Una bugia per amore

First, let me admit I'm not Jewish so I can't truly understand the objections some would have to this movie. I'm guessing many Gentile families might go overboard to celebrate Hanukkah if they wanted to make their daughter's "boyfriend" feel at home. Yet, based on the comments of a local radio host, a guy who is Jewish and loves family-friendly Hallmark movies, he loved the humor in this movie. Like him, I laughed out loud more than once. I thought the chemistry between the two leading actors was believable. I loved Bruce Boxleitner's "Walter" and his harrumphs of disapproval. Look for the humor in the story; a step above the stereotype. The cast is charming.

This was by far my favorite hallmark Christmas movie 2019, and one of the best ever. It's both funny and full of love, warmth and holiday cheer. All the actors play their roles very well and the story is perfect. I also loved the fact that they celebrated Christmas as well as Hanukkah. I hope they'll make a sequel of this movie in 2020 - I so want to know how the storyline of these two continues.

Hallmark scores high with Holiday Date. The entire cast makes the movie a joy to watch. Lots of fun, laughter and a greater understanding that the season has lots to celebrate.

Make sure you put this movie on your to watch list. Leaves you smiling.

The first temptation about a Hallmark film is to define it as nice. Obvious, if the subject of film is Christmas. In this case , lovely can be more precise. For Matt Cohen job and, off course, for fine ... meet of Christmas and Hanukkah. Yes, it is the expected comfortable film. But not only. It is amusing, it has inspired twists, it is seductive, touching and ...not so bad. Predictable, off course, but charming in just good way. So, lovely. And just lovely.

While premise was not original, this movie was delightful. The acting by all was solid especially Matt Cohen and Bruce Boxleitner each who made me chuckle through out. There was good chemistry among the whole cast and the celebration of different holiday traditions was touching. The movie was very cute and sweet.
