Basic story plot is the weird angel god punishes a poor fellow to make him enjoy christamas eve and be good to his family. By the ending no propee justification given why the hell he cursed. Its individual pain when someone is not able to enjoy the moments. Instead of mami him realize the movie punish main character. So the movie says if you dont believe christams you are going to be rotten in living hell. Initial 20 min are good. Climax is too bad.we cannot empathize with any character in the movie. Because everyone tries to irritate their loved ones. Lead character behavior itselr till climax never gets better One of the bad festive season movie.avoid it.

It's another attempt at the Christmas classic: a magical "guide" tries to guide our protagonist through the "real meaning" of Christmas Eve. The added detail that the protagonist's birthday is also Christmas Eve serves as both a marker that he's still stuck in the loop, (except it's not a loop), and as a gripe that people forget his birthday. It's a bit hard to follow until the 2nd or 3rd time, that he's not in a loop, but simply skips to next year's Christmas Eve, then next year's, and so on, getting to assess the damage his attitude causes only on the holiday. It has all the holiday movie clichés, with updates for modern audiences, like the strong LGBT message from the "fairy godfather". Some characters that deserve better exposition, like his immediate family, don't get it. The movie tries to have too many things going on, so it's hard to focus on any of them. Instead of enhancing the comedy and Christmas spirit, it really only ends up showcasing the routine message of "seize the day", and the in-your-face LGBT agenda. Everything else gets slback seat to these two themes. Nevertheless, good stepping stone for a remake, and hopefully the next country's version gets it right.

I wouldn't touch this movie with a thirty nine and a half foot pole. This was an extremely bad movie from beginning to end. The wife's character was hideous. This is a perfect example of how remakes are not always good. The acting was really bad from almost everyone. The new social issues were laughable and the solution was thoughtless. Look like they did not know what they wanted to make. They had a concept from a really good movie and ruined it by applying their own brain. The movie was not only bad but it was unwatchable. I stopped my self from skipping the movie almost every time because almost each and every scene was getting under my skin.

No pun intended - it seems like this year .. or rather this Christmas there are a lot of Christmas themed movies. While I did enjoy the horror one (Christmas Bloody Christmas) and had a lot of fun with Violent Night (will not replace Die Hard, but definitely an instant classic) ... there are other movies like this one ... not a bad movie. But also quite predictable to say the least. You can have fun with this and I would expect you to know what you let yourself into. There are a lot more Christmas themed movies but I will try to avoid them ... seen enough for this (holiday) season. The theme being the same ... well there is another pun for you ... but I'd prefer a punch .... wait that does not mean what I think it means ... does it? All kidding aside, there are worse movies out there ... but also a lot better ones.

Well, i can only say this kinda mixed movie just pissede off from the beginning to the end. To be honest everyone in the protagonist situation would be pissed, frustrated and angry toward Christmas day/ birthday. I just see the curse as something really unnecessary and unfair at least. I don't see the fairy also as someone trustworthy but makes doing to the protagonist things without a logic not even make him understand what he could do better or what he's doing wrong. Seems like they just make him do only for their satisfaction so yeah. I feel disgusted, disoriented and really pissed off at this movie.

Even though this movie has a plot that we are familiar with, I did not know what it was going to do with the idea or how it was going to be executed. This movie is a standard bad movie, which was interesting for me to watch in the original Spanish language with English subtitles on Netflix. The acting in the movie is ok but could have been better, even though they were doing the best they could with what they were given. The main character starts out unlikable, which is understandable, but he starts to get annoying and hard to watch as the movie goes on. When the movie started, I was confused by what they were starting with and how it was being shown, but also because it did not fit with the rest of the movie. The other characters will at times be fine but also give weird and unlikable performances that I did not like. There is one character in the movie I thought was weird and was annoyed when it looked like he was messing with the main character for no reason. When the ending came, I did not feel a progression in the main character on him liking Christmas more and treating his family better because of how it wrapped up in the end. I did not like this movie that much but at least they tried something different, but it did not work out that well. I will not recommend this Christmas movie when you should watch much better Christmas movies.

Wow I think all the grumps reviewing this badly need to rewatch and actually catch the lesson. Everyone I know who hates it is exactly the kind of Chuy who never learned. The acting, though not what American audiences are used to, is great. The story is a classic redemption story that shows what Christmas is all about. And Diva Godmother is absolutely the most fun godmother I've ever seen. (Seriously, considering how I can recreate their tinsel outfit rn) This movie is absolutely being added to my yearly Christmas watch list. You all grinches can complain about the story or acting or costumes in a way that is clearly saying you don't like the non-American Christmas movie but I loved it, I see it, and I hear what it's saying.

This is a movie that lives up to expectations: from the insufferable opening credits sequence you know it will be a mess, as well as eternal, even using the FF key. It seems that they put all the clichés of famous holiday movies (Christmas Carol, the Grinch, Scrooge, Christmas Vacation, etc) in a blender and the result is nonsense: the protagonist is condemned to have his groundhog day (in this case, Christmas) repeated every day, but at the same time the years go by and it is not understood. Mexicans confuse the comedy genre with terror: they fill the screen with obnoxious and overacting characters, and one is left waiting for the Freddy Kruger or Jason on duty to appear and do justice.

Why do I feel very attacked whenever they "villainize" Chuy/Jose Padilla (the protagonist)??? Of course he will be grumpy. On top of him only getting one gift every year (vs others getting one birthday gift and one Christmas gift) and people forgetting it's his birthday too, it appears that he is the one doing all the chores despite it being his special day. And to top it all off, it would appear that he buys everyone gifts too. About the curse: why does his life get fast forwarded into his next birthday?! Except for the protagonist, everyone gets a memory of what Chuy has done from the last 364 days since his last birthday. If you put yourself into his shoes, would you be able to change your mistake if you are not even aware that it was a mistake to start with? Ironically, one of the plot lines talked about empathy and it would appear that the writer/s don't understand empathy that much - they can't empathize what their protagonist was going through.
