Holiday Harmony

This is the best movie ever, but that is my opinion. Some say it's silly rom com but I think it is truly a beautiful film. The chemistry between the cast, it's like no other I have ever seen, and that is what makes the film so perfect. I wonder what would have been of this film if these actors never existed, because not just one them did it for me, they all did. If you have never seen this film, when you do you will understand what I mean. Holiday Harmony looks like it was done from the heart and it feels so real for some reason, like magic- and the soundtrack LOVE IT. Besides the 2 lead actors (and Brooke) the soundtrack makes the film the beauty that it is. As you can tell I am in love with this film, and I know you will be too.

For months I had been wary with HBO max as they continued to put discovery channel trash into my feed. I'm there for quality films of all kinds and budgets, from art house to comic book to holiday rom com. And this one was up to snuff as far as HBO Max goes. Why? It's a cut above. Higher quality writing, acting, singing, etc. HBO always brings quality to the table and this movie was such a breath of fresh air. Script is a taught, well-written romp through a young singer's troubles. Acting is great, way better than typical for this genre, and the singing is off the charts. I had been worried about HBO but it looks like they are back on track. More of this A+ quality please!!

Thank you HBO Max! I love holiday rom coms but most of the ones out there are super low budget garbage. Sometimes they have a famous name from long ago that makes a cameo, in this one the ever amazing Brook effing Sheilds is in the majority of it. And she's amazing. On top Brook you've got the main singer who is very very talented. She's headed straight to the top. The writing is also great. Usually in movies like this, the writing is like an open day-old soda: flat, disgusting, gross, but this is like a newly opened can of coca-cola, fresh, sweet and very bubbly. A lot of humor and wit worked in. Talented kids, a fun story, and of course ,Lady Brook. U can't go wrong. Thanks HBO! MORE PLEASE!!

You should give this holiday rom-com a look. I wasn't expecting much, and had already seen about 6 of these on netflix already, so I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this and how much fun it was. One reason this one stands out is the music. Analeesa Ciprano is amazing and can really carry a tune. If that's really her singing watch out, sky's the limit with that one. Aside from the fun musical asides the movie is just cute and really enjoyable. Brooke Sheilds looks amazing and is still delivering great performances. The rest of the case fits perfectly in the movie. This isn't a superhero movie or james bond but it's a really fun, cute holiday flick with great writing and songs the entire family can really enjoy.

Years back, there was an A-list performer who actually put on his resume (which only casting directors got to see) that he was "the hardest working actor in Hollywood." Watching Holiday Harmony, I felt that, in a genre crammed full of low-budget wannabees cashing in on the season, here finally was an X-Mas movie with somewhat higher ambitions. Slickly produced, and great cinematography. The script by Lauren Swickard -- who somehow managed to also cast herself in a minor role? -- combines three well-worn movie themes (Christmas, music, and the lure of small town life) into a very workable film that holds the attention. Interesting appearance by Brooke Shields who is now at the stage of her career where she plays a cranky small town mother. Annelise Cepero in the lead role is charismatic and knows how to carry a tune. Recommended. ((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer."
