Christmas With You | 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.
Originality - 5/10
Christmas Spirit - 2/10
Christmas Music - 4/10
It's 19 days until Christmas!
Come back tomorrow for Blogmas day 7!
