Same date last year, I presented you my collective info and review of 7 feel good Christmas Movies.
But this year, till yesterday I could spot only 2 such new releases on Netflix and coincidentally both are about getting back something on Christmas.
While the former is about getting back an estranged father, the latter is about getting back a stolen relic.
Story backdrop in both the movies is european uber rich, so there is enough eye candy pertaining to massive Christmas decor, high end designer clothing & accessories and the likes.
1. Father Christmas Is Back (7 Nov 2021)
Genre: Comedy
Duration: 105 minutes
Plot: Four feuding sisters get a crash course in family togetherness when their long lost father shows up for Christmas at their posh ancestral manor.
Review: It's an out and out British comedy featuring Elizabeth Hurley as one of the aforesaid sisters. The concerned manor is vast beyond expectations. Most of the movie is about family bickering and melodrama.
I found the movie a tad bit boring.
2. The Princess Switch 3: Romancing the Star (18 Nov 2021)
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Duration: 106 minutes
Plot: When a priceless Christmas relic is stolen, royal look-alikes Margaret and Stacy turn to audacious doppelgänger Fiona and her dashing ex for help.
Review: It is the third film in 'The Princess Switch' series, featuring Vanessa Hudgens in triple role like it's prequel.
But herein, even Fiona shows her humane side.
It's not easy to skillfully play triple role in a movie while maintaining clear distinction between all the three roles, but Vanessa manages to do that.
In fact in some scenes, Margaret and Stacy are required to play Fiona and even that distinction is clear!
It's a happy movie with high dose of fashion.
