Cute enough feel-good Christmas movie
This is a cute enough little movie. Very "Black-ish"/ "Best Man Holiday" esque in terms of production quality, aesthetics, and setting, with a dose of Hallmark movie cheesiness to make it acceptable for a general audience. If you accept it for what it is, keep your expectations realistic, you'll find it enjoyable enough. Well, at the very least you'll find it watchable and won't be upset you spent time doing so.
Speaking of expectations, the two main characters exceeded mine. I've been so-so on Romany Malco's acting skills in the things I've seen him in, but I was pleasantly surprised with his performance in this movie. But it's his co-star whom deserves the honorable mention. I'm not familiar with her, but I think she carried this movie! I can't believe I haven't seen her in other things. I think she has tremendous star potential! The actor who played the son was also a pleasant surprise. Will also give a shout to Deon Cole for playing the funny villain pretty well.
There are weak spots: the older daughter's acting is somewhat mediocre. The plot is somewhat predictable. But not to the point it insults the audience's intelligence.
I think overall this is a quality, family-friendly offering from Netflix. Given some of Netflix's other more "agenda"-driven offerings, you have to take the non-offensive, non-controversial stuff when you can. Enjoy!
