Hope for the Holidays

Bad acting, cliche plot, mundane writing. Other than that it was fantastic. I'll never get that hour and a half back. I've seen lousy Hallmark style films before, but this one lowers the bar to an unprecedented level. Having written that, it does make an attempt to inspire people with good feelings about humanity.

Hope for the Holidays is a beautiful, touching and heartwarming film. The entire cast was wonderful, especially Sally Kirkland who really shined in this story. This is wonderful holiday movie that the whole family will enjoy. Have plenty of tissues on hand because this story is very moving. I highly recommend it!

Wow, where to start. I knew this movie masterpiece was going to be a tear jerker, I did not know however that Robert Lasardo charter 'Mouse Sanchez' would have me forgetting that I was watching a movie. Mr. Lasardo is such a powerful actor. We need to see more of this brilliant soul. Iconic Sally Kirkland, what can I possibly say about a living legend that has not already been said. Mind-blowing to note this is Director Ricky Borba Directorial debut. He seems so seasoned. I can not even begin to imagine where he pulled from when I read 'Hope for the Holidays' is life imitating art. Thank you Robert 'Mouse' Lasardo for pulling out all the stops, amazing job sir.

Do you know how many times a movie will be pretty good but then it seems they really don't know how to end it? I've seen that so many times with movies that I have watched! "Hope for the Holidays" was, for me, just the opposite! During the film, I thought it was just ok because it didn't seem to "roll out" all that smoothly and the acting was just ok. But at the end, everything came together! I even spotted someone who looked like an older "Todd Bridges" and I looked up the cast and it was him! I would definitely recommend this flick!

I kicked off 2020 Christmas movies with Hope for the Holidays. So glad that I did! With memorable performances by Doug Hutchison and Robert LaSardo, this film was a heart warming, well paced watch that inspires hope and forgiveness.

Take 90 minutes and give this movie a watch!
