Noemi Gonzalez did not have the chops to win Pop Star USA. Her acapella singing said it all. NG was not sporting the age appropriate shape for just winning such a fictitiously prestigious award. JLO is smaller than NG at her advanced years. Steven Huszar did not pair well with NG. Talk about forced bonding. It is absurd that NG would wait until SH and her are in front of her family to spring the tired 'boyfriend' card on her family. Come on, man ... a Navy Seal wouldn't have "plot, plan, and execute" prior to arriving. He would really suck at this bodyguard job if so.

The whole 'fake' NG tantrum at SH and her brother keeping the mysterious notes from her is ridiculous.

I am so glad that I was able to fast forward through this one.

This movie was like reading a textbook on Mexican Christmas traditions, sprinkled in with an implausible script and odd casting. Feeding in all the Mexican Christmas traditions was heavy handed, so much so I was bored. Add in a "pop star" who can neither sing nor dance and no album to her credit and you have a dumpster fire. The lead has only won ONE singing/talent contest!! Read that again, she's only a talent show winner? And yet, she lives in a big, beautiful rented house and merits a 24/7 bodyguard. And why a bodyguard for two corny notes along the lines of "I'll love you forever." This threat to the heroine's person was a big reach.

Even more of a reach was the chemistry between these two. Despite both of them being very attractive I didn't see them together in any reality.

I really was looking forward to this movie. But it was pretty bad. Why do so many Hallmark actresses giggle so much? Like, young school girl giggling? Lacey Chabert is an expert at this. So is the lead in this movie. Didn't see any chemistry, that first kiss was SO awkward. No passion. The singing was pretty bad too. The karaoke scene wasn't too bad but when the piano scene came on, I was turned away so didn't see who was singing, I thought it would be another family member, like a kid that was sick with a cold. But it was the lead and her mom! They sounded horrible!!! Also, I've never seen a pregnant woman walk around holding her belly like that. Casting was all wrong. If you want to see a perfectly cast show, watch Ghosts. Perfection.
