Well Suited for Christmas

This movie had everything I like in a movie: Diverse cast, good script, nice costumes, good setting. I really liked the plot. Usual these movies are filled with meaningless fluff about someone going home to a small town and falling for an old flame and deciding to give up their lives to stay in the small town after a week or so.

Not this movie. It's about a strong accomplished main character who decides to support a meaningful cause that ties back to the other main character's past. A real positive message and I found it refreshing.

In fact there were positive messages weaved throughout their story. I will definitely watch it again. Also, I hope to see the main characters in other movies.

This is a Lifetime movie, I thought it would be better. It started with a poor script and went downhill from there. Mercedes de la Zerda isn't a strong enough actress to carry the lead role, she's not that good and she's not believable as a successful designer heading a major design house. There are so many better Latino/Latina cast productions. I liked some of the supporting cast, but they were burdened by a bad script and a really bad story line. I've seen Franco Lo Presti in other films and he's good, but better with a story set in the outdoors. Surprised Lifetime didn't film or buy a better movie.

From I saw that this was a lifetime film I didn't expect much. The commercials already made me roll my eyes and what I saw confirmed absolutely everything I expected.

I only tuned in for 3 minutes, during the scene where the not so good looking male lead was having his measurements taken by the lead actress who was trying her darnedest to come off as bashful and trying to hide her desire for him. I honestly felt like I was watching a scene from the campy soap opera Passions! Like seriously?

This must have been lifetime's poor attempt at making their version of "lights, camera, Christmas" and they failed miserably! Don't waste your time watching this amateurish acting.

Fashion designer is assigned to create a tuxedo for a mysterious millionaire behind a well-known social media website known around the world. Attraction and chemistry eventually build not in the ways that follow the standard holiday script, which was a breath of fresh air! I was happily surprised.

Overall, well done for this genre of film. Just enough light-heartedness. Just enough conflict. Just enough to make you nervous if they'll be together or not, with a REALISTIC script. Was rooting for them both by the END! Again, a well-written script, "well-suited" holiday film for those that love light romance and fun.

Watch it!

This is my first Lifetime Christmas movie of 2022, and it's a winner. The focus is on the enemies-to-lovers romance of a hot entrepreneur bachelor who only wears black and an up-and-coming men's fashionwear designer whose signature is bold color.

This is a smart script. The conflict is immediate and seemingly insurmountable when Ms Color is assigned to dress Mr Black for a charity runway show. Both of them have a lot riding on it. Along the way, these two people at loggerheads learn more about each other and start to fall in love.

The foster kid angle was wonderful and her parents were delightful. There's something about a character who grew up without a family finally finding a family to belong to that adds an unmatched level of feels. This is a trope not uncommon in romance novels but I haven't seen it in a movie before.

Add on some lovely exterior scenes of NYC at Christmas, and gorgeous clothes, and you have a keeper.
