    Excellent holiday movie! It's a must see!

    by lopezca5

    The holidays typically represent family, relationships and a special something in the air that only the holidays can offer! This movie was spectacular! It had a little bit of hapiness, laughter, concern, anguish, and humilty. I loved it so much, I am going back to see it again today!

    Nothing Like It

    by jmccloy77

    This was a good movie. I enjoyed it from begining to end. The cast was great. They all seemed to have great chemistry between them. The story line was great. Got to see each familys side. It had a lot of humor. No sex. It had some bad language. But overall, this was a great family holiday movie. I would definately recommend anyone to see this. Its a good christmas movie.

    OK /:(

    by Bunnylu

    I wanted to love this movie so much! I really tried... it was just so depressing. I was hoping that they would capture a true Puerto Rican Christmas but this movie had too much drama. Not positive drama, more like negative. Like another viewer indicated it was not the typical Christmas movie. Also there were too many stories within the story. It felt that once you had a grab on one issue they jumped to the next not allowing the viewer to feel the moment. At one point I was near tears then was annoyed by the interruption of a changed scene. I am a huge fan of every one of these actors and I was saddened that this movie, which had so much potential, fell flat in the delivery.
