An Enjoyable film. Beverly Hills Christmas


I often read peoples opinions of films an realize that they take from a film different messages and ideas. I liked A Beverly Hills Christmas for the following reasons. When it comes to holiday flicks I want to be sit back with my family and be entertained. No really heavy messages but simply to enjoy with my family in the TV room. This movie did it for me. I watched the film and my little boy laughed at the rock singer falling off the car getting his luggage. My daughter liked looking at the Ravin girls fun LA outfits. This message was simple and sweet. Care about others and help others, not to be selfish, a be a kind person... It is a universal message I think we can all agree on in the movie. I will also break it down to what I thought were it strong points and weak points. I love seeing woman being career minded. Angelina was strong willed but showed compassion at the end of the movie to her daughter Ravin. We saw the softer side of her. I wanted to see Angelina though be a fighter with Angel Gabriel(Dean Cain) and really tell him that she wanted to be able to communicate with her daughter ONE ON ONE for the last time. Never saw that in the movie. Where Angelina and Ravin look in each others eyes are Really SEE each other. I also enjoyed Jerry (Brandon)and Ravin's (Ravin)connections towards the second half of the movie. They showed the kind of teen love that was pure and innocent. Jerry was like a spiritual guide on earth to Ravin because he was poor and he only had kindness to give really. My kids liked seeing them together. The set of parents were great. I liked James(Vincent)and Carol (Kirsten) who were the rich well put together parents. But I thought they both had a conscious about raising the daughter down a good path. Jerry's parents Tony(Seth) & Lindsey (Sara) were hip foster parents that were so down to earth and very relatable. Dean Cain like in every holiday movie does a great job and I know it Christmas time when I see him on TV. Just so you know I read some good reviews on the movie and some others not so great. I feel the movie has a nice vibe and worth seeing with a family that likes to be simply entertained during the holidays. Acting was fine because it seemed like real people to me. My family enjoyed it.
