A New York Christmas Wedding

I think I enjoyed this movie more than I probably should have because it is just so refreshing to see a ridiculous Hallmark-style Christmas movie featuring LGBT characters as the lead. I mean what a shocker it isn't made by Hallmark but it was that type of movie.

The plot is just like Christmas nonsense but you expect it from this type of movie.

I think if they just got a few better actors this movie could have been a little gem among the thousands of Christmas movies that are released every year.

To be fair it does stand out due to its characters but I think it choice have been something really good if they just got people that could act.

The filmmaking is a little slapdash and amateur but I think the heart and sentiment behind it all kind of puts a bandage over all that and by the end you find that you really enjoyed it.

Definitely watch this movie and show it support. Hopefully studios will see that people appreciate movies like this and appreciate seeing diversity and don't want to just see the same story told over and over again about the exact same demographic.

I came across this in a Netflix search for the typical holiday movie. This is much deeper and more meaningful. I agree with some reviews re the filming quality. But the story is beautiful. And the actor playing Azreal was excellent. Really moving.

I totally appreciate the idea of an LGBT answer to "It's a Wonderful Life" but the script never quite seemed to nail what message it was trying to make - other than "Be true to yourself" - which is all well and good but the choices the main character is given and then makes are not handled well by the storyline, add to that the dodgy writing and obviously low budget made-for-television production values and you got a film that had some potential but then failed to deliver at the finish line.

This film had so much potential. It was great to find an Xmas movie with a multiracial leading cast and to see a LGBQT Christmas love story. Just a shame that it wasn't executed better.

I was trawling through Hallmark style christmas/romance flix on Netflix and clicked this expecting the usual, but wow, did we get more than we expected. This is NOT your usual cookie-cutter rom-com. It's a thoroughly unique and beautifully crafted piece that is both wonderful to watch AND thought provoking, without using a sledgehammer. I would say that I want to find more movies like this, except there aren't any. That's a big part of what makes it so good. As long as you have an open mind about love and accept that love-is-love, then I highly recommend taking the time to watch this wonderful movie. You won't be disappointed. I know I wasn't.
