Uma Conexão para o Natal

Too much grinning and cheesey chuckles n laugh in first 20 minutes. So fake.

PLEASE BEWARE OF SOME REVIEWERS THAT ONLY HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. 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.

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 will not even tell me what someone found offensive. Well on to this review

In this film Flight attendant Sydney is tasked with looking after Leah, an unaccompanied minor. After Leah is safely delivered to her father, Jonathan, Sydney finds a package Leah left behind and delivers it to Leah. She missed her connection, and Jonathan invites her to spend the holidays with them.

Sydney also happens to be a nice person. She is not the "Career Woman" mean girl that many movies seem to portray. Here this woman really hasn't thought about family she is not against them at all. She just happens to think she wants something else.

Now there is 2 stories running concurrently. They both nice stories and the Christmas setting makes this film shine.

The story is what you expect from "Hallmark". What is nice however this film in reality is a tribute to love. Both past and present. It also about love you have for your family and enjoying your family.

I really liked this one. I will see it again.

This movie has a story within a story. A reporter, Jonathan, and a flight attendant, Sydney, grow into a relationship while tracking down the story of her parents' meeting on Christmas day. The parents' story is enough of a mini-mystery to give a little suspense while the daughter and the reporter spend a lot of quality time together.

The reporter's daughter, Leah, adds a nice touch as she and Sydney develops affection for each other as well.

This is pretty good casting for Brooke Burns. Sophie Neudorf does a good job as Leah without going overboard in the cute department.

A nice movie, characters are likable, but in many scenes the music is too loud and you can't hear the dialogue!

Let's face it, by the time December 23rd rolls around the average Hallmark viewer can repeat dialogue from a number of it's Christmas movies. We can guess the movie by the first couple movie frames. The decision is whether to watch or switch to some Christmas cookie competition on the food channel. I always decide to watch The Christmas Connection. Brooke Burns is believable as a flight attendant down to her smooth side bun and bright red lipstick. And then there's Tom Everett Scott and his easy going delivery. Great chemistry-decent double plot. And there's no prince in sight. It's repeat worthy!
