ChristmasWithYou Review: Aimee Garcia Exudes Star Power In Genuine Holiday Rom-Com
It’s that time of year again, when people trade in their Halloween decorations for Christmas ornaments and replace their scary movies with jolly romantic comedies filled with holiday spirit. Streaming service giant Netflix is no stranger to the genre that brings in the cheer, laughter, and occasional romance. Its latest, Christmas With You, sees Aimee Garcia and Freddie Prinze Jr. join forces to create Christmas magic through song.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Aimee Garcia stars as pop superstar Angelina, whose career takes a turn for the unexpected when her label brings on rising star Cheri Bibi . Left with limited opportunities to advance her career forward, Angelina must show her label that she’s still got the star power by bringing them a hit Christmas song. Feeling low on inspiration, Angelina escapes to a small town, where she meets her number one fan Cristina and her songwriting single father Miguel .
While Tagliavini’s direction never overpowers the sincere nuances of the storyline and character relationships, she nicely showcases the importance of simplicity. This is mostly demonstrated through Angelina and Miguel’s growing relationship, as they develop a stronger bond through songwriting.
Almost every point of Christmas With You is predictable, and even somewhat conventional by rom-com standards. And yet, there’s no true barrier to enjoyment thanks to the touching script and great cast. Aimee Garcia simply rocks as Angelina, exuding true star power just like her character. Her chemistry with Freddie Prince Jr. simply works, even though his approach to playing Miguel comes off a little stiff and awkward.
Full of love, laughter, and holiday spirit, Christmas With You is this season’s rom-com that is bound to pull on the heartstrings of its viewers. Not only does the script provide a touching tribute to chasing one's dreams no matter the age, it also beautifully rationalizes the need for human connection even amidst the loss of a loved one. It doesn’t break any genre barriers, nor does the film offer anything new to say about these respective topics.
