RAVING REVIEW: <\/strong>What would you call a scream queen for Christmas movies? Whatever that title is, Elizabeth Hurley is vying for the title with her second major Christmas release within a few weeks of each other.<\/p>\n

\n

Initially, when I was asked if I wanted to review CHRISTMAS IN THE CARIBBEAN, I said I had already reviewed it just a few weeks previously. To my surprise, I was wrong; Elizabeth Hurley decided this was the year for her Christmas movie extravaganzas. In my defense, the other film\u2019s title was CHRISTMAS IN PARADISE, also starring Hurley on the front cover.<\/p>\n

With that out of the way, this was a cut and dry Christmas time romantic comedy. I don\u2019t think I would consider that a negative against the film. The audience for movies like this knows what they\u2019re getting, and that\u2019s okay. I would say this was better than the other one starring Hurley, this had more heart, and I found myself far more invested in the end.<\/p>\n

As I was writing this review, I fell into a rabbit hole that I am now even more confused by. I don\u2019t mean to lose focus on the review, but I found this incredibly interesting, with CARIBBEAN being a U.K. production and PARADISE being a U.S. production. Not only does Hurley star in both of these films, but Philippe Martinez directed both, and both had Nathalie Cox in them. Both were filmed on Saint Kitts and Nevis, a dual island nation. Maybe there\u2019s an underground movement for an Elizabeth Hurley-shared universe like the MCU\u2026<\/p>\n

In all seriousness, this was an enjoyable Christmas film for those who don\u2019t like to be reminded of the snow-covered log cabins that fill so many movies like this. If you\u2019re a fan of Christmas movies, romcoms, or Elizabeth Hurley, this will be right up your alley!<\/p>\n
