Featured review
Romcom with little comedy and lots of cringe, with Garcia as its single highlight
Another christmas feelgood movie that is predictable and cheesy. If you are into that, then the movie is pretty okay, but there were a lot of cringe-worthy moments where it just felt so artificial and self-indulgent that it was pretty rough.
Aimee Garcia really carries the acting as the popstar who's lost her inspiration whilest being pressured to make a new hit in a ridiculously short amount of time. She is nice on the screen and has a knack for making those scriptlines that come straight out of a can feel a little more authentic. The same unfortunately can not be said for Freddie Prinze Jr. And Deja Monique Cruz... They respectively play the parts of a single dad - who conveniently happens to be a music teacher - and his daughter who is about to turn 15 and is also a fan of the popstar Garcia.
You can already guess the rest of the story: Garcia finds inspiration by "hanging out with the normal people" and falls for Prinze. No real reason why this happens, because other than they work together on the song, there is no real character development or anything that strengthens their relationship in any way. I don't really understand why Prinze was cast in the first place. Even though they are quite similar in age in real life, in the movie I feel like Prinze looks way older than Garcia and in a romcom, if your character is so 2D then please give the audience some eyecandy.
Some attempts at being funny were made, but I didn't actually laugh a single time. If you make a romcom, please don't forget the com part. Everything revolves around the popstar part and how amazing she is. Even at Cruz's quinceañera it's hardly about Cruz, instead just maintaining the spotlight forever on Garcia. It feels like someones powertrip fantasy about being so adored and wonderful, instead of anything remotely realistic and relatable.
I would only recommend this movie if you love the genre and have a taste for teethrotting sweetness. It's a bad movie, but all christmas movies kind of are. A guilty pleasure movie that is guilty of being not so pleasurable.
