Christmas in Evergreen: Bells Are Ringing (2020)

The second best of the series, which is a surprise.

<em>'Christmas in Evergreen: Bells Are Ringing'</em> improves on the two other sequels, that's quite the achievement in truth. What helps this film is that it keeps the cast, largely, the same. Instead of creating yet another love story with new faces, it continues one from the preceding production by moving Rukiya Bernard into the lead role.

Bernard is solid as Hannah, her being front and center helps the film have some charm to it - which has been missing throughout the series. I kinda liked Antonio Cayonne's character, Elliot, last time out so didn't mind seeing him in a bigger role, also. Their story, though, is meh. Jerry Wasserman (Jeb) makes for an alright addition, his character is averagely written but I could see what they were trying to do with him.

That's these watched, for now... I assume they are gonna make another one next year?
