Beverly Hills Christmas

A Beverly Hills Christmas is a classic feel good movie. You review is a bit off. Firstly, you are a male and you have no idea what you are talking about. Angelina Foxworth is a career minded woman in a man's world. She is NOT mean spirited. She is motivated and directed. If a man acted like her being the CEO of his own company ala Steve Jobs, Donald Trump -- he would be applauded for his corporate savvy ness. I watched the movie and loved Angelina and her ethereal acting. Mrs. Foxwoth is the owner of Jetson. A billion dollar fashion house company of woman's gowns. While building the trendy company she helped folks like her assistant Lucille(Mara Rydell.(by the way gives a beautiful and emotional speech at the end of the movie (spoiler alert.) ) Donna Spangler's angel scenes are breathtaking in Malibu. She handles playing DEAD pretty beautifully. Now about the father, James Bennet Foxworth (Vincent De Paul) happens to been the most charming man I have seen in a long time in these holiday films. So you know most men and husbands are beyond void of emotion. I am waiting to get my husband to act beyond scratching his ?? and seeing further than his newspaper to even check on the kids. De Paul plays a grieving husband and Beverly Hills dad with CLASS and restrained dignity. Very natural and very believable. And by the way, his looks on camera are very handsome which was appealing to me maybe not YOU. Also, De Paul's natural way about him when he checks on his family and kisses his wife in the middle of the night in the mansion made me swoon. He is very convincing as a real Dad dealing with the real situations. Such a tremendous loss and rearing a 14 year daughter with his second wife he tackles effortlessly. I felt his pain. I was thoroughly convinced he loved his wife in the hospital scene when he speaks to Ravin at the end... Re watch it!!!! I do agree with your opinion about Dean Cain (Angel Gabriel). He is always remarkable and I enjoyed watching him giving counsel, guidance, and enlightenment to Angelina. Cain encourages her to change the trajectory of her daughter's poor life choices. Kirsten Lea (Carol) really shows compassion as a step mom and was perfect in the role. Also Brandon Tyler Russell (Jerry)and Ravin Spangler (Ravin) and so right for each other we first see it in the first act. They were spot on in their development of their characters and delivery. YES they are an integral part of the movie and the collective importance in the plot of A Beverly Hills Christmas. You may want to talk to the DVD designer on why they left off pictures of them. For some reason middle America responds to doggies on covers of DVD box art. Great performances also by Andy Cohen (Very funny) Simona Fusco, John Savage (Touching) and Seth Menachem & Sara Phillips(Moving performance as parents of Jerry). Anthony, Just so you know this is a holiday movie that dares to address some issues folks deal with everyday. I feel the director Brian Skiba did a tremendous job of showing three dimensional people. Also pleased Skiba added humorous fun and loving moments not to take it self to seriously. ENJOYED IT!!!

Really good movie, very clean, good family movie

dislike: acting is poor, in most cases wooden; plot untenable; borrows heavily but not well from movies like it liked: best actor was boy who played girl's interest...it's a shame he didn't have a better script to star in...he has potential.

I really liked "Beverly Hills Christmas"—the kind of holiday movie that the whole family can enjoy together (too rare these days). It combined dramatic and spiritual elements with touches of humor, and a timeless reminder about the truly important things in life. I felt that all these elements were well-handled by the beautiful lead actress (Donna Spangler), the two very handsome leading men (Dean Cain and Vincent DePaul), and a romantic pair of appealing young actors (Ravin Spangler and Brandon Tyler Russell—both of whom I think have bright futures). "Beverly Hills Christmas" is an enjoyable and touching holiday film that provides a peek at the glamorous Beverly Hills lifestyle while delivering a profound message.

It's cute. Good for kids and teens. Acting is okay, but the message is good.

Weird movie and not completely predictable. As you could already guess, this movie is cheesy and there is some sub-par acting going on. I enjoy Hallmark-esque Christmas movies and this one is in the same vein. I was expecting it to be funny and a bit more lighthearted than it was. Still I enjoyed it in the end and might even watch it again next year.

Not what I had expected. We take so much for granted that we can become self centered or blind to the blessings that we do have. I am guilty of both. This movie touched my heart and opened my eyes to faith, love, and hope. Faith that God cares about me. Love that I can give, especially to those who are hurting. And hope for the future even in life's dark moments.

no problem.

First of all, let me just say, I love Hallmark movies and am entirely saddened that I can't watch the channels regularly in Germany like I can in the US. I watched this one for free on Amazon Prime. The story is conducive to Hallmark's theme but, the acting is HORRIFIC! I couldn't wait for it to end! It is beyond hokey. Cute story but even a headliner like Dean Cain couldn't save it. Make your own opinion but, watch it for free if you can.
