Atrapada en la Navidad

There have been two other movies about being in a time loop on Christmas. So this movie falls short of being original.

Christmas morning is here, When 11 year old Rowena(Scarlett Estevez) has a mishap of a holiday, and wishes she could do it over, a mall santa grants her wish. When she gets stuck in the time loop, Rowena decides to milk it for what it's worth, but will she discover the true meaning of Christmas during that?

Scarlett Estevez starts out annoying. But she gets better has the movie goes on, but the problem here is too much of the movie was put on her to carry by herself. And that is where it got uninteresting, cause most of the other actors don't really grab you, there just kind of there. Even the two Home Alone movies Culkin didn't carry those films by himself. Some of the jokes don't quite land. Scarlett Estevez is a charming actress, and she does make this somewhat watchable, but other than that, the movie itself is just alright.

Hispanic Groundhog Day meets Parent Trap. I like it. Girl from Lucifer shines. Disney needs more Hallmark movies for kids. Not bad for a kid who has to play both Bill Murray and Haley Mills.

Disney's usual trope of awful events in a kids movie.

Doesn't divorced parents and an unhappy child just scream "The most wonderful time of the year"?

Could have been a light-hearted kids festive groundhog day.

What do you get it you take a classic movie like the 1993 movie "Groundhog Day", spice it up with Christmas and add a pinch of Disney magic? Well, you get "Christmas Again". Yeah, that was essentially all that could be required to summarize this 2021 Christmas movie. But let's add a bit more, shall we?

Writer Doan La managed to put together a nice enough storyline for director Andy Fickman to make a movie from. However, the movie does borrow heavily from "Groundhog Day", and on that account then "Christmas Again" actually start to feel somewhat unoriginal, despite it being glaced up with a Christmas apparrel.

Sure, the storyline told in "Christmas Again" was fair enough and the movie was watchable, but "Christmas Again" had that particular vibe of a-movie-you-will-watch-once-and-probably-never-again feel to it. Hate to say so, but that is the sensation I was left with once the movie came to an end.

The acting performances in "Christmas Again" were fair. And Scarlett Estevez actually carried the movie quite well. I can't really claim that I was familiar with anyone on the cast list here, which is something I do enjoy in movies. The actors and actresses participating in the movie definitely did good jobs.

"Christmas Again" is not your average sappy romantic Christmas movie, so it was a nice break away from the archetypical Christmas cheese.

My rating of "Christmas Again" lands on a six out of ten stars, as it is an entertaining storyline. Just a shame that it was somewhat unoriginal.

This is getting 4 stars solely because something hooked me long enough to watch an hour of this train wreck. Also is it just me or is the main character way to mean bratty in the beginning. I mean yes I know she's our main character and will learn lesson along the way but the first Christmas, before the loop, she was just a straight up jerk, that's just my opinion tho.
