    Loved this movie. Yes, to an extent, it was the regular formulaic romance but this was so much fresher with more complex characters. I do love that the characters were all striving, talented, loving and caring people that want to live decent lives. We need more role models like this instead of portraying people in the worst light and actually glamorizing such characters. I could even relate to the mother because I was a single working mother who raised my child on my own. Luckily for my child, I'm not as meddling but she came around and wanted the best for her family.

      Color is irrelevant. If it's okay for blacks to speak this way, then all other races can, too. It's absolute bigotry and a double standard.

    This is quite possibly the BEST Christmas movie of the decade. Seriously!!! I laughed SO hard many times throughout the movie, I had to rewind to watch those funny parts over and over, and I cried several times throughout the movie too. It hit home on serious issues and made me cry from being happy. The acting was EXCELLENT!!! I would easily spend money to buy this after seeing it for free on TH-cam. THANK YOU 😁🥰🎄

    • @wildwoodsgirl1706
      @wildwoodsgirl1706 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The example of going to any lengths, to respect the mother's feelings yet be there no matter what... That's inspiring! & Letting kids be themselves & respecting their talents. That whistle, though, lol. He needs to see the captain in The Sound of Music about that whistle! 😂 But yes, we need more characters like that. Great dads don't get represented nearly enough. That was the heart of this movie, to me, & an awesome one.
