Christmas With You | Blogmas Day 6

 It's Blogmas day 6!

This film came out a couple of weeks ago on Netflix and I instantly added it to my Blogmas list, not only because it was new, but because it had an interesting (if a bit familiar) plot.

Pop star Angelina (Aimee Garcia) escapes her life by going to a small town to grant a young fan's wish, and ends up being taken in by the fan and her father (Freddie Prinze Jr.)

I thought I would love this film because the plot is quite similar to 'Marry Me', a film that I loved. However, this one fell a bit flat for me.

The main reason this movie fails for me is because there isn't really any chemistry between the two leads. There isn't a lot going on in the story so it rests on the relationships, and the lack of chemistry made the events of the film hard to believe.

For a film that tries to focus quite a lot on music, there's not a lot of music in the film. And the music that is used doesn't feel particularly prominent or important - especially the song that becomes the film's focal point.

In addition to that, there are also a couple of important dance performances, and honestly every performance in the film, singing or dancing-wise, ends up being underwhelming and lacklustre.

Was it Christmas? Other than a couple of jumpers and snow, I can't remember Christmas even being mentioned.

Overall, there are better Christmas movies out there. And even without the Christmas theme, Marry Me is a much better version of this movie.
