Even though this movie has a plot that we are familiar with, I did not know what it was going to do with the idea or how it was going to be executed. This movie is a standard bad movie, which was interesting for me to watch in the original Spanish language with English subtitles on Netflix.
The acting in the movie is ok but could have been better, even though they were doing the best they could with what they were given. The main character starts out unlikable, which is understandable, but he starts to get annoying and hard to watch as the movie goes on.
When the movie started, I was confused by what they were starting with and how it was being shown, but also because it did not fit with the rest of the movie. The other characters will at times be fine but also give weird and unlikable performances that I did not like.
There is one character in the movie I thought was weird and was annoyed when it looked like he was messing with the main character for no reason. When the ending came, I did not feel a progression in the main character on him liking Christmas more and treating his family better because of how it wrapped up in the end.
I did not like this movie that much but at least they tried something different, but it did not work out that well. I will not recommend this Christmas movie when you should watch much better Christmas movies.
