The romantic comedy 'Say a Little Prayer' from Samuel Goldwyn Films has launched digitally across major video-on-demand platforms just in time for Valentine's Day and Galentine's Day celebrations. The film is now available on services including Comcast, Apple TV, Amazon Prime, Google Play, Tubi, Roku, YouTube Movies, and Fandango at Home.
Screenwriter Nancy De Los Santos emphasized the film's dual appeal for both romantic and friendship celebrations. "Valentine's Day is the perfect time to watch a romantic comedy and fall in love!" she said. "And since our movie celebrates friendship, it's also the best movie to watch with your amigas and besties on Galentine's Day." This positioning makes the film relevant to multiple audience segments during the February holiday season.
The film marks several significant debuts, most notably the feature film acting debut of Grammy Award-winning international recording artist Luis Fonsi, best known for hits like "Despacito" and "Cambiaré." Fonsi also contributes his first English-language song, "The Prayer in Your Eyes," to the film's soundtrack. This represents a strategic expansion for the artist into English-language markets and film acting.
'Say a Little Prayer' follows three friends who recite an ancient prayer to the patron saint of "all things lost" in their quest for true love, triggering unpredictable events that test their friendship and transform their lives. The narrative combines romantic comedy elements with themes of friendship and personal growth, creating content that appeals to both traditional romance audiences and those celebrating platonic relationships.
The film features a diverse ensemble cast including Vannessa Vásquez from "Divorce Bait," Jackie Cruz from "Orange is the New Black," and Vivian Lamolli from "Queen of Manhattan." The cast also includes Latin American legend Angélica María from "House of Flowers," Tatanka Means from "Killers of the Flower Moon," and comedian Chris Kattan from "Saturday Night Live." This casting strategy brings together established names from multiple entertainment sectors.
Musical contributions extend beyond Fonsi's participation, with songs by Tejana artist Shelly Lares, Los Angeles musician Nancy Sanchez, and The Last Bandoleros. The film's production team includes Academy Award nominee Edward James Olmos and Luis Fonsi as Executive Producers, with direction by Patrick Perez Vidauri and production by Cristina Nava of Migrant Filmworks.
For holiday celebrations, the filmmakers are running a promotion on the movie's social media channels, offering fans a chance to win a special box of Valentine's/Galentine's candy. This marketing initiative leverages seasonal themes to increase engagement and viewership during the film's launch period.
The film's release represents a strategic move by Samuel Goldwyn Films to capture holiday viewing audiences while showcasing diverse talent. The digital availability across multiple platforms ensures broad accessibility for viewers celebrating both romantic and friendship-focused occasions in February. The production by Migrant Filmworks aligns with their focus on creating content for the English-speaking US-born Latino audience, identified as the fastest-growing cohort of moviegoers in the country.
