Amante secreto

Undercover Christmas was a fun,entertaining movie.Although the plot was not original,it did not lessen it's quality. The humor was clever,and the dramatic parts were touching. Jami Gertz and Tyne Daly were standouts,and although Shawn Christian did not get glowing reviews by at least one critic,I liked him in the role,and enjoyed several scenes in particular between he and Jami Gertz.

Here we are in 2019 and Undercover Christmas is still one of my all time favorites. Yes the movie was predictable and had some similarities to "Pretty Woman" but I just loved it. I thought TD played her role superbly as the uptight kinda snobbish mom but yet quite humorous and endearing. JG has always been a favorite of mine so of course I enjoyed her in this movie. She was sassy, funny, vulnerable, flirty and fun! I also enjoyed the entire supporting cast including little Ashley. I believe the actor who played the father has since passed on:-(. The sister and her husband were fun to watch. Shawn Christian plays the male lead .... even though some think he was boring and stiff, it was exactly how his role was meant to be played .... he does warm up by the movie's end! This is an oldie but goodie.

I loved it, laughed, just a pleasure! I read reviews that say the plot was already in other movies, I don't care, this movie stands by itself in a big way.

A charming and surprisingly amusing bit of Christmas fluff; predictable but redeemed by good writing and superb performances by every cast member. While nothing wildly original it is a creditable effort. Tyne Daly is a standout as the majestic matriarch.

An overworked FBI agent(Shawn Christian)needs to "hide" a key witness(Jami Gertz)in an ongoing swindle investigation. Christian ends up taking Gertz to his wealthy parents home after being told his father has suffered a heart attack. This is a ploy of his mother(Tyne Daly)in hopes of seeing her son for the holiday. Predictably the agent and the witness pretending to be an "item" do fall in love. Also in the cast are: Diana Chaplin, Winston Rekert and Cameron Bancroft. Light hearted comedy worth watching. The main reason I watched is Gertz...man, that girl is HOT!
