Reindeer Games Homecoming Review + Parents Guide
A Lifetime original movie, Reindeer Games Homecoming reunites Grey’s Anatomy fan favorites, Sarah Drew (Amber Brown) and Justin Bruening (Sweet Magnolias), in a charming story just in time for the holiday season.
MacKenzie Graves (Sarah Drew) is struggling and grieving the tragic death of her father. She’s stuck in a standstill in her life, and has placed her dreams on hold.
Chase Weston (Justin Bruening) is the small hometown celebrity. He’s an actor struggling to find his next big role.
Mac and Chase are former classmates and share a history together. Sparks fly when they are unexpectedly reunited. However, are their lifestyles too different to make it work? Or, is this the change they both need?
Reindeer Games Homecoming is the fun rom-com we need to start off the holiday season. It’s an absolute delight to see Drew and Bruening onscreen together again. The two of them have an undeniable chemistry. It’s clearly evident they both had a whole lot of fun filming this movie.
Grief portrays a main theme in Reindeer Games Homecoming. It’s important to remember that grief is something that might never truly go away. You need to work through grief. There’s a journey in accepting grief and letting go. Grief tends to put things into perspective. It enables us to take a good look at our lives and how we want to live it. No one likes grief, but it’s something we all go through which makes it relatable to everyone.
Is Reindeer Games Homecoming Kid-Friendly? Here’s Your Parents Guide:
If Lifetime holiday movies are your jam, then Reindeer Games Homecoming will give you a real treat. However, is it okay to watch with your kids? Reindeer Games Homecoming has an MPAA rating of PG. It has a runtime of 1 hour 27 minutes.
While only rated PG, Reindeer Games Homecoming is not meant for children. That’s not to say it’s inappropriate by any means, because it’s not. The storyline will just not hold the attention of little ones. This is a holiday romantic comedy, and the theme of grief certainly plays a major role. I would recommend Reindeer Games Homecoming for ages 13 and up. With that being said, this movie is for fans of Sarah Drew and Justin Bruening. Add in a Lifetime storyline, and you have yourself a winner.
Overall Thoughts
Reindeer Games Homecoming is a great escape this holiday season. There are laugh out loud moments, and you can’t help but love the chemistry between Drew and Bruening. There is a great message that all you really need in life is a few good people who really know you and love you. The other things? They’re insignificant and not what matters most. Grab your cup of hot cocoa and a cozy blanket and stream this Wonderful Lifetime movie today.
