★ 6/10
As far as this genre goes, <em>'Christmas at Castle Hart'</em> is alright. I didn't sense any real chemistry between leads Lacey Chabert and Stuart Townsend, but they still suit each other relatively well onscreen. The support cast aren't all that and the (somewhat minimal) special effects are... not good. The setting of the Republic of Ireland is neat though. As festive film fluff goes, this is minorly watchable. 6/10 for me.
