‘Christmas With You’ (2022) – Netflix Movie – Review: A Very Sweet Feel-Good Season Movie
Image
Christmas With You is a romcom starring Aimee Garcia and Freddie Prinze Jr. It is directed by Gabriela Tagliavini.

A young woman who has it all, health, wealth and success, and yet is still a bit lost. However, thanks to Christmas she will recover the true Yuletide spirit in the most traditional way. Does it sound familiar?

Premise

Angelina is a pop star who feels burned-out, and despite it all decides to grant a young fan’s wish in a small-town New York, where she not only finds the inspiration to revitalize her career but also a shot at true love.

Movie Review

New York is so generous in film, that includes the most used clichés, especially, when it comes to the Christmas theme. So if we add to that a music star who has lost the Christmas feel, we have the perfect premise for a season movie.

When it...

‘Christmas with You’ Review: Freddie Prinze Jr.’s Netflix Holiday Rom-Com Will Make You Feel Nothing
Image
It’s been 18 years since Freddie Prinze Jr. made his last “Scooby-Doo” appearance, but the beloved ’90s teen star has still yet to solve the mystery of how to be a convincing actor. Not to sound like a total Scrooge, but Netflix’s “Christmas with You” is such a woefully by-the-numbers approach to the holiday rom-com that it forgets the most important ingredient: it even lacks the spirit of Christmas itself.

In Gabriela Tagliavini’s film, Prinze stars as Miguel, a single dad music teacher whose talented singer daughter Cristina (Deja Monique Cruz) uploads a rendition of pop star Angelina’s (Aimee Garcia) hit track on Instagram. Angelina’s own flailing music career hinges on a Christmas hit, all the better to mimic Mariah Carey’s career (this is an actual reference in the movie) but Angelina just can’t tap into the holiday spirit, as she’s reminded at...

‘Christmas With You’ Review: Freddie Prinze Jr. Returns to Rom-Coms in This Holiday Treat
Image
As sweet, sticky and snappy as a candy cane, “Christmas with You” provides a refreshing, sugary boost to any Netflix subscriber’s cinematic diet. This holiday offering, centered on a burnt-out pop star searching for creative inspiration and finding love, welcomes its co-star Freddie Prinze Jr. back to rom-coms, a genre from which he’s been absent for the past two decades. It also delivers unexpected seasonal delights with authentic, universal appeal. The ease with which it packages comedic hijinks and poignancy allows specifics of Latin American culture to shape and broaden its genuine emotional impact. And what a lovely gift that turns out to be.

Recording artist Angelina (Aimee Garcia) has been conquering the pop charts for decades, but finds herself stuck at a creative crossroads. The industry at large and her record producer Barry (Lawrence J. Hughes) are determined to pit her against label-mate/ingénue Cheri (Nicolette Stephanie Templier), who has stronger songs,...

Aimee Garcia & Freddie Prinze Jr. in Romance 'Christmas With You'
Image
"I really think this could be the one, Mo." "The song, or the music teacher?" Netflix has revealed an official trailer for a schmaltzy holiday romance called Christmas With You, one of their latest Hallmark Channel offerings. The streamer continues to make "content" that is generic and easily digestible, resulting in a lot of Hallmark-esque low quality films that will be forgotten as soon as the credits roll. What is this one about? Seeking inspiration for a hit holiday song, and feeling career burn out, a pop star named Angelina grants a young fan's Christmas wish to meet her — and finds a shot at true love along the way. This seems like a rip-off mash-up of the plots from both Marry Me and Notting Hill previously, both of which are much better films than this. Christmas With You stars Aimee Garcia as Angelina, Freddie Prinze Jr. as her "music teacher" love interest,...

‘The Willowbrook’ Trailer Invites Influencers for Recovery
Image
From Producer by Jeffrey Reddick, creator of the Final Destination franchise, enter The Willowbrook this November.

In the film…

A renowned wellness influencer invites one of her recently overdosed followers to seek recovery at her small-town manor. Once the follower arrives, she realizes the dark world existing within the manor is not what she–nor millions of others–perceived from the internet. With a gripping and fast-paced tone, this film explores the duplicitous side of social media.

Bloody Disgusting has the exclusive trailer drop for The Willowbrook, written and directed by first-time director Zach Koepp and starring Jessica Bishop, Erin Day, and Lawrence J. Hughes.

It was executive produced by Koepp and Bethe H. Gordon and produced by Jeffrey Reddick, Jessica Bishop, Krista Kolegraff, Aaron Hammersley, and Greg Bekkers. The film is a Rag Tag Pictures Production. The film won the Audience Award for Best Feature Film at Silicon Beach Film Festival.
