PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Christmas-Reviewer BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA.If your child recently lost a parent or grandparent then keep this film away from them. If your child has lost a pet then keep them away from this. If you are GAY you will hate this film because there is gay reference/joke that Holly says to Nick and he seems offended that she would think he was gay. This is insulting to me as a gay men. If you are over 12 chances are you have seem this story done 10 x better in 10 other films that have a similar plot. In this film a woman meets her next door neighbor and they are not off to a good start. She argues with him twice in one night and then next she sees that he is the new hire at her days toy store company! Now this woman is a recent widow. Her son misses his dad and soon the family dog gets very ill. The son however seems to get out of his funk when he thinks the new neighbor/moms co-worker is Santa Claus.I think the film would of been better had Gabrielle Carteris not played her role as a stark raving witch. Yes makes for a good transformation but she is so nasty through most of the film. Most viewers will have CHANGED THE CHANNEL by the time she comes around. I do however love the man who plays Nick. His part is to be sweet to her sour but there is no chemistry between the leads. Steve Bacic however was a delight and saves this film from being a complete waist of time. This film is part of the LIFETIME 12 FILMS OF Christmas DVD PACK. This is the least enjoyable one. I have seen about 95-100 Christmas films in the past 2 years. This is near the bottom.
Lingly I love Christmas movies and I think I have a lot of tolerance for corniness, questionable acting, etc., but this movie had me fast-forwarding through scenes halfway through because I got bored and just wanted it to finish.... and I just knew I wasn't going to miss anything. The premise was cute but I kept waiting for something to really HAPPEN. Some of the shots between scenes seemed drawn out like they were just trying to fill time. I thought the character development was non-existent and I couldn't get emotionally involved with any of the characters. And for some reason the boy seemed a little too old for the part. I wouldn't recommend this one to anyone.
jickyjack I often come to this website to read reviews of movies. After watching this movie I was certain that all of the reviews would be scathing. The acting by the mom and the kid was brutal. (Sorry kid...) After reading the first couple of reviews my jaw dropped. 10 stars ?!!! They loved it? As I continued to read I decided that either friends or family, (or themselves), had to have written those glowing opinions. Finally, I read the last one and saw that someone had actually told the truth. After all the times I've come to this site I decided to register so I could warn people that haven't seen this awful movie to not waste their time. Really, if you value your time at all, don't watch what I now consider to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Yes, it was so bad that it got me to register just so I could get the truth out there. I know that our opinions of movies are subjective, but when one is as terrible as this one, I can't believe it got even one good review, let alone several. The great reviews have to be from friends or relatives.
lmtrutt This movie was very heart warming and I think Steve Bacic is fantastic actor and hope he will get more good parts like this and become more well known. Wonderful movie for the holiday season. Loved everything about this movie but especially Steve Bacic. Enjoyed the elves playing around. Seeing Raindeer in a movie again especially Rudolph. This movie is one that the whole family will love and enjoy for years to come. The dog was also a great part in the movie. Some scenes were very touching and some made me laugh. I totally recommend this movie for one and all!More movies of this type need to be made! Enjoyed the wild colored clothes that were worn by Steve Bacic but especially the Santa outfit. It made me believe in miracles again!
