'Two sisters find a new sense of purpose and discover what they both truly need in life during the holidays.'
I know I'm not the only one who gets half-way through a Hallmark Christmas movie before realizing that I'd already seen it. Given the story seminaries in the Hallmark rom-com series, it's easy to think you've seen a movie, even if you haven't. It gets even more complicated when it's a movie with a similar title, identical characters, and stories and scenes that overlap.
That's exactly what happened when I recently caught 2021's Sister Swap: Christmas in the City. About 20 minutes in, I was sure I'd seen the film before. I actually though, hadn't. My confusion was understandable however, because I'd seen Sister Swap: A Hometown Holiday a couple of years ago, and the two films are basically the same movie from the perspectives of two sisters, also the two main characters.
The two sister are played by real life sisters Kimberly Williams-Paisley and Ashley Williams and the two films aired over two weekends in 2021. Although there are scenes that are exactly the same in both movies, there are different characters in focus. One of the reasons why I was confused was because in Christmas in the City, the main male hottie is Joe, and he was barely seen in the first version of the film I'd seen.
I certainly would have remembered Joe, especially given he was played by the incredibly hot actor and singer Keith D. Robinson. Sexy, sweet with a great smile, Robinson was especially engaging, making this part of the sister swap, (focused on Ashley Williams) far more entertaining and memorable than the previous version that I saw. Although Robinson was in both, he didn't have much airtime, and if you blinked, or looked away, it was easy to miss him.
Many may know Robinson from his role in the TV series Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue playing Joel Rawlings, the Green Lightspeed Ranger.[Robinson also appeared in such films as Fat Albert, Mimic: Sentinel and as C.C White in Dreamgirls. Robinson also appeared in such television series as American Dreams, Monk, as well as his recurring role on the UPN series Half & Half.
I think Robinsons only nude scene was his butt baring shower entrance in the 2014 drama Cru. Brief, but certainly memorable....
