More Detail:
Aging popstar sensation Angelina learns that her songs aren’t relevant anymore. Her record label threatens to drop her, unless she can write a hit Christmas song. A beloved Christmas song is a sure way to regain the support of her fans and help her career. There’s one problem, though. Angelina hates Christmas. This was the holiday her mom died, and she has never enjoyed anything about Christmas.
Feeling lost and discouraged, she continues to go about her life, dressing in her flashy outfits and playing the game of doing social media videos with A-list actor “Ricardo” to increase their social following. When she shows up for a photoshoot for a magazine, she’s heartbroken after the record label informs her they’ve deiced to put a younger, rising pop sensation on the cover instead.
With this news, Angelina decides on a whim to travel to a small town, two hours outside of the city to meet Cristina, a committed fan. Angelina watched Cristina sing one of her songs on social media and express how much it meant to her because her own mom, who also passed, used to sing it with her. So, Angelina decides to surprise this super fan with a personal visit.
She shows up at the house with her quirky assistant, Monique, who might be the most enjoyable character to watch in the movie with her fun facial expressions and witty side comments. After Angelina spends some bonding time with Cristina, she learns she can’t go home because a huge snowstorm has trapped them inside. Monique and Angelina are forced to stay overnight.
That night, Angelina learns Miguel is a music teacher, who has a natural gift for music. They begin to write a song that night together, heightening the sparks between them. Over the next couple days, Angelina learns how much love and happiness is found within a simpler life and with being in a family. She shares homecooked meals, helps Cristina and her friends with the choreography for her upcoming Quinceanera, and goes on romantic trips to see Christmas lights with Miguel. With Angelina’s fear of Christmas finally cured, Angelina must return to the city to sing the new song.
Angelina’s career is revived, but she’s invited to go on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, the same night she promised to attend Cristina’s upcoming Quinceanera. Will Angelina break her promise?
CHRISTMAS WITH YOU is a sweet family movie that highlights the Hispanic culture and traditions in a natural, inviting way. Also, the movie promotes love, family, compassion, and honoring one’s parents. In the end, the pop star learns it’s more important to put loved ones and family before career success. However, Freddie Prinz, Jr. as the father seems too old for Aimee Garcia, who plays the pop star. Their romance seems forced. Also, the movie is sometimes too melodramatic and, despite a prayer in the movie, Jesus isn’t overtly mentioned. Finally, the pop star wears flashy, midriff-revealing clothes. So, young girls may get the wrong idea watching CHRISTMAS WITH YOU.
