Uma Canção de Natal

Christmas Solo has two stories in one.

Jennifer is a vet who has moved to a small town with her teenage daughter Charlotte from San Francisco. Jennifer ends up tussling with Nate over some fancy Christmas decorations the only ones left in the store as no one in these small towns has heard of ebay or Amazon.

However both find romance with each other but there is a fly in the ointment. Nate also has a teenage daughter Melissa and she is not happy that Charlotte has nabbed the solo at the school Christmas concert.

Melissa has turned mean girl on Charlotte including having her house daubed with graffiti.

This is a nice enough Christmas film, maybe it needed a few more better songs but the ending was a little bit too sweet and convenient. Obviously the police in these small towns are not too hot on pursuing people for criminal damage to private property.

I liked the movie, just wondered why they changed the words to "Joy to the World" at the end of the movie?

PLEASE BEWARE OF SOME REVIEWERS THAT ONLY HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. I HAVE OVER 400 REVIEWS OF "CHRISTMAS RELATED FILMS & SPECIALS" WHEN ITS A POSITIVE THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. NOW I HAVE NO AGENDA! I REVIEW MOVIES & SPECIALS AS A WAY TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT I HAVE SEEN! I HAVE DISCOVERED MANY GEMS IN MY QUEST TO SEE AS MANY " C H R I S T M A S " MOVIES AS I CAN.

Now Someone keeps reporting my reviews. I guess they are jealous because I do tell the truth. I want to point out that I never make snide remarks about actors weight or real life sexual orientation. If there acting is terrible or limited "I talk about that". If a story is bad "I will mention that" So why am I being "picked on"? IMDB? When one of my reviews gets deleted IMDB will not even tell me what someone found offensive. Well on to this review.

This film is about people being "solo". New girl at school trying to fit in. There is the ice queen of the school who feels she is on her own after her mother ran out on her & her dad. Then there is the two "Single Parents" trying to figure everything. Being "Solo" at Christmas isn't easy for various reasons.

Now when the single parents stumble into the possibility of love for Christmas, they discover that their daughters are embroiled in a nasty rivalry at school. When the rivalry gets out of control, everyone comes clean about where they are in life. Most of all nobody is criticized for "Sharing Their Feelings".

Well Done.

I enjoyed the line "Boyfriend for Christmas," which refers to one of Kelli Williams' earlier Christmas movies which I generally watch each year. Kelli has graduated from child to parent in this movie that deals with bullying and forgiveness. I appreciated how the film showed parents can often exacerbate a bad situation among teens, but, also, they can be instrumental in healing them. As the movie was a feel-good holiday flick, it ends happily. Wish it were so simple in real life.

Why in the world would you change the words to the common Christmas carol Joy to the World? It's "Heaven and nature sing" not Heaven and angels sing. Good acting but the writer and editor should have had a pay cut not to catch this obvious mistake.
