Un Noël magique à New York

Right, well from the very cover alone, I figured that the sap would be extraordinarily sticky here in this movie.

Sure, I had never heard about the 2023 movie titled "Christmas Casanova" from writer Shannon Latimer and director Will Bowes. But still, I opted to watch the movie and give it a fair chance, as part of this years Christmas movie marathon. But hey, without any prior knowledge of the movie, I suppose that writer Shannon Latimer had every opportunity to entertain, bedazzle and impress me with the movie's script and storyline.

The storyline was sort of adequate. It was an okay storyline, but it just wasn't particularly Christmassy. And that was sort of disappointing. Yeah, the movie didn't have that traditional, and generic, sappy contents that make up the majority of Christmas movies.

I was actually not familiar with a single actress or actor on the cast list, and believe it or not, but that is actually something that I do enjoy and appeal to me whenever I sit down to watch a movie. The movie was nicely carried by leading actress Kalinka Petrie and leading actor Fuad Ahmed.

"Christmas Casanova" is hardly a Christmas classic, nor is it a movie that I will return to watch a second time. If you're looking for a traditional sugar-coated and sappy Christmas movie, then your effort is better spent elsewhere.

My rating of director Will Bowes's 2023 movie "Christmas Casanova" lands on a bland five out of ten stars.
