Um Gesto Simples de Natal

I loved the movie and theme. It's a movie I will watch more than once. However, the child actor was the worst. I'm thinking he was related to Lifetime staff.

I don't understand how this movie has such a high rating. I watch a lot of these types of christmas movies and enjoy them even though most of them are so predictable and follow the same formula. There's just something off with this movie! The two leads don't have much chemistry, the child actor is pretty bad, the story it self is not that good and a bit stupid honestly. And some of the set design is ridiculous, it's like they googled "rich guys house" and copied eveything. I also spent a lot of time annoyed at the male leads helicopter being in the background of every shot from his company factory/show room, probably to remind us that he is a very important and rich person. Skip this one if you like your christmas movie of choice to have a bit more substance!

A wealthy do-gooder with a wise butler who projects Christmas images in the sky, ala the Bat Signal, and a journalist, ala Lois Lane, who falls for his alias while unknowingly working to expose his true identity as the Secret Santa who has been amazing the citizens of Gotham, no, er um, Chicago. Less compelling story arc than the better Hallmark Christmas movies, and an overly earnest kid actor, but saved by good production values and enfaging performances by the leads and Patrick Duffy and Jacqueline Smith.

I really wanted to like this movie because I liked the sound of it, but I was a little disappointed.

The idea behind it was good. It was Christmassy but for some reason, I just didn't like it as much as I wanted to.

It was alright but I feel it could of been better.

Will I watch it again? Probably not.

I watched this as part of my 100 christmas movies before Christmas day challenge which made my total to 20.

Christmas season is the perfect time for cheesy Christmas themed love stories and this one fits the description. Plot may have some originality, but the rest sadly doesn't. 7 is really my Christmas gift to the movie.
