Paris Christmas Waltz

There was a lot said when this movie was announced . Social media was 100% convinced it was for hallmark after all they made The Christmas Waltz and since this is a sequel it is for Hallmark. When Great American Family announced it was for them the fans of hallmark trashed the movie without even seeing it. This movie is the best Christmas movie out of all the networks. Jen and Matthew were perfect together, their singing, their dancing and especially their chemistry was off the charts. Great American Family has step up their game this year every Christmas movie is better than the week before. If you are not watching you are kissing out.

Last year was a mess for Christmas movies. What with GAC raiding the Hallmark cupboard in 2022, everyone was down last year. This year it's finally settling down and GAC and Hallmark are both doing some decent work this season's Christmas rom coms.

That's what this is, a Christmas Rom Com. It isn't meant to be an academy award winning film. These never are. Hallmark or GAC doesn't produce these films. Look at the names of the production companies, the names of the screen writers, the names of the casting directors, the names of the producers and executive producers. They are interchangeable. They all do movies for both. Does anyone really think the production staff gives these movies the same amount of time that goes into a feature film or a TV movie? Of course not. Each production company is doing maybe 10 of these each year.

One viewer's trash is another viewer's treasure. I love Jen Lilly. I though she was good in this movie. She dances extremely well. She sings well. It's somewhat of a musical but not really. Matthew Morrison is good in his role. Yes, both are not song and dance actors but the dances are extremely well done. Especially more so considering the time restraints they had in doing the movies. Yes Jen Lilly whines. All the female leads do a bit of that in these movies when they don't think the romance is going to work out. Or they get angry and stomp off. Again, it's a formulaic rom com. Two thirds through the movie is when every one of these movies has the romance fall apart.

SO give them all a break, it's a feel good Christmas movie.

Dancing actually being done by the actors, a rarity now days. Black Swan you say??? Did you actually SEEE Portman doing a single dance step, the answer is no. Every 'dance' scene with her shows her upper body, or someones legs, but NEVER a full on complex ballet manoeuvre.

This movie has good acting, it has a variety of 'sets', the actors are actually dancing (more than once) in various settings. The manner and reason in which they hook up is realistic. When she 'auditions' it is a no pressure situating in which she believes she is just enjoying dancing, which is what the 'scout' is on the look out for.

I would have liked more actual dance training scenes with less drama in them. At the end of the day there was too much drama

The ending dance was nice

My favorite dance movie is the original 'shall we dance' (1996) with subtitles.

That being said, this is worth a watch.

So many Christmas movies to watch. Many so so, others not to bad. This one was fun and I enjoyed the dancing. I like Jen Lilly ! She usually very upbeat and sweet. The scenes were so beautiful. I recommend this one. It is kinda like 2022 Paris Waltz with Lacy Chabert. But still different. Matthew Morrison has always been a good actor in musical productions. He played a really good part. Their chemistry was good too! I'm planning on watching it again. There have been some good Christmas movies this year. Maybe better writers. So I gave this one a 8...I need more words to post this...lol! Dancing 💃 ball room! Christmas 🎄 more dancing🕺 lol 😂

I liked a Paris Christmas Waltz. I'm not usually a fan of the dancing or singing movies but this one I liked. It was nice to see Matthew Morrison play a part that didn't involve Royalty or an accent. I love Jen Lilly. These 2 were perfectly paired in this movie. I didn't think there was a lot of chemistry between them but I loved watching them dance. They filmed this movie in Paris and in Romania (I think). The Paris scenes were beautiful. They way the danced in front of the Eiffel Tower was beautiful. GAC did good with this movie. It was fun, playful, and a beautiful location. There wasn't a "dramatic" misunderstanding. Watch it for the fun dancing.
