campaign for a new watch that is launching on Christmas Eve, but she distracts herself by “helping” Zaddy and kid “cast” the play. Zaddy gets inspired by their chance meeting and a gift from Kyla that he pawned after they broke up to write a new Christmas play. He pressures Kyla to write and play an original Christmas song even though she has major stage fright and hasn’t played in over a decade. You can probably figures out from here.

Naturally, I have follow up questions, such as: Why is Zaddy making casting decisions if his daughter is the producer? Why didn’t Kyla stay with her family? Her parents and her sister’s fam live there. Why does Kyla’s character love Gone With The Wind? Is Gone With The Wind the favorite movie of any human of African descent? Because I feel like it is not. Is Kyla responsible for the concept, the copy, and the graphics at her major ad agency? I don’t think that’s correct. How did Kyla accidentally send a reply email to someone who was not on the chain…and add two attachments? Was the whole play just one song? Is Jerry Santa?

It has everything: awkward audition montage, small town Christmas traditions, watches, cute and convenient misunderstandings. The acting is mostly very bad (at no fault of Kyla) and the script leaves a lot to be desired, but the concept is a jewel. Would recommend.

DA’VONNE ROGERS! AMERICA’S FAVOURITE PLAYER!!

[millionribbons]

That was probably the most frustrating and boring season of Big Brother ever..but it was all worth it to watch Da’Vonne win AFP! 😭🥳🤩🤣

[millionribbons]

Yes this is the most accurate description of this fandom I have ever read wow back to therapy now

Y’all I s2g we’re all trapped in this toxic abusive relationship with BB.

We always go back to it even after being let down so many times and then there’s the thought of actually wanting to PLAY on it.

This is our life.

I love this timeline for us.

Da’vonne winning bb allstars is so healing for me. 😌💗

[millionribbons]

we’re finally free, da’vonne won afh and that’s all i care about 😊

[millionribbons]

If I were to sum up the bb22 finale in one word, it would have to be “BRO”

Glad our girl Day rightfully was crowned AFP, and that it did not go to Tucker. Also, Ratcole got out-ratted.

And remember, always have faith that bb23 could be less garbage and less mayo.

And his terrible paranoid gameplay. And causing nicola to ruin Jaysar's games, as well as both of theirs.

I wasn't around for Kevin's first season so idk how much he was bullied for being effeminate but if he was talk about how much we've grown as a society.

In 2009 he was bullied for being feminine. And now he's bullied for being a whiny ass bitch

The mayos truly believe that Day is somehow obligated to make game decisions based off what will benefit their individual games and not hers.

I hope that Tractor (and America) realize that: 1) olive branches do not come with strings attached. If your offer was contingent upon behavior from the recipient, it was not an olive branch. That's a manipulation. 2) if Tractor really had the intent of being named the replacement nominee and going home, it would not matter whether or not Bay was coming for him. Because he would be at home. And not in the game. 3) if Tractor truly intended to "fall on his sword" for our girls, he would infer that what Day told Scholastic Book Fair was irrelevant to him, his character, their relationship, and his gameplay. Because he, Bay, Day, and (presumably) Book Fair would all be operating under the assumption that Tractor's game was ending before Bay could enact any sort of revenge on him. Because he was leaving. Because that's what he said he was doing. Anyway, take care and thank your loved ones.
