So if you read this blog you will remember that I hated
Northpole last year. It was awful; awful acting, awful plot, awful casting. Northpole
2 was slightly better. And by slightly, I mean one candy cane stripe better.
The plot is a mix of “Santa is Real, Christmas Saves the Hotel, Christmas Heals
a Broken Heart, and The Grinch that Plagiarized Christmas.” Lori Laughlin of
Full House Fame (pretty much everyone that was on Full House ends up in
Hallmark Christmas Movies) plays MacKenzie an appraiser for an auction house
who inherits her aunt’s Inn in Vermont (I through for sure they would
plagiarize it and call it the Pine Tree Inn from “White Christmas”, but they
did not). Mackenzie plans on selling it
off as soon as possible, but goes to inspect the property…
What Mackenzie doesn’t know is that the Northern Lights Inn
is actually a magical energy point for Santa Claus and without it, he won’t be
able to deliver his gifts (I am unsure if he would abandon the whole trip or if
just New England would get screwed). So he sends his most annoying elf –
Clementine down to the Inn to give Mackenzie a jolt of Christmas Spirit and
save the Inn and save her heart.
This movie has a lot going on. There is a romance sub plot,
a kid needing a mom sub plot and some weird subtext about a septuagenarian elf
married to a human who makes good biscuits. The whole thing was messy and
shoved together. I am sure they will make a “Northpole 3 – Season of the Polar
Bear” or some other nonsensical garbage.
I will of course watch it. I have to.
Cry Time: I did not cry except for my inability to turn this horrible film off.
Candy Canes : (I gave it one because it was slightly better than the first one)
