Enchanted Christmas

I was a fan of the TV show big time rush so I was looking forward to this movie. I was not disappointed.

I think four factors influence the quality of the Halmark Christmas movie.

Was the romance believable? I thought it was here without any huge does of melodrama.

Did it relate to Christmas? I thought the movie was very well done visually and I thought it had some nice family and tradition themes as well. The kid and kids were cute too, so that has to count for something. (the kid also was not really the matchmaker which I enjoyed because I find that plot creepy generally) What about the minor characters and subplots? Not many subplots here, but I thought the bit parts were well played and added to the movie.

Four, was it funny? Not so much. It was sweet in parts but not really funny.

So all told I felt it was a better than average Hallmark Christmas movie.

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.

"Enchanted Christmas" is a Romance movie in which we watch a widow returning to her hometown with her daughter in order to renovate a lodge. There she will have to face her past and reconsider some of her choices.

I have to admit that I did not have high expectations from this movie and I just watched it to spend my time and nothing more. The direction which was made by Terry Cunningham was average but he tried to create the Christmas feeling that we all want to see during these days. Despite that, it was obvious that "Enchanted Christmas" had a low budget but the result was not the best. The interpretations of Alexa PenaVega who played as Laura Trudeau, Carlos PenaVega who played as Ricardo Archuleta and Rene Rivera who played as Manuel Montoya were good for this movie but they could not save it. Lastly, I have to say that "Enchanted Christmas" is an average Christmas movie and I do not recommend it to anyone because I believe you can find better Christmas movies to watch.

At first this movie was heading in the wrong direction....but it does come around to being likable. Alexa Panvega is super hot...but not on the same level as Chelsie Hightower. Hightower makes the movie for me. Blonde in a leather jacket...Boom! I kept wondering how is a fountain working in the winter time?

I watched because Alexa and Carlos Penavega were the starring actors.

A real life couple that previously competed on Dancing with the Stars, so you know they have the dancing chops!

Cute Christmas film, a solid six on the scale.
