Alana Higman, a die-hard Kansas City Chiefs fan, and her family are competing to win the team’s Fan of the Year competition, with the judging process being handled by Director of Fan Engagement Derrick. Get Happy. The movie was filmed in historic Independence Square in Independence, Missouri, which actually looks like this all year round. The locations where the Higman family store and Norma and Nick’s BBQ restaurant were located are also family-owned stores in real life.
The square also lights up with Christmas lights, just like in the movie. I have to give the writers and producers credit for trying something very different in the history of Christmas movies, even if they only wore the Chiefs’ sleigh rides any time the team plays on Christmas Day. So they’re rocking big, but they only managed a single. Maybe I should say they threw deep and got pass interference, but not a bomb.
Hunter King and Tyler Hines had decent chemistry here and we liked Tyler in a few of these movies. But some things in this movie took us out of the story, like the mom and grandma practically throwing Hunter into a stranger’s arms when he walked in the door. Then the whole gang, like Hunter getting upset about the “non-believer in the hat”; was funny, especially when it was the best the writers could come up with to build up the tension late in the novel. A lot of the “best fans”; the story worked, and Ed Begley Jr.
He looked 15 years older than he should at 75 because of Parkinson’s, which is a shame, but not his fault. Some of the movies this year have had an annoying minor character who acts out embarrassingly too much, and this movie is one of them. The delicatessen owner almost made me pick up this movie within the first five minutes. Thankfully, she only appeared once more, and briefly.
