Ángel de Navidad

I agree with other reviewers about this being kinda creepy and weird and that's from the actors playing the angels. Chad Michael Murray is enjoyable in most movies but yes, he was doing something weird with his voice. At first, I thought he was trying to fake a British accent, then I realized he was trying to articulate wise and angelic (if that's possible and apparently it isn't). The actor in Mr. Miracle that portrayed an angel in a similar story pulled it off better, or the actor that portrayed the nutcracker come to life in A very Nutty Christmas was superb, unlike the two in this movie playing angels. They didn't seem wise or inspiring but rather condescending. And the lines of wisdom were like fortune cookie sayings.

Like the main actors but the script is lacking. Hope the new channel gets better with time. Was hoping the angel would choose to fall and follow his heart.

I like Chad Michael Murray, but he seemed to be talking like a robot in this movie! Also, I didn't find that any of the characters had chemistry. It's a weird one - not the best of the year.

This is like CMM and JL's third movie, so I'm guessing they enjoy working together. They have good chemistry. To be honest, more chemistry than Jessica and the Josh character, although to be fair, Loretta Young had great chemistry with Cary Grant (and I adore David Niven). The plot is pretty simple and easy to follow. I like the story. Too many, in particular Lifetime and Hallmark, movies overly complicate the plot. Not every movie has to have a "Save the XXX" or "Down with the Big Bad Corp" message. (Yes yes, I know the plots of The Bishop's Wife and The Preacher's Wife). It's nice to have a movie about love and family. I'm in my 30s and have been loving Christmas movies all my life. As I get older and see the same stories over and over, I'm finding myself enjoying movies that don't always have a meet cute. Movies about rediscovery are becoming my favorites. I enjoy Cranberry Christmas and the latest Mrs. Miracle movie (from 2021) for this reason.

Since I recognized it as an adaptation, I wasn't let down or disappointed by the ending... the story was moving logically towards the conclusion we saw. I like that the movie was about all three leading characters and that Josh wasn't just a prop. I liked that he got his life sorted as well even beyond his relationship.

It's a post-C19/right-after-it movie, and that is evident in how sparse and spread out everything is, but I didn't find it distracting.

It's worth a watch. I've watched it maybe three times btwn 2021 and 2022.

I'm not sure what happened but CMM's character was very weird. I normally enjoy his acting in movies but this was down right creepy/weird in my opinion. I did not finish watching this movie after the 45 minute mark when CMM was speaking to JL's neighbor and he leaned right into face....just weird.

I'll wait to see other reviews to determine if it possibly worth actually watching.
