Siempre es Navidad

With Christmas 365 and a cute dog, I thought this would be a regular all-age festive TV movie. However there is too much emphasis on the characters fancying the lead guy, so it is a bit awkward for kids etc. Also there is more intense kissing and even undressing than usual. I understand the context as it is spoofing reality TV etc but I'm not sure it really fits this style of movie. The ending IS typical and there are some nice moments along the way - especially the frank conversations - but we wouldn't watch again and will be cautious when choosing what to watch next from this company / cast. One last surprise - the end credits song is beautiful, but I wasn't expecting the religious element as nothing else in the movie is. I guess maybe it ties in with the charity theme.

I liked the story line and the lead actor but there was no obvious chemistry between the two leads. And the actress, well...she should stick to being the villoness; she always has a look of being devious and hateful about her. Perhaps they can remake this movie with a different lead actress.

Pumped in snow, wearing winter clothes in California, and just because the word "Christmas" is said as often as I blink my eyelids does not make this a Christmas themed film. The lead actress and actor show off their chiselled stomachs a few times during the movie which doesn't exactly harken of angels singing, but may be more appropriate with a stripper's rock song.

The romance between the two lead actors looks about as real as anything in the film but what does that have to do with Chritsmas?

I give this Lifetime film a 3 out of 10 rating

TV producer Sophie Worthy (Chelsea Hobbs) is on thin ice after some recent fumbles. Her last chance may be making a reality TV star out of Will Saunders (Christopher Russell). He celebrates Christmas all year long.

The guy is super hot. It makes sense for him to be in a Lifetime Christmas movie. He is a little too casual for his own good. The role may work better with a more energetic Santa-like character. I can imagine a guy who works overtime to give gifts to children even if it's not Christmas time. This concept could be expanded to something so much more heartwarming. I just don't think that he would be good TV. They could edit a fun promo, but it's impossible to edit the whole show that way.

I read the book and knew what to expect, this movie made it justice, it was just as the book in the adaptation department, we know not all the book can fit on film so the general and the most important parts where there, it's an enjoyable Christmas movie Hallmark alike but a higher rating.
