Pretty Good
I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Blistering performances.
Matt (AJ Buckley) is a postman and takes care of his niece. He has a demanding route for his postal deliveries but things brighten up when he meets bubbly Kristi (Ashley Scott) sent on a special assignment as a 'Santa Writer' whose job is to respond to letters addressed to the North Pole.Kristi is a natural replying to the letters but the local post office boss is far from happy about Kristi and thinks Kristi has been sent by corporate headquarters to spy on him. He forces Matt to spy on her.This is an amiable film, rather light on plot and the acting is a bit hammy. The leads are likable enough and it is hinted that Kristi might be Santa's daughter and really is from the North Pole. The climax is rather flat though but it makes for pleasant undemanding viewing.
This movie should have been great. I loved the scenes with Ashley Scott. Great scenes with the lead actor AJ Buckley. Loved the supporting cast Lochlyn as boss, Rolanda as coworker and Piper as that 8 year old kid with the big eyes. The movie failed in not adequately presenting the story in a dramatic way. For example, the climax of the show which reveals who "Kristi North" really is, was done with a phone voice which you can barely understand. The writers and filming could have been more imaginative in letting the audience know some of the background information on the characters. Enjoyed the characters but the movie lacked that emotional connection- no surprise. When you see a scene where actors are all throwing sprinkles at each other, there is probably something wrong with the movie.
Matt (A.J. Buckley) is a postal carrier for a small city and single father to his niece, Emily. In addition, this man has two other troubles. One, he lost his fiancée, she passed away, and two, he has a very demanding, irrational boss (Locklyn Munro). Thank Goodness a co-worker (Yolonda Harris) is a nice pal. Yet, the big honcho suddenly pulls Matt from his route and asks him to spy on a new employee. That would be lovely Christi North (Ashley Scott), who has been sent from a bigger supervisor to answer letters to Santa, written by the children of the town. Surely, she has other purposes, big boss thinks! So, Matt does as asked. However, he soon finds himself liking Christi very much. But, she does indeed have secrets, like she lives at the North Pole and is Santa's daughter! Will there be any chance for a romance or will Matt get his heart broken again? This is a pleasant film that starts off well. The actors are likable, the sets most attractive and the story fun. However, it loses a bit of oomph as it unfolds, mostly because there is no big, splashy ending. If you like romance and want a holiday film to put you in the mood, then order this film through the mail or investigate other options.
One of the worst Christmas movies I've seen. Starts off OK and then meanders off into a lame, hackneyed and unwatchable mess. It's a good premise too, Santa's daughter supposedly, gets a job working for a *yawn* scrooge like boss who hates Christmas, (Lochlyn Munroe what are you doing in this drivel?) but meets a put upon postman who, yep, falls for her. The 'girlfriend' who tries making the new girl welcome ends up being a drain on the nerves and her attempts at being feisty and 'with it' miss the mark completely, it's a very bad parody of Christmas and that's putting it mildly, yet it's meant to be a 'romantic comedy' - shame they couldn't get actors who played the roles better. I was really disappointed and it's an hour and half of my life that I won't get back again.The write up made it sound like one of the newer Christmas movies that would be good, but the fact that it was made in 2010, didn't even get to DVD but came right on into TV says a few words about how bad this is. This is also available via Amazon's video-on-demand service but really, don't waste your money or your time on it. There are better Christmas movies out there.Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas movies and I do like to watch them but I have to admit to giving up on this one, it is truly dire.
