“Hometown Holiday” (*1/2 out of four) was yet another plastic Lifetime movie about a small-town girl (Krista Troyer) who is swept off her feet by a slick entertainment lawyer (Bradley Hamilton) who is passing through her area but they soon realize they both have baggage from the past and the present that they need to unravel before they are to embark on a happy relationship together. Treacly story is full of Lifetime’s usual hollow sentiments and cliches and overripe acting. Shimmering cinematography (by Pure West) and some beautiful locations are film’s only virtues but this is purely for Lifetime addicts only.
