Broadcasting Christmas (2016)

When her on-air partner decides to depart America's favorite morning show, "Rise and Shine's" Veronika Daniels announces that she will be choosing her new co-host from a handful of candidates that includes Charlie Fisher, a local NY newscaster who is the son of a broadcasting legend. However, when Emily Morgan, a human interest reporter for the local Connecticut station, makes an impassioned on-air plea to be considered for the job, the game changes for everyone as video of Emily's declaration goes viral and the network brass decide to put her in the running. Veronika delights in the healthy competition she sees brewing, and encourages the candidates to bring their A game in the segments and stories they do between now and the Christmas Day Telethon, when she will announce her choice. As the competition narrows, and it becomes clear that either Charlie or Emily are going to get the job, they begin to rediscover a spark between them that started long ago. Written by Happy_Evil_Dude

This movie is not your usual, "Gee, my ex is back in the scene!" kind of thing, but it does have lots of formulaic elements.

It is co-produced by MELISSA JOAN HEART.  She stars in it alongside DEAN CAIN.  They do have some chemistry, so no matter what the others say, their partnership works well.  At least that's what I think.

I like Emily(MJH)'s family headed by RICHARD KLINE as Mr. Stanley Morgan.  Abby(KRISTA BRAUN) is one of the best sisters ever, and the mom played by KATHRYN LEE SCOTT is one of the sweetest ever.

As for Charlie's parents, now let me think.  I have nothing against the people portraying them(DAREN KELLY and JOYCE COHEN), but their roles are just so...I have no good word for them, most especially the father.  They even justified the things they did.  Oh well.

Oh, I won't make a roll call, but I must say I guessed the ending.  Didn't we all?  Still, I wouldn't have the ending any other way.

Thanks for your time.
