Love Always, Santa (2016)
Christmas isn't over yet. I know for some people it's everyday, just like Mr. 365, but I'm talking about the Catholic Faith. Christmas ends on Sunday, the Baptism of Jesus.
This movie is not about that, obviously. It's about handling grief, second chances, finding your soul mate, et cetera, et cetera.
It's sort of formulaic, and the ending could be guessed, but what happens in between is what is special.
There were loose ends, and some minor details like when "Lilly's mom" wrote "Love Always, Santa" she used a couple of pages from a notebook with lines. When "Love Always, Santa" received the reply, the lines were gone.
Hmm...maybe the paper with lines were just a draft then...
:-p
ISADORA SWANN reminds me of Margaret O'Brien. Would she be as big as a star she was? Well, she should be. She's the life of this movie, alongside her mom and the super insecure international best selling (MIKE FAIOLA)author, and of course, Ben(MICHAEL TEZLA) and Hank(JAY BLACK).
Hank, by the way, is one of those who wrote the script for this story alongside the director(BRIAN HERZLINGER).
I appreciated this movie because of the dialogue and literary references.
The acting is good, especially by Isadora and MARGUERITE MOREAU, but we can't discount Mr. Faiola's contribution, and BRADY SMITH as well.
Thanks a bunch for your time!
