Une soirée inoubliable pour Noël

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.

6.5 stars. A cute premise for a movie that turned out better than I thought. Adeline Kane was wonderful as Mia and truly made the movie what it was. Unfortunately they casted Carlos Penavega opposite her and his acting isn't the best. The movie lost half a star towards the end of the movie where something happened just like in two previous Hallmark movies this season.

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.

6/10 - a mediocre New Years Eve party planner romance from Hallmark
