BA-9964

2 stars for this movie, 1 goes to Kristoffer Polaha who I absolutely love his movies and 1 for the character that plays her niece Ava (Niki Garcia) and 1 for supporting actors. I have to subtract 1 star for the TERRIBLE acting by lead actor Emily Chan (Nadia Hatta) she was so over the top to the point what ever she said or did was not even believable. I sure hope she gets some acting lessons by Hallmark if they want to use her again.

Now regarding the plot, it was ok...sort of but so difficult to enjoy with the lead actor so bad. Not even sure the two were any sort of match for friendship let a lone a romance.

I really enjoyed this movie, I thought the script was interesting and also funny when it needed to be. I was pleased to see so many different characters with such a difference value to the movie. If I were to have really any criticism is that the lead female actor spoke so fast to understand what she was saying. Loved the connection that father and daughter has the love they had from the beginning of the movie right to the end. Will definitely watch again and maybe again. Also being not Jewish I did learn a little about the Jewish faith. Thank you Hallmark for making a Christmas movie with more depth and comedy then the usual pattern movie.

I couldn't even finish watching the movie, first of all the acting was just not believable. Yes they are loud, push and excitable but really over the top. The story line was confusing at times and just not something that was I wanted to try and follow. Like I said I did not finish the movie due to all the above issues I mentioned. I think from now on I will be passing on any movie that has Jackee or Vivica Fox in due to this is not the first movie I had disliked due to these two actors. I did like some of the wardrobe as well as the surrounding area but other than that if you are wanting a loud, over the top confusing movie then by all means watch this movie.
