Review of A Holiday Spectacular

Overall, a very satisfying story marred only slightly by goofs and additions that seem to be necessary in 2022 Hallmark films: it shows a decidedly plus-sized dancer towards the end, when there were no such dancers in actuality in the 1950's Rockettes, and not shown in the brief shots of them dancing in the movie. A goof was showing the modern logo of NBC NEWS towards the end, that wasn't edited out. The young woman Maggie told her fellow dancer about happy she was to learn how love can make her feel, literally lifted almost verbatim from the Hallmark movie "The Christmas Card". The story got a little too preachy on the "be your authentic self" mantra floating around today. As annoying as these unnecessary issues were, they could be overlooked as deliberate decisions by the writers and director - the cast was very upbeat and I could watch the movie again.
