Christmas in Paris

A woman meets a wealthy French businessman and he whisks her away to Paris for a trip. It's nice to see someone not struggling financially on TV for a change. It's fantasy after all But he has some demons about his biological father. A little crisis ensues. They used a real French actor which has good and bad pionts. His accent is real but hard to understand. The girl is pretty. Liked seeing Daphne Zuniga as her boss. This is not Hallmark so it's something different from the usual fare. UPTV usually has some message of forgiveness.

At the heart of this enchanting film is a wealthy French businessman, portrayed by Karl E. Landler, who sweeps the all-American girl, played by the delightful Rebecca Dalton, off her feet and into the romantic splendor of Paris. This film delves into timeless themes of love, identity, and reconciliation, with a poignant subplot that explores the hero's strained relationship with his biological father.

Landler's European charm and suaveness becomes increasingly irresistible as the story unfolds, leaving a lasting impression. His authentic French accent adds a layer of realism that's often missing in similar films, making it an absolute delight for global audiences.

Rebecca Dalton, the spirited protagonist, embodying the classic romantic heroine with grace. The dynamic between them, especially against the backdrop of Paris (?) -even if some scenes are filmed stateside-evokes a sense of old-world romance that feels both nostalgic and wonderfully fresh.

Adding to the film's charm, Daphne Zuniga delivers a standout performance as Dalton's boss, infusing the story with humor and warmth. The subplot involving Landler's reconciliation with his father is deeply touching, adding emotional depth to this otherwise light-hearted narrative, making the film a truly memorable experience.

Still a Fan...

I loved the plot, but it somehow felt rushed. The ending happened all at once, when in reality, it would have taken longer to get to those points, both with the engagement and his dad. I can get with a fast engagement if it's believable, but the chemistry just didn't sell it.

I saw it in UK this week. and was Curious about what those actors have done before - except for Daphne Zuniga of course. Rebecca Dalton soooo Beautiful. love her I ll check out her other films if I can see them on Neftlix or Amazon. Karl Landler's accent so..... romantic :PPPPP. Not sure if I can watch his work I don t speak french. :(((.

Now, for starters, I would like to say that I am all for the Hallmark/Lifetime formula. It works! This film does not. It is so boring that it actually became confusing at times because I had trouble focusing for more than 30 second intervals. The characters are not even two-dimensional. They have no personality traits besides "bad relationship with dad" or "dead mom," so the "deeper" themes that they were going for fall flat. The decorations in the background clash, but even by themselves, they are ugly (see poorly painted wooden snowflake things on barn wall). Furthermore, the audacity to call a movie Christmas in Paris and a) have most of it take place in Montana, and b) not even shoot in Paris, is astounding. I wish that this had been a soulless Christmas movie like Hallmark or Lifetime would put out, but it isn't. Instead, it feels like my soul has also been crushed.
