We know that most of you are starting this week with a different mood, given that thanks to the Immaculate Conception holiday, you will finally be able to take a little break and enjoy an anticipation of what the Christmas holidays will be.
So if you’re planning to watch a movie on TV tonight, we can’t help but recommend titles that won’t spoil your mood. They range from the romantic comedies Opposite Poles (with Luca Argentero and Sarah Felberbaum) and Yours, Simon (with Nick Robinson, Josh Duhamel and Jennifer Garner).
Not forgetting Who Framed Santa Claus? (by and with Alessandro Siani), with which you can already breathe an air of celebrations.
