Christmas in Paris

This is a straight up Harlequin Romance Movie and as such it's pretty OK. And I don't mean the Hallmark movies based Harlequin novels. This is right out of of the playbook that produced about 11 or so TV movie romances in the 1990s and early 2000s that Hallmark had nothing to do with. Since I saw this on ION television it really does have that different and old-fashioned approach to a romance. The hero was very attractive and a stereotypical early prototype romance hero: A Rich, Powerful, Mysterious Playboy who is a genius at business. He falls for "normal(ish) girl: beautiful, good, and spunky. it was well-cast and fun. I liked the side story of our hero hating and then reconciling with his biological father(who really looked the part as well) and the asthma angle. For anyone who liked this movie, I urge you to look up these old Harlequin movies some of which are available on You Tube.

A little bit disappointed. Just an average movie. Nice having the real french actor player French character though his accent is super thick. I had to rewind multiple times to understand some of what he was saying. The story never really developed. And there's a few stories in there but it never caught traction. It's like the whole movie was just simple and blah. A little unbelievable how the two main characters so quickly fell in love. Nice message about forgiveness I suppose, though the movie does not cause you to have a true deep feeling either way. Not sure that was really paris? Loved seeing Daphne zuniga her part was too small! Acting was good.

At the heart of this enchanting film is a wealthy French businessman, portrayed by Karl E. Landler, who sweeps the all-American girl, played by the delightful Rebecca Dalton, off her feet and into the romantic splendor of Paris. This film delves into timeless themes of love, identity, and reconciliation, with a poignant subplot that explores the hero's strained relationship with his biological father.

Landler's European charm and suaveness becomes increasingly irresistible as the story unfolds, leaving a lasting impression. His authentic French accent adds a layer of realism that's often missing in similar films, making it an absolute delight for global audiences.

Rebecca Dalton, the spirited protagonist, embodying the classic romantic heroine with grace. The dynamic between them, especially against the backdrop of Paris (?) -even if some scenes are filmed stateside-evokes a sense of old-world romance that feels both nostalgic and wonderfully fresh.

Adding to the film's charm, Daphne Zuniga delivers a standout performance as Dalton's boss, infusing the story with humor and warmth. The subplot involving Landler's reconciliation with his father is deeply touching, adding emotional depth to this otherwise light-hearted narrative, making the film a truly memorable experience.

Still a Fan...

A woman meets a wealthy French businessman and he whisks her away to Paris for a trip. It's nice to see someone not struggling financially on TV for a change. It's fantasy after all But he has some demons about his biological father. A little crisis ensues. They used a real French actor which has good and bad pionts. His accent is real but hard to understand. The girl is pretty. Liked seeing Daphne Zuniga as her boss. This is not Hallmark so it's something different from the usual fare. UPTV usually has some message of forgiveness.

I saw it in UK this week. and was Curious about what those actors have done before - except for Daphne Zuniga of course. Rebecca Dalton soooo Beautiful. love her I ll check out her other films if I can see them on Neftlix or Amazon. Karl Landler's accent so..... romantic :PPPPP. Not sure if I can watch his work I don t speak french. :(((.
