The romantic comedy Say a Little Prayer has become widely available for digital release on major video-on-demand platforms, including Comcast, Apple TV, Amazon Prime, Google Play, Tubi, Roku, YouTube Movies, and Fandango at Home. This release timing coincides with both Valentine's Day and Galentine's Day, positioning the film as entertainment for both romantic and friendship celebrations. Screenwriter Nancy De Los Santos emphasized this dual appeal, stating that Valentine's Day is the perfect time to watch a romantic comedy and fall in love, while noting that since the movie celebrates friendship, it is also the best movie to watch with friends on Galentine's Day.
The film marks the feature film debut of Grammy Award-winning international recording artist Luis Fonsi, known for hits like Despacito and Cambiaré, and features his first English-language song, The Prayer in Your Eyes. Say a Little Prayer follows three friends who, in their quest for true love, recite an ancient prayer to the patron saint of all things lost, triggering a series of unpredictable events that test their friendship and transform their lives in unexpected ways.
In addition to Luis Fonsi, the film features a talented cast including Vannessa Vásquez from Divorce Bait, Jackie Cruz from Orange is the New Black, and Vivian Lamolli from Queen of Manhattan. The ensemble 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. The film's musical elements are further enhanced by songs from Tejana artist Shelly Lares, Los Angeles musician Nancy Sanchez, and The Last Bandoleros.
Academy Award nominee Edward James Olmos and Luis Fonsi serve as Executive Producers of the film, which was directed by Patrick Perez Vidauri and produced by Cristina Nava of Migrant Filmworks. The production company focuses on creating content that features inclusive characters, appeals to worldwide audiences, and targets the fastest-growing cohort of moviegoers in the country today, the English-speaking US-born Latino audience. To celebrate the holidays, the filmmakers are offering a promotion on the movie's social media, giving fans a chance to win a special box of Valentine's and Galentine's candy.
The digital release of Say a Little Prayer represents a strategic move to reach audiences during peak viewing periods for romantic and friendship-themed entertainment. By making the film available across multiple platforms including Amazon Prime and Apple TV, the distributors ensure maximum accessibility for viewers seeking holiday entertainment options. The inclusion of both romantic and platonic relationship themes makes the film uniquely positioned to capture audience interest during a time when entertainment consumption often centers around these celebrations.
