So, so dull.

Turns out this is part of a series that also includes 'Sister Swap: A Hometown Holiday', which I somehow missed when doing my quick research (checking for sequels etc.) before selecting a movie. Apparently, though, it's a split perspective type of thing, in that this tells one sister's perspective and that other one shows the other sister's story. Intriguing, something that 'Sister Swap: Christmas in the City' is not.

I found the story and its characters to be too nice, to the point it becomes overbearing. And I say that as someone who is used to the cheesiness and all that stuff from these sorta flicks, but even for me this felt too much. Ashley Williams' Meg is particularly jarring.

My only plus point for this 2021 release is the bits of the plot involving David L. King's Frank and Rhonda Morman's Nina. That actually held some weight to it to be fair, unfortunately it does wrap up in the typical Hallmark fashion (as expected) but even so I appreciated a less sugary, if too minimally shown, piece of storytelling.
