Feliz NaviDAD

I know this sounds cliche, or too good to be true, but grew up watching American Anthem, plus being a fan of Mario helped as well, Being a dad of 3 wonderful adult children now, it reminded me of the things that were missing, the true spirit of christmas. Plus was MJH being the weird aura life loving guru to make things funny for the movie made my day!!! This movie made it worth the watch, as only Mario Lopez can. The vibe from the cast makes you want to watch it over and over again. Must re-watch this film asap y'all, because the cast rocks!!! If nothing else, rewatch this movie, but stay for the message.

AnnaLynne McCord is a very sexy woman. Her chemistry with Mario Lopez in this movie was incredible. This was something different from each of them and the result was a rubber stamp television Christmas movie that was different enough to be unique. For once this story doesn't involve snow swept landscapes or getting stuck trying to find your way home. It takes place in Arizona and involves family already together and looking out for each other. Of course the falling in love part is present as expected. Add that the film was directed by Melissa Joan Hart and you have a wonderful example of what this generation is capable of.

I was anxious to watch this movie because I like the 2 lead actors (especially Mario Lopez). I have seen him in other movies and usually found them to be cute but not necessarily great. This one however has to be one of the worst Xmas movies I have ever watched and I watch at least 50 Xmas movies every year! Many of them I have watched over and over again because they are so wonderful! I watched Feliz NaviDAD with my 2 daughters and they had to keep waking me up! They also thought it was the worst Xmas movie ever. We all agreed that except for the 2 main actors, the acting in general was terrible and the story was really boring!

When watching holiday movies on TV, you never can expect much from them. But while flipping through channels I just happened to see this one starting on Lifetime and was intrigued by the fact it had Mario Lopez both in it and as producer along with Melissa Joan Hart as director. The whole cast, was terrific. Mario played single dad to his daughter very well. AnnaLynne McCord was also terrific in her role, as always. Like all Christmas movies, it was pretty obvious what was going to happen in the end, but the characters made this one very entertaining and enjoyable throughout the whole movie. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys fun holiday movies.

This is a very upbeat movie. The characters are fun and extremely likeable. I liked almost all of them and their acting was good. Most of all Mario Lopez and AnnaLynne McCord have sizzling chemistry. Their banter is cute and never stops. Paulina Chávez is also appealing as David's daughter. Nice voice. The story is similar to the usual win-the-contest movies, but different too. There's really nothing special in the story. There's almost no tension other than the distance issue long term. There are some silly blind dates, but I didn't think they were as over-the-top as in many movies with blind dates. Melissa Joan Hart shows up as one. There is some great music. True, a lot of it is the one song, but it's still good. The climax is super.

My (educator) partner (musician, horn) and I watched this as part of our annual holiday rom com movie watching, and it was a pleasant surprise. However, she's a professional horn player and we never see a horn, once.

I like the 2 leads and they did the best with the material they were given but this was one of the most boring Xmas movies I have watched . The 2 leads had chemistry but almost everyone else in this movie from the smaller roles to the extras were overacting and it made it hard to watch .
