Un Noël près de toi

Loved it. From beginning to end. Loved Vanessa. Total charming.

We've watched all the Christmas movies this season to date. However, this one is boring and cheesy even by holiday movie standards. I wish Lifetime and Hallmark would make fewer movies but have better scripts with better actors (w/o hideous facelifts please) and competent direction. And for god's sake, quit spraying deciduous trees with fake snow!

A rekindling of an old romance makes a typical story with bit of a dog thing thrown in. He is a vet and she is a lawyer who moved away. The pushy family is quite funny. They fall in love again as they look for her missing dog.

There is some diversity included in this holiday movie here. The lead actress Vanessa Lachey is half Filipino. There is a same sex couple in town.

With the amount of stress and uncertainty that is going in the world right now (COVID19), this was a nice film to watch...even in April. It's what I would consider a fluffy movie. No major drama, no nudity and no swearing. It's a film where it shows a community really taking care of each other and loving each other. Sweet film! Side note: Someone had mentioned in their review that the movie showed two married men and because of that, it was not a family friendly movie. I can attest that it does show a lot of married couples who love each other so, if you're cool with that, great! Again, sweet film.

It was okay until the introduced the 2 married men. I guess Lifetime feels they need to include homosexuals in all their Christmas movies now.

Skip this one.
