Ele Acredita Em Papai Noel!

I laughed my head off when I read that the two lead characters are married in real life! That explains how two of the oddest looking actors ever, both wound up in the same movie. But it does NOT explain the lack of chemistry! The only thing that explains that, is the fact that they are horrible horrible actors! But honestly I couldn't get past her crazy eyes and his facial expressions and, let's be honest, looks. Also, and I know I'm not the only one to feel this way, I would have believed a romance between our lead male actor and his best male friend more than I believed the actual story that the writer went with. Oh ya, and he IS creepy! Get that little girl away from him!

I agree with the reviewers who felt the male lead was better suited to his male friend! I could not believe him and the female at all as a couple and then read on and find they are married in real life. What?!

I will say this was reasonably entertaining for a Xmas movie. Maybe because he was kind of creepy going on about Santa, his expressions and some of the clothing choices that made him seem like a big baby! It was like watching a car crash. I do think they were channeling Buddy the Elf here. I'm sorry, I would laugh my head off if I was dating a guy who behaved like that (and then run). This guy seems like he's got some mental issues.

Acting is very wooden, but I've certainly seen worse Xmas movies.

The movie was fun, although, a very Hallmark channel type of movie. C'mon, a working girl meets a guy really into Christmas, never done before! (/s) And it was rather predictable, since the scene where Lisa's daughter (who's name I definitely remember /s) gets lost I pretty much predicted the whole movie. The acting was weak,certain parts were very corny, and (no offence), Lisa's eyes annoyed me.

Now's the part where i'll discard all of the problems and full-heartedly defend this movie! The idea is like many Hallmark Christmas movies, but more over the top. And people say that this movie is unrealistic and the idea is stupid, and for that I have one word: So? This is a Christmas movie for gods sake! Who the hell is going to sit here and critically judge a CHRISTMAS movie for crying out loud? The idea is fun and that's whats the only thing that matters in a Christmas movie. Christmas needs to be cheerful, heart-warming, not serious.

I rest my case.

Eurghhh, I really tried what with it being Christmas an all. But i just couldn't get over the following:

1) The main woman character (her eyes) constantly with a shocked expression, was really making my own eyes ache

2) The main guy character, playing the "Boyfriend". A "Boyfriend" who is extremely camp and wears far more make-up than his "Girlfriend"

3) The storyline...euggh, it's just a payday film really isn't it. All been done before, very cheesy, yet very odd, mainly because the characters just don't click as a couple "in love"

Overall, I'd give this a miss. Many classics to watch over the Christmas period instead!

I LOVE a bad Christmas movie. I watch them all with my family who thankfully enjoy them as much as I do but this one is hard to watch. The casting is questionable, there appears to be zero chemistry between the main characters and too much disgusting slurpy drinking, kissing and other sounds. Blegh! ASMR in all the wrong ways. Save yourself and skip this one. Even with a stiff Christmas drink this movie was unwatchable. I could not find one good thing to say about it. Maybe if Mystery Science Theatre got a hold of it they could make it watchable. The cringy expressions the main characters make throughout would be great to hear their comments on.
