It’s equal parts modern fairy tale, time-travel movie that’s meant to make people understand and appreciate their own era, and Christmas magic movie, and the creators don’t do anything meaningful to refresh those genre trappings, or play with their conventions.
Netflix's The Knight Before Christmas is a perfectly charming holiday rom-com, with plenty of time-travel hijinks and a valiant effort from its stars.

A strangely charming holiday movie. It’s very predictable, but it feels like the movie is fine with that. It’s well acted and the characters are likable. I wouldn’t schedule my day around it, but it’s worth a lazy Sunday-afternoon viewing.
Report
Arguably one of the better Christmas movies released this year and it's somewhat original - at least I never heard of such a story. However, the plot lacks consistency which could be overlooked. One thing though: Despite being a Christmas movie, it lacks the cheer and joyfulness aka what make Christmas, Christmas.

On the whole, The Knight Before Christmas is one to skip, a sweet nothing that’s a lot more “nothing” than sweet.
A soulless, empty assault on any and all other cinematic works trying (even a little) to do something honest with the filmic medium, "The Knight Before Christmas" is exactly what it sounds like it is -- a nearly unwatchable slog through every woeful beat and cliche you've ever seen in any movie like this ever, with a razor thin concept that most likely came about after this borderline morally reprehensible title did first, and a thematic backbone so shriveled and meager, it'd make even the most loyal of Hallmark junkies cry foul. Easily one of the year's worst.
