Merry Textmas

I enjoyed the acting and the storyline was cute. But I found the subtitles very hard to read. They were in white and blended into the background much of the time. I had to pause or rewind at times to try to follow along to the important plot points. I would watch this one again next season if they changed to an easier to read format.

I did enjoy the storyline. The way the family met Alex was cute and felt like something that could really happen. I also enjoyed the family dynamic. Especially the relationship between the main character and her grandmother. It's worth a view just be prepared, this is not a movie that allows you to multi-task!

I sort of fell on it by accident and took a chance, and I was glad I did. Overall, I think Merry Textmas was the right mixture of entertainment, cheesiness, and Christmas family spirit. I really enjoyed Ariana's performances and her chemistry with Rodrigo was believable and fun. I enjoyed the Spanish-- it added a ton of realism to the entire project.

The supporting characters all did a great job and supported the leads very well. I would love to see Hallmark include much more cultural diversity in their future movies. Discovering this Latino culture added power and love to the experience.

It's definitely a Christmas flick I'd recommend.

I've never experienced a film with almost constant background music and incessant use of chimes and tinkling sounds. I almost had to turn my TV off not unlike another reviewer, but for this reason alone. These chimes almost drove me to madness. They play while they're talking, completely throughout the scene and during transitions. When you think they'll end they don't. If I never hear a chime or twinkle again it'll be too soon.

BUT, it's a cute movie and a nice watch. Perfect light movie for Christmas time, but not completely silly or corny. Compelling characters and you feel invested in watching the relationship build!

I didn't like it. I really struggled with the subtitles cause they were in white. So a lot of the plot that I needed to follow was missed. However, I do like that they were speaking in Spanish just wish I could read it all. I also didn't want to turn my tv cc on, it would've just been too much.

It also felt like I was watching a low budget Lifetime film. I just think production and acting could have been better. Not sure if I bought the leads chemistry. Storyline was way more far fetched than others.

I watched to cross off my Christmas list. I've watched some over. This would be a Not Recommend.

I tried..I really tried to finish this movie but I just couldn't get into it. It's not often that I find one of these Christmas movies that I just can't finish, I like watching them and I'm usually able to at least finish the ones that aren't that good. However, this one..I just couldn't do it. The main female character gabby, was just not likable. It is a slightly different plot from other lifetime Christmas movies; it has the same overall falling in love theme, just a different execution. As other people said, if you don't know Spanish, the subtitles can be difficult to read as they are small and written differently that other subtitles or captions. Overall, this just not a good movie, imo.
