Christmas in Paradise

I really loved this movie. It was funny, heartfelt and fun. I really enjoy Kelsey Grammer's work and was happy to have come across this little gem.

I know many people have said that this film is lame, boring or unworthy of your attention but looking beyond the corniness is a wonderful movie filled with love, emotion and family.

Their were many emotional moments in this film that almost made me cry and others that made me smile.

For those of you who have seen this movie once, twice or fifty times or even seeing this for the first time please give it a chance and I know you'll love this film.

I felt Christmas in paradise was a very entertaining and enjoyable sequel to The 2021 movie Christmas Is Back Kelsey grammer Elizabeth Hurley were great .

The cinematography was very good Philippe Martinez and Mick Davis have done a great job with these movie's and they have a good track record

The movie is fun for the whole family just as well as the first movie

The film uses its budget really well and it's a very nice feel good movie

There's warm moments too and it has a nice pace

It feels like the Christmas Family are becoming a nice stable of the festive season and I would like to see a 3rd movie be made.

I love Kelsey Grammer and I enjoyed Fraser but this is terrible. The casting is all wrong. The 3 kids Don't look young enough to be Kelsey's daughters. Kelsey Grammer is 67 years old and Elizabeth Hurley ,although she looks great ,is 57 years old and is supposed to be his daughter. The youngest daughter is in college . Also, I'm not a fan of Billy Ray Cyrus but , I guess was OK in it. I was looking forward to this Christmas movie but it's a definite pass. I wouldn't waste my time. I just felt the casting was all wrong and I couldn't get beyond that. The story is kind of dumb also. Sadly I cannot recommend this.

The film begins establishing that 57 year old Liz Hurley is mother to a newborn baby.

The grasp on reality just gets further away from this point on.

I picked this film because it was 89 minutes long as 90 minute movies tend to have a good pace and easy to watch. This film felt much, much longer than a compact hour and a half.

Of that 89 minutes, over 10 minutes of it was Billy Ray Cyrus singing various songs from his back catalogue. All the time he is on screen you can't help but stare at his poorly dyed beard.

The writing is poor, characters are paper thing and there doesn't seem to be an awful lot of story.

It's too sentimental to be a jaunty festive comedy, it's too light and vapid to be a meaningful piece of cinema. It's just lots of nothing.

It's a shame, because there are a lot of excellent actors on screen, but everything else about this film is awful.

Elizabeth Hurley, in addition to being a fine actress, is a magnificent beauty who is just a joy to watch and hear. But this "movie" is absolutely dreadful. You will wonder how these actors were convinced to take part in something which has an elementary school feel to it. Mr Cyrus demonstrates why his career crashed and burned after his one-hit-wonder cover of someone else's' song. There is a charisma deficit here. If you find screaming babies being ohhed and ahhed over during cellular phone conversations this might be for you, but if you are a fan of Mr Grammer (as I am), does what he can, but, this is no Fraser.
