Better Late Then Never

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

At 1 hour 19 minutes and 44 seconds she walks thru the curtain onto the stage. She is wearing a blue suit on the backstage side of the curtain. She emerges on the other side wearing a red dress with no time in between to change. Christmas magic or blooper?Alexa is wonderful in this movie, but is miss-paired with her husband/co-star Carlos. I sincerely hope they have magic and sparks in their real relationship, but that was sadly missing for their onscreen characters. It was almost like Major League (Alexas) vs Little League (Carlos). It was a good story but Alexa had to carry the film by herself.

I actually had big expectations about this movie. It sounded promising and maybe not different from what Hallmark does but maybe it would be average. I'm a little disappointed.While I liked the movie I would say that it is mainly because of Alexa, who, as usual, made a movie charming. I also find Laura and Ricardo the cutest but that is all thanks to Alexa and Carlos.But the rest of the movie? It is within average and maybe a little lower. Predictable boyfriend. Predictable ending. The acting of a few people was... not good. The script had no "laugh out loud" moments, and I did feel it was lacking something else. However, the child was adorable.To sum up, I liked the movie: I liked Alexa, Christmas and Carlos. In that order. But I was expecting more.

I wanted to like it, but it took me 4 times to watch it through because it was soooooo boring..... and predictable. The acting was just bleh.... the story was just, meh....... skip this one. It will be 2 hours you will never get back, that you could've been watching something better. Two thumbs way down.

I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 400 Christmas MOVIES.BEWARE OF BOGUS REVIEWS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. NOW I HAVE NO AGENDA! I AM HONEST! I REVIEW Christmas MOVIES AS A WAY TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT I HAVE SEEN!Interior designer Laura returns to Utah to spearhead the renovation of an old hotel in time for the annual Christmas Eve show run by Ricardo, her ex-boyfriend and dance partner. When Laura steps in to dance in the finale with Ricardo, she is pulled between her job, her family, and more. The runnig Christmas theme in this film is "Christmas Magic". The magic is in a fountain and people's wishes seem to be coming true. This is a cute little film that offers that you can go home again and that may not be a bad thing after all. Its nothing great but it gives us new Hallmark Leading Lady. Her name is Alexa Pena Vega, A one time child actor who burst onto the scene with the "Spy Kids" films. Now an adult she proves handles this role with charm and ease. If she wasn't good the film might not of been watchable!
