Christmas in Paradise

First, It is nice and not too heavy and had its sweet moments.

I honestly love me some Elizabeth Hurley- and Kelsey Grammer but 1) the casting in this was ( I'm gonna say it) just weird. Elizabeth Hurley- is Kelsey's daughter ? And she a newly pregnant mom? She looks amazing true but quite the stretch. The youngest daughter is ( I could be wrong about this) recently out of college? Okay so I guess we're suppose to use our creative mind- EH has a baby a little later in life. Ok. The youngest daughter went back to college or whatever but none of them barely look young enough to be his daughters? Billy Ray was Billy Ray- decent job all the way through but this was just a hard one to watch for me I love Christmas movies and am good with mushy or sappy but this was just a bit off and odd.

I love Kelsey Grammer and I enjoyed Fraser but this is terrible. The casting is all wrong. The 3 kids Don't look young enough to be Kelsey's daughters. Kelsey Grammer is 67 years old and Elizabeth Hurley ,although she looks great ,is 57 years old and is supposed to be his daughter. The youngest daughter is in college . Also, I'm not a fan of Billy Ray Cyrus but , I guess was OK in it. I was looking forward to this Christmas movie but it's a definite pass. I wouldn't waste my time. I just felt the casting was all wrong and I couldn't get beyond that. The story is kind of dumb also. Sadly I cannot recommend this.

I really loved this movie. It was funny, heartfelt and fun. I really enjoy Kelsey Grammer's work and was happy to have come across this little gem.

I know many people have said that this film is lame, boring or unworthy of your attention but looking beyond the corniness is a wonderful movie filled with love, emotion and family.

Their were many emotional moments in this film that almost made me cry and others that made me smile.

For those of you who have seen this movie once, twice or fifty times or even seeing this for the first time please give it a chance and I know you'll love this film.

Liz Hurley just had a baby in this movie... Never do anybody mention that she is close to 60! And she certainly looks it, even if they try hard to make her look younger.

If you like Billie Ray Cyrus, you might enjoy 7% of the film, otherwise, stay clear of it! The script is thin an unbeliveable, the acting is poor, the plot doesn't exist, so giving it two stars is based on a few glimps of decent Kelsey Grammer acting.

When Billie Ray is playing and singing, he is backed by bands and choirs, even when he is alone. He doesn't move his hand, and still plays the guitar.

The movie does talk about illness, serious enough, but I can see a thousand ways to do it better!

First, it's creepy because those of us that know Elizabeth Hurley barely ages (partially good genes and the rest plastic surgery I suppose) and she keeps calling Kelsey Grammar who is only 10 years older than her IRL daddy (every other sentence when she is talking to him). He keeps saying "my daughter". It's odd! Billy Ray is in what looks like an Amish Willie Nelson wig. That's in the beginning with the braids, but it looks more normal after he lets it down. It made me laugh because I've met BRC and he actually get tired of ABH. For me it was just hard to watch because if the creepiness. On another note, I do love all of the actors.... In other things.
