You want to know what we think of Sarah Drew? Love Guiding Emily. Great film along with Branching Out. Branching Out had me in wonderful tears throughout. Juan is so kind with so much love to give. His Father is also kind, but wise and loving (kisses his grown son on the forehead), and the song Juan plays and sings in the Cruz’ store. It is such a beautiful movie and I don’t mind crying over the love, joy and happiness. I will watch it whenever it comes on the Hallmark channel
You asked us if you should prepare a review for a Christmas movie, definitely "Xmas in Vienna" with Sarah Drew is an excellent choice, the plot and the excellent scenic production considering the wonderful city of Vienna, definitely put this movie among the best of the Christmas format. However, if you ask for my best recommendation for a review I would definitely recommend "ONE ROYAL HOLIDAY" as perfection in the genre since Hallmark. Most of the ensemble cast are proven Broadway pedigree actors and the title song sung by the two lead actors is a gem.
I was definitely looking forward to your review of this wonderful movie, and in general the quality of your comments is excellent, except that I would not give it 4.5, I assigned it 6.0, because it is excellent in all aspects of production, characters, artists and plots. Perhaps you highlighted the only flaw in the film with the 7 A.M. alarm clock issue. If I may please be allowed a healthy criticism, in your review you rushed and omitted quite a few important plot details that for my taste were important and highlight the overall quality of the film and my rating: the intercultural details in the interaction with the family seems to me a relevant fact, which occurs in several moments that were not considered in your review, for example when the girl discovers the flavors of the family desserts linked to the Mexican cultural background, the dialogue with the sisters and the mother, the fact that Amelia has not used the WhatsApp group until the invitation to Ruby's presentation and above all: the FIESTA and everything that happened in it. For me this movie has been the best so far this year and I definitely included it in my TOP5 of all time HALLMARK.
I absolutely love your viewpoint on this one, Ernesto! I'm actually fascinated by this cultural aspect as well. I am originally from San Diego, have many friends whose families are from Mexico, and have been to FIESTAs very similar to what we see in this movie. I've even felt a bit overwhelmed, just as Amelia did, by the size of these family events!! Your pointing out these details helps me to appreciate this movie even more.
My initial impression was to pass on this. However, after your review I decided to give it a try. It was a wonderful movie and Sarah Drew is a delight. Yet, Sarah's performance was not quite as strong as it was in Guiding Emily. Her charm and personality and range of development in that movie was almost without equal. For me, the chemistry between the main characters was much less. Nonetheless, well worth a second view. 4 stars. David
It was everything beautiful in one movie, i can't stop watching it❤❤

I will gladly check out One Royal Holiday and I'll look to see if it's available to stream on Hallmark's Movies Now!
