Just when I thought we had reached the end of our Christmas story tropes, we are given a new one - scrapbooking. Yes, Merry Memories is about scrapbooking.
Michaela (Lindura) is very set in her ways. She makes lists for everything and they must be followed exactly. But when she steps in to help her brother, Josh (Eze Leno), care for his son, Danny (Omi Fitzpatrick-Gonzales), the rules get thrown out the window. Especially when Danny gets a scrapbooking assignment from his substitute teacher, Bryan (Brendan Morgan). Together, Michaela and Bryan help Danny make a special scrapbook to share with his military mother, who is currently deployed.
Yeah. This movie is boring. The plot is supposed to be breaking Michaela out of her hard-set ways but, instead, it’s just throwing chaos into her organized world. Sure, she needs to be less strict with her structure. Throwing glitter around is not the way to do it. Whoever thought a child scrapbooking would be a good plot needs to get out more. Or hang out with more children doing crafts.
