Anjo de Natal

I was moving last year, so I didn't really have a Christmas. I didn't even hear about the great GAC migration til last Summer. I'm still catching up.

This Angel Falls movie is probably not one that will become a favorite for most people.

Jessica Lowndes delivers a fine workaholic doctor rediscovering the magic of the season, and even singing a Christmas song.

But the director turning Chad Michael Murray, arguably the most naturally charming actors on the planet, into a creepy robot angel was off-putting to say the least.

There just wasn't enough spark in these characters to energize the plot, and the "couple" spending most of the movie in different scenes made the resolution no big deal There are some good reviews, so some folks like it. That's good.

But I deleted it already.

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.

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.

Really like Jessica lowndes and Chad Nichael Murray but this movie just lacked everything. A shame because I rewatch her other movies. If I didn't favor the performers this might have been a 2.

I know making new Christmas movies is hard but f I had to guess this was no more than a 3-5 day film affair to get it done. What a shame as December bride is magical Christmas ornaments was excellent and re watchable this wasn't.

It's ashamed as I watched twice to make sure and second time was like pulling teeth. These two made another Christmas movie and it was great. This not so much.

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.
