Un Noël câlin

Julie Gonzalo's excellent acting skills are put to good use in this pretty amusing Hallmark type offering. She was very funny indeed. The young actress, Alexandra Peters playing Myra was phenomenal. She put to shame most of the kid actors that frequent these type of movies. Eleven years old when she made this, she is now grown up to a very pretty woman. I wish her all the success she deserves. The likable Ally Mills as the older neighbor looks great: She hasn't changed a bit and her chemistry with her husband, played by the Oscar nominated Bruce Davison was every thing one would hope for. I really enjoyed this, and may seek out the 3rd movie in the series as it appears to have some talent, including Miss Peters attached to it. They all looked like they were having a great time.

BEWARE OF BOGUS REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. TRUST ME THIS FILM IS TERRIBLE. NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 400 Christmas MOVIES. I HAVE NO AGENDA. I AM FARE.

This film is a sequel to "A Golden Christmas" and if you liked the original then you will like this one as well. In this follow up film Rod and Katherine are enjoying their retirement in Florida. They've made friends with their new neighbor, Lisa, whose three golden retriever puppies give the couple's dog, Jake, three new playmates. But when the retrievers take off during a walk with Lisa and interrupt a wedding proposal, Lisa is mortified to discover the proposer is her ex, David.

The casting is fine and the plot hums along but at times it just feels like everyone is just going through the motions without much depth in some of the scenes.

My favorite scene in the whole film however is the final scene. I thought it was creative and inspiring.

I put this movie on one day just to get a Christmas atmosphere in the house while doing other things. I had no real plan to pay much attention to it. But I wound up getting a lot more involved in it than I expected. It's funny and touching in parts and the characters are interesting with pretty good acting. It has some really beautiful and well-written scenes especially when the older neighbors try to help the young friends sort out their feelings. The movie even has some good life lessons. Having said that, I have to say this is not really a Christmas movie but a romance that happens to take place in December. Still, I highly suggest it to everyone even when it's not December.

It is Christmas time, in sunny Florida, the movie takes place on coast of Florida. The movie would be considered a holiday, comedy, and romantic movie.

When Lisa moves to Florida with her three puppies, she becomes instant friends with her upstairs neighbor who also has a golden retriever. While the husband of the upstairs neighbor becomes friends with David. When Lisa sees David, she ends up telling Katherine about her past relationship with David. When Lisa runs into David on the street, he is proposing to his girlfriend, but Lisa's dogs get loose and David looses his great aunts wedding ring. Every time that Lisa sees David things do not go so well for David. The girlfriend absolutely hates Lisa, and blames her for everything. Lisa must figure out if she loves David.

The acting in this is very good. the main girl is now one of the main actors in the new television show Dallas. while the little girl is also really good. she does not over act, nor does she underact. although the script is not perfect the actors and actresses are what make the movie perfect.

This movie is one of my favorite Christmas movies, I make sure I watch it every year. it is not like the other Christmas movies, although it is based on the same things that most Christmas movies have. absolutely love it!!!!

This story isn't full of all the usual stuff. But there's really no surprises. It's kind of a mishmash of embarrassing situations often caused by the dogs. Lisa, Kelly and David talk a lot of nonsense that sends the story around in circles with David committed to Kelly but his heart isn't in it. Kelly is pure annoying. Lisa is wimpy. I didn't see any chemistry between Julie Gonzalo and K.C. Clyde. The only thing that makes sense is that Lisa and David really are friends.

The story with the two kids is at least as interesting as Lisa and David. The girl is over the top as far as understanding things. The dogs are the other highlights.
