... View MoreBEWARE OF BOGUS REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. TRUST ME THIS FILM IS TERRIBLE. NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 400 Christmas MOVIES. I HAVE NO AGENDA. I AM FARE.This film is a sequel to "A Golden Christmas" and if you liked the original then you will like this one as well. In this follow up film Rod and Katherine are enjoying their retirement in Florida. They've made friends with their new neighbor, Lisa, whose three golden retriever puppies give the couple's dog, Jake, three new playmates. But when the retrievers take off during a walk with Lisa and interrupt a wedding proposal, Lisa is mortified to discover the proposer is her ex, David.The casting is fine and the plot hums along but at times it just feels like everyone is just going through the motions without much depth in some of the scenes. My favorite scene in the whole film however is the final scene. I thought it was creative and inspiring.
... View MoreI put this movie on one day just to get a Christmas atmosphere in the house while doing other things. I had no real plan to pay much attention to it. But I wound up getting a lot more involved in it than I expected. It's funny and touching in parts and the characters are interesting with pretty good acting. It has some really beautiful and well-written scenes especially when the older neighbors try to help the young friends sort out their feelings. The movie even has some good life lessons. Having said that, I have to say this is not really a Christmas movie but a romance that happens to take place in December. Still, I highly suggest it to everyone even when it's not December.
... View MoreIt is Christmas time, in sunny Florida, the movie takes place on coast of Florida. The movie would be considered a holiday, comedy, and romantic movie.When Lisa moves to Florida with her three puppies, she becomes instant friends with her upstairs neighbor who also has a golden retriever. While the husband of the upstairs neighbor becomes friends with David. When Lisa sees David, she ends up telling Katherine about her past relationship with David. When Lisa runs into David on the street, he is proposing to his girlfriend, but Lisa's dogs get loose and David looses his great aunts wedding ring. Every time that Lisa sees David things do not go so well for David. The girlfriend absolutely hates Lisa, and blames her for everything. Lisa must figure out if she loves David.The acting in this is very good. the main girl is now one of the main actors in the new television show Dallas. while the little girl is also really good. she does not over act, nor does she underact. although the script is not perfect the actors and actresses are what make the movie perfect.This movie is one of my favorite Christmas movies, I make sure I watch it every year. it is not like the other Christmas movies, although it is based on the same things that most Christmas movies have. absolutely love it!!!!
... View MoreLisa (Julie Gonzalo) has moved to Florida with three darling golden retriever pups. At once, she makes friends with the nice couple next door and their adult golden. The three become so close, in fact, that Lisa feels comfortable telling them how her love life is not running smoothly. It seems her heart was damaged long ago by a former best-friend-turned-suitor. Unbelievably, Julie is walking the dogs on the beach when she spies her "ex" kneeling near another lady. The canines break lose and knock the man, named David (K.C.Clyde) for a loop. Since it was a proposal that was interrupted and the ring is now "lost", David is upset and so is his blonde fiancé. Lisa apologizes profusely, naturally. However, it is clear that this surprise meeting between old flames has rattled their nerves and, perhaps, their hearts. Since it does appear that David has moved on and seems happy, Lisa is reluctant to see him again. Yet, they meet several times over the next few weeks. Lisa even discovers that one of the dogs has the "lost" ring in his possession. Is there going to be a wedding for David in the future and just who will be the bride? This is a sweet, funny, cute little holiday flick for folks of all ages. The cast, including old pro Bruce Davison, is winning and the dogs are adorable. Also, the setting is lovely, the costumes are terrific and the script has a definite charm. Add on an energetic direction and a holiday theme and another winner has arrived in the vast repertoire of Christmas films. Do take time to find it for you and your loved ones.
