Hope for the Holidays

Wow, where to start. I knew this movie masterpiece was going to be a tear jerker, I did not know however that Robert Lasardo charter 'Mouse Sanchez' would have me forgetting that I was watching a movie. Mr. Lasardo is such a powerful actor. We need to see more of this brilliant soul. Iconic Sally Kirkland, what can I possibly say about a living legend that has not already been said. Mind-blowing to note this is Director Ricky Borba Directorial debut. He seems so seasoned. I can not even begin to imagine where he pulled from when I read 'Hope for the Holidays' is life imitating art. Thank you Robert 'Mouse' Lasardo for pulling out all the stops, amazing job sir.

Bad acting, cliche plot, mundane writing. Other than that it was fantastic. I'll never get that hour and a half back. I've seen lousy Hallmark style films before, but this one lowers the bar to an unprecedented level. Having written that, it does make an attempt to inspire people with good feelings about humanity.

I know when I have seen a good movie...when I wake up the next morning and it is the first thing I think of. Perhaps it is because of the "back story of the director", perhaps it is because of the emotional acting, perhaps it is because of the underlying subjects of grace and forgiveness. Whatever it is, you need to see for yourself. Just make sure you have a tissue nearby.

Today more than ever before, our world needs stories of hope, family and undying love. Most of all, we need each other. Gather your family and friends and watch this movie...be prepared to have your heart touched.

We really need more movies like this one, especially in these trying times. It reminds us of something much bigger than ourselves.

I am so proud of Director Ricky Borba, hitting these nail on the head!

Hope for the Holidays is a beautiful, touching and heartwarming film. The entire cast was wonderful, especially Sally Kirkland who really shined in this story. This is wonderful holiday movie that the whole family will enjoy. Have plenty of tissues on hand because this story is very moving. I highly recommend it!
