Noël au palace

Just about enjoyable.

'Christmas at the Plaza' gets slightly uninteresting in parts, but I largely had a solid enough time with it. I enjoyed the hotel setting, as well as the heavy Xmas vibes. Elizabeth Henstridge is good in the lead role, her (Jessica) and Ryan Paevey (Nick) have suitable chemistry. I also liked Bruce Davison as Reginald.

The story is a pleasant one, which involves a decent amount of heart. It's, albeit narrowly, worth a watch.

The source of seduction - Ryan Paevey and the supportive actors, decent working romance and the frame of finial d' arbre. A very familiar recipe but ldecent and,witn few scenes, wise used. So, real nice. The star, obvious, is Bruce Davison for his lovely, friendly , sensitive and vulnerable character. A film who desrve see it.

Elizabeth Henstridge seems to have no life at all in this movie, making me wonder that she is only saved in Agents of Shield by the presence of so many other actors.

The film isn't helped by having the same tired "girl left on her own by clueless boyfriend" cliche.

Was this movie conceived only to get The Plaza to write a big check as a placement sponsor? Seems like it. The writers sure didn't seem to be able to get past that.

Using the Plaza as a setting was a great idea... it was beautiful! A pretty solid story too... one of the best Christmas movies I've seen so far this year. The only thing I would have changed was to have more of the history of the Plaza and finials in the movie. ❤❤❤

This is a lovely story. I like the historical interest tied in with Christmas as well as the blossoming romance. I'm not sure that she was totally fair to her boyfriend or that she was the most likeable person either, but he. . . He was beautiful, a deep voice and a gorgeous smile and face, probably with a body that rocks too.

Also, Bruce Davison is slowly becoming very popular with me. He works his arse off to be in all these films and I did like his characters arc in this one.

It's a charming story, with history and with traditional family values at Christmas, what's not to like?
