    Lamman Rucker is the most underrated actor in all of Hollywood. That brother is SO FINE. Those dimples and deep, dark eyes make me melt every time I watch this movie. This is my new go-to movie....

    Loved this movie. Yes, to an extent, it was the regular formulaic romance but this was so much fresher with more complex characters. I do love that the characters were all striving, talented, loving and caring people that want to live decent lives. We need more role models like this instead of portraying people in the worst light and actually glamorizing such characters. I could even relate to the mother because I was a single working mother who raised my child on my own. Luckily for my child, I'm not as meddling but she came around and wanted the best for her family.

    How many families go through trying times around the holidays? This movie is just what's needed to show our humanity towards one another and to forgive and move forward. Very good holiday movie!

    Also I liked the way Clorox dressed not tight, short, low cut clothes. She was a great and caring character and she won out over the show-off actress. Good lessons and good acting!

  • @martellsloafersnscottbrostits

    When I tell you I love me some Lamman Rucker.
    The first time I noticed him was when he had a recurring role on Half n Half. I loved his acting and the fact that he was fine AF was just the icing on the cake!

    Although they didn't stick with the authentic Georgian accent, they sure made up for the "mother." She made my late mother-in-law look like an angel.

    I'm ready for "Cooking up Christmas 2". This movie was great and just what I needed to watch. There can be more, start thinking of the new story line OWN, for 2 and 3. Lol. I love him as a dad, I love the kids, I love the chef and her energy. I just loved this movie. ❤ 👏🥰

      Yes, it was a great movie! I've watched it multiple times. I have different scenarios for sequels that OWN could produce in mind. It was such a great ending. I would love to see that restaurant opening and the dynamics of the budding relationships familial and romantic.

    This was so good. The only thing is I wish is that the daughter didnt tell her sister that she hated her. I hate when they have kids say that word. Other than that loved it. The mother (delores) is beautiful. So pretty.

    The acting in this cute Christmas move was great. I loved to see two strong black fathers interact with their children. It will be one of my favorites. Thanks for not being too corny like a lot of Christmas movies are!

    • @wildwoodsgirl1706
      @wildwoodsgirl1706 Před 2 lety

      The example of going to any lengths, to respect the mother's feelings yet be there no matter what... That's inspiring! & Letting kids be themselves & respecting their talents. That whistle, though, lol. He needs to see the captain in The Sound of Music about that whistle! 😂 But yes, we need more characters like that. Great dads don't get represented nearly enough. That was the heart of this movie, to me, & an awesome one.
