Christmas in Paradise

The plot is fine enough. The kids play stereotyped roles: the acerbic teen, the do-gooder, the extreme introvert, and the social butterfly. The acting is pretty decent. The parents are seasoned, respectable actors... All things considered, the movie is fine - it's a lifetime Christmas movie, what can you expect? But the cinematography is awful. There are way too many split-screen transitions. It's like the person putting this together just discovered this type of transition and thinks it works for everything and then someone came in and talked them down from using it to switch between EVERY shot to just 90% of them.

I LOVE LOVE this movie. It's a nice family movie. There is not a lot of violence, cursing, sex. That makes for an excellent family movie. We need more movies like this one. The movie has class and shows that people can be happy again even after the hardest hit emotions. It may be centered around Christmas but I would watch it anytime. And watching Collin Ferguson also makes it SO WORTH IT!! Very nice on the eyes!!

I have watched this movie every time it comes on TV and I will continue to do that until they FINALLY sell it to the public. I know that a lot of people share my want to have this movie available for purchase. I do not understand why it is not being offered.

It is so refreshing to see a movie that has realistic characters and a plot that is so pleasant. Well written, great cast and a beautiful setting.

It reminded me of a "Brady Bunch" scenario in some ways. Both the single parents in the movie were very close to their children and cared that they had a child that was hurting. They were both trying desperately to reach out to their children and bring them to an understanding and acceptance of the situation they were in, one because of death and the second a divorce.

The "villian" ex-wife did not get her way in this movie as in so many movies we see today.

I wish all writers would give us the kind of movies that Lifetime is showing this month.

I was honestly just so confused the entire time. I wasted the night of Christmas Day directing and dreading my time watching this movie. From the awkward camera angles and odd shots to the seemingly random and awkward dialogue, not to mention the storyline was kinda everywhere and nothing is ever actually resolved by the end. You hate to see it

This movie is a little gem. Three nice little boy-girl pairings between adults, 17 yr olds and 12 yr olds makes it interesting on different levels. Not really a dull moment in this movie. Good drama and emotion throughout. The best scene is a spanish/english duet of Silent Night- really beautiful. The setting is Puerto Rico where Spanish is spoken.

I have really become a Colin Ferguson fan and he is his typical great. The female parent was also real good. The movie attempted to make something magical about the 3 Kings, but it really didn't succeed. There was enough good drama in the story to make it worthwhile.
