A Midnight Kiss

A nice New Year Halmark film.Interesting for the effort of Carlos PenaVega to give a cool character, not just perfect as photographer in Extreme Orient - more as stand up comedian - but the try seems not so bad. Unfortunately, Adelaide Kane seems remain out of her role. And the chemistry is absent, saved, maybe, by the final fireworks. A film like so many others. Easy story, acceptable, with indulgence, performance, imposible cause - and in this case it is just imposible - and the midnight kiss as end of trip. So, after a busy day , a good option.

I think the reviews are really harsh. Its a typical Hallmark film. I don't think Carlos was bad I just think he felt awkward being around another woman honestly. Him and Alexa are really open about their marriage and do literally everything together. Adelaide has done Major Major work so seeing her in a Hallmark film does throw you off. Carlos comes off more Comedian hence the show Big Time Rush so seeing him in Romance films might throw people off also. But I liked it, it was cute. Honestly I think all Christmas movies come off a bit cheesy but that's kind of the point. As cheesy as they are I enjoy them all lol.

I don't know what others were watching, but the three of us watching thought that this had to be the most mismatched lead actors ever. The casting crew should all be fired. Adelaide Kane's character was the best in that she portrayed a person that was NOT interested in her brothers college buddy. When this herkie actor showed up we all said I hope this is not supposed to be her love interest. Unfortunately he was. Some of his poor acting was probably the screenplay and mostly the director who should never have had him play the overconfident party planner who kept acting like he was the planner and she was just the assistant while in truth it was the opposite. I found him to be a very poor actor that thought he should have been the director and tried his best to overshadow the better actress. Anyway, in real life, we believe that her actions spoke how she felt about the pairing and with everyone, her sis-in-law and the client harping about how good looking this dork was made it even harder to swallow. I am writing this because half way through our friends left as they couldn't watch anymore. It being on dvr we watched the rest of the show without them. Totally pathetic for a Hallmark film which we normally enjoy watching with our friends.

I totally agree with "Formula for failure". I struggled through the first movie that featured Carlos PenaVega and his wife.However, I could not make myself watch Love at Sea even though I do like Alexa. They were terrible as a couple in Enchanted Christmas. I tried to watch Midnight Kiss as I do like Adelaide Kane. But, as expected, Carlos ruined this movie as well. He is really a horrible actor and was really surprised to see how much previous work he had done. Since I am a Hallmark Movie junkie I was disappointed that he was cast in one of the Christmas movies, especially to ruin a movie with Adelaide. I would hope Hallmark checks these reviews and think twice before they ruin another movie with casting Carlos. I don't usually write reviews like this but Carlos is so bad I needed to vent my frustration. There are way too many good movies to waste your time on this one.

Adelaide Kane is super pretty above the usual Hallmark standard sweet actress.

She is a party planner tasked with a last minute New Years Eve party for a huge new client. Her brother's college buddy helps her out and they fall in love. He is played by Carlos Pena Vega. The planning gets a bit mundane after a while.

Kudos to Hallmark for showing an interracial romance for a change.
