GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
sbradfor-863-215238 My wife and I both enjoy and watch a lot of Hallmark movies every Christmas. We were intrigued by this one because the story was slightly different for a Hallmark movie. In this one, she gets reacquainted with her ex. We both found the story a little more unique than most of the other Hallmark movies we watched this year. We also thought that the acting was better than average for a Hallmark movie. All of the actors did a good job. The grandfather was particularly good. The writing was standard fare for a Hallmark film, but there were a couple of things that made it more unique.There is one thing that I hope isn't true but I suspect might be. The ratings for this movie were lower than most of the other Hallmark films we watched this year. After watching this film, I was surprised by this. Both my wife and I thought this was one of the better Hallmark Christmas films we watched, yet if you only went by the ratings, it wouldn't appear to be so. I sincerely hope that some people aren't being racist and voting it down because it is about a Hispanic couple (who are actually married in real life). That would be really sad. I hope that you'll give this film a chance. If you like Hallmark movies, you'll probably like this one. It is a little more unique for Hallmark movies and this is something that I like about this film.
ronbokirk At 1 hour 19 minutes and 44 seconds she walks thru the curtain onto the stage. She is wearing a blue suit on the backstage side of the curtain. She emerges on the other side wearing a red dress with no time in between to change. Christmas magic or blooper?Alexa is wonderful in this movie, but is miss-paired with her husband/co-star Carlos. I sincerely hope they have magic and sparks in their real relationship, but that was sadly missing for their onscreen characters. It was almost like Major League (Alexas) vs Little League (Carlos). It was a good story but Alexa had to carry the film by herself.
LuLuBelleKy I wanted to like it, but it took me 4 times to watch it through because it was soooooo boring..... and predictable. The acting was just bleh.... the story was just, meh....... skip this one. It will be 2 hours you will never get back, that you could've been watching something better. Two thumbs way down.
Jack Vasen I have tagged this with spoilers, but I really don't think I give anything significant away.Let's see what usual themes do we have? Laura comes back to her home town where she hasn't been in years. She runs into Ricardo who was kind of an old boyfriend. She has an impossible assignment to complete in too little time. Although not clear at the beginning, apparently her job is at stake. She already has a boyfriend back at the office and he shows up awkwardly. She has a kid who believes in Santa (and she wants snow from Santa). They have a traditional icon in the form of the hotel's fountain.What's different? Not a lot and the things that are a little different have been done before. They dance a lot. Instead of a contest to win, there is a dance finale to prepare for.For actors that are married to each other, I would have expected more chemistry, but they are comfortable together. Part of the lack of chemistry is a shortage of chances to dialogue between them. There were obviously some, but much of their time together was either not very romantic, or was dancing. As in many Christmas stories with kids, Nikki is a factor in bringing them together. Jaynee-Lynne Kinchen is cute but she does almost seem like a 30 year-old in a 9 year-old body, but I think that is part of the story.The act put on by the kids was pretty good, more than a school pageant. Same with the lovers dancing - it included some flashy and slightly difficult moves.The ending is predictable, although there were two small things that could have gone differently.
