Customer Reviews of Holiday Heart
Fabulous; Great Plot; Must See Film Upon seeing "Holiday Heart" recently, I was left with a heartwarming feeling. A slightly unusual Christmas tale, but very well done. As in any movie, there were certain parts that were less than realistic (Social Services would've been all over this situation) and I would've liked to have seen a little more development of the relationship between all the characters, but as I usually say, I don't watch movies for reality, I watch them for entertainment or escape. I'll watch A&E, Discovery, and The Learning Channel for reality television.
The always-enjoyable Ving Rhames looked a little uncomfortable portraying a drag queen at first, but was impressively camping it up by the end of the film. There was a fine supporting cast as well, especially the exceptional Alfre Woodard as the mother who struggles with her drug addiction. Jesika Reynolds did a fine job in this role as the heartbroken daughter, and Mykelti Williamson was excellent as usual as Silas. Kudos to Robert Townsend for a lovely and slightly surprising story.
This is probably one of my Top Ten of movies that one must see for the realistic plot and the plot formation. There was more creative thought into the plot and dynamics between the characters and this is not your "normal" movie, however, it shows a paradox between being a drag queen and also being a Christian, which is cool. It's heart warming, yet realistic in a world that values quick answers and easy solutions. It offers hope and reality. The lines are well written. The music is great. The actors and actresses are well chosen. Top notch film.
"Holiday Heart" attempts to be a touching lite drama about a burly drag queen who befriends a female druggie and her daughter. Rhames works hard to fit into his character and his dresses and, to his credit, pulls it off. The film in general is a little schmaltzy around the edges, makes obvious efforts to push the viewers buttons for the desired result, and tells a story which beyond the unique premise is unoriginal. Nonetheless, the viewer who sets skeptical analysis aside and goes with the flow may just become pleasantly engrossed in this heart warming tale of strange bedfellows.
All in all, if you have a chance to watch this movie, I highly recommend it! You've got to give Ving Rhames credit for being in full drag on stage lip-synching "Baby love, my baby love..." Showtime delivers another "No Limits" performance.
loved it
I normaly hate watching most tv movies, but as I was channel surfing, one day, I came across this and seeing Holiday (Ving Rhames) saving Wanda(Alfre Woodard) from an beat down, it just stopped me and I began watching. Seeing Wanda slowly go from a women who loves and cares for her daughter, to a druggy and prostitute, broke my heart. And seeing Ving take a role that not many men will do,(except the guys in "To Wong Foo with Love Julie Newmar") that takes guts, and style.
Heart Warming & Aching
From my direct knowledge, being sober for 9 years. I thought this movie was the best realistic performance I have ever seen! I'm a treatment specialist for Addiction and it will be a movie I would show to my clients. This movie made me laugh and cry. Robert Townsend Out did himself with this movie.
