Merry Liddle Christmas

The first temptation is to be very critic about this film. And you are not wrong. It is superficial, chaotic, unrealistic, a salad with too many ingredients salt or pepper, not just well acted. But... . It is a film about family. Not exceptional, maybe not the most realistic but honest. A dog and kids, sisters, grandparents , boyfriend, a TV producer in the worst moment. A sort of romance not very convincing. And Kelly Rowland - not ignoring the contribution of Debbie Morgan - as axis of this very fragile construction. But, in the end, pretty acceptable.

In my case, the motif to be very, very indulgent with this film is the angel of the top of Christmas tree and its story, as resumee of family spirit.

So, a not pretentious but far to be bad, amusing and inspired in few scenes film.

Meh, it gave me exactly what I expected: an easy, uncomplicated, made-for-television holiday movie. If you're tuning in for the romance, skip it - Kelly's love interest is a dud. He's a body delivering lines, not an actor that makes you believe he's actually romantically intrigued. Kelly did great. Overall, it's a Lifetime movie - it gave me what I knew it would & I had no other expectations outside of that. The rating reflects this thought.

This movie could have been good without the typical corny family drama caused by bad kids and a dog and family members who had no respect for someone else's household. It's also hard to appreciate a movie where the characters have an unrealistic "no big deal" type of reaction to the chaos around them.

I really LOVED this movie! Kelly Rowland is adorable and she did an excellent job acting. I also loved her music in the movie. The other actors - Kelly's family members - were awesome, too, and they contributed to a lot of hilarity and hijinks when they descended upon Kelly's beautiful new house! LOL Such a sweet movie, well written, with relatable characters. I'm so glad there is a sequel!

Holidays are a great time to enjoy Christmas romance! Kelly did a great job playing a 35 single living in tech city and bringing her family over for the holidays. Kick back and enjoy.
