Christmas in Paradise (2022)
Worse Than You Might Imagine
Elizabeth Hurley, in addition to being a fine actress, is a magnificent beauty who is just a joy to watch and hear. But this "movie" is absolutely dreadful. You will wonder how these actors were convinced to take part in something which has an elementary school feel to it. Mr Cyrus demonstrates why his career crashed and burned after his one-hit-wonder cover of someone else's' song. There is a charisma deficit here. If you find screaming babies being ohhed and ahhed over during cellular phone conversations this might be for you, but if you are a fan of Mr Grammer (as I am), does what he can, but, this is no Fraser.
This Christmas (2007)
The Antidote to Hallmark. . .
It's a Christmas movie so there is a lot to expect here, but seeing a well-crafted script performed by the crew of heavy-hitters assembled here make it a pleasure. A "real" movie makes those amateur efforts churned out yearly look pale. Mr Lindo is always watchable and worthwhile and tossing in Idris Elba for my wife and long-time crush for me Sharon Leal and we were glued to the screen.
It is a slow start with lots of characters to get sorted out but stay with it. It is worth it. A newer Christmas classic with imperfect people working their way through family. Enjoy!
