Just Another Christmas

<em>'A Christmas Carol'</em> meets <em>'Groundhog Dog'</em>. <em>'Just Another Christmas'</em> doesn't do anything all that unique or overly refreshing, but it does certainly bring heart and humour. Leandro Hassum does a grand job as Jorge, his comedy background shines through. He is very much the star, but Elisa Pinheiro (Laura) is likeable too. I enjoyed seeing the premise unfold. They do it in a positive way, with the pacing pretty spot on. I will say I thought they'd go deeper into it, especially with how they change Jorge - other than just doing, basically, what the aforementioned Charles Dickens novella entails. It does, as is, create some touching moments though. I'd be rating it a notch higher if it had a bit more freshness and took a deeper dive, but there's absolutely no doubt it's a good film. Worth a watch, definitely.
