Una rosa per Natale

A nice romance around creating a float. Not impressive, maybe not real credible but good spices for an old recipe. Seductive and charming in few scenes, it has, in essence, as main characters, the huge bear and the waterfall. And, unfortunatelly, not real much.

Even by Hallmark standards, this film is dreadful. Companies do not send liaisons to oversee the structural designs of parade floats. If they did, it wouldn't be a pompous middle management who conducts international business for the company. The dialogue is just horrible and seems like it was written by an amateur. Rachel Boston must not read this scripts or she is obligated to do whatever Hallmark throws her way. Sad.

It is hugely enjoyable and cute for what it is, and interesting to see the process of the building of the festival float with flowers throughout the whole film. I found it quite enjoyable. James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 12/26/2020

BEWARE OF BOGUS REVIEWS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THAT PRODUCTION. NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 Christmas MOVIES. I HAVE NO AGENDA. I AM FARE ABOUT THESE FILMS.

Andy is a passionate artist whose family has been building Rose Parade floats for generations. When her Dad gets sick, Andy is forced to take the helm and supervise the construction and decoration of their client's float. And to make matters worse, she's saddled with the extra challenge of dealing with a demanding businessman whose company commissioned the float. She learns they are not happy with her at all!

This was the last "Hallmark Christmas Movie for 2016". Even though it premiered in New Years Day 2017.

Now I about cringed when I saw Rachel Boston because I still have nightmares of seeing the film she did called "Holiday High School Reunion". Rachel however is a fine actress and brings her A Game Here. Now the plot is very predictable. It offers nothing exciting. What does work the best in this entire story is that you are rooting for the two leads to hookup

At best, this movie showed the viewer some of the work that goes into preparing a float of the Rose Parade. That may be the most interesting part of this film. The lead actor is quite attractive and did his best in a role that was predictable but still romantic enough to satisfy the Hallmark movie viewer. The most distracting and almost irritating aspect of the film was Rachel Boston's performance. She is attractive, tall, slim, perky. But her acting range is so limited, it made the role too one dimensional..Her lines seem all to be at the same voice pitch and volume..twangy, flat and very loud. Whatever lines she was delivering all sounded too loud..too forced, not at all nuanced. Her delivery is one dimensional as well..through a smile and gritted teeth..She should have modulated her voice..her volume, her range of emotions in her lines. It is lovely to see an actress smile in film, but this actress smiled throughout every scene..so there was no range of emotions visible..

her costars did a great job..Her leading man is quite talented, handsome, romantic..just what a Hallmark movie watcher wants to see. But the lead actress needs some lessons in how to slow down, tone down, let the word s of the script determine her volume and her smile level

sorry..this film had great potential..but it became almost grating to have to watch it with the sound on.

Sorry.
